Description
inauspicious beta (aka vitreolus 1.0)I wasn't happy with the way vitreolus was working out so I spun the main
ideas from that theme into this one.
**Warning** This theme is not for those with poor eyesight
The main console consists of a taskbar, clock, and systray. Thats it.
By clicking on various bits of the console you can access these options:
-Media Controls: Left-Click on the button with musical notes
-System Stats: Left-Click on the button with the Omega [and get out your magnifying glass]
-Virtual Window Manager: Left-Click on the far left hand side of the console
-Quick Launch Panel - Left-Click on the far right hand side of the console
Most of the theme should work, but there are things I'm still working on, like:
-Using alphamap on more labels
-Thinking of a better way to look through systray icons
-Getting alphafaded labels in sync.
-OnTop/NotOnTop frustrations
-SysStats Dialog...not terribly happy w/ it right now.
-Moveable/hidable console

I think the popup matches just fine. I would change the popup to have the text centered and add xpopupoverlapX -25 so that they are next to each other. Good work!

Thanks for the overlap idea! I'll include it in the next update.

Nice, I like this much better than your previous one.
Two things. First, the popup doesn't match the top bar. I'd suggest trying to make them look more like each other. Second, at the end of your slider line definition for [volume], change the 0 (zero) to a W. As it is, 0 controls the system volume, and the W setting will control the winamp volume directly.

Thanks for the feedback. I would be nice if main console were as nicely transparent as the popup, but I probably won't be able to do that until xlabel supports alphamapping and hooking at the same time. Although, now that I think of it...there might be a way. I'll look into it
