I absolutely love this, it goes well with any wallpaper as well (I'm quite picky about that )

aaah ok. Segoe UI is the best screen font with ClearType enabled Hard to use the old faves Tahoma, Verdana after using Segoe UI. Ill see if I can make it configurable to use Tahoma.

Oh well, it seems my bad luck rampage just keeps going on and on, now I just simply can't install p-black-02, I've already uninstalled all the new pico versions, re-downloaded them all, either luna or ubuntu works fine, when I install this one through WB it just adds an unknown skin, and if I double-click on it, on the WB taskbar icon appears a saying "the ' ' skin was installed...." when it was supposed to say "the 'p-black-02' skin was...lala". I just don't know what to say... lol oh but before oing all this I applied the skin as soon as I downloaded it, and the titlebar when maximized was even smaller (or maybe the contents/text were lower) because then not only did the text was a little below the black zone, also the shadow of the Firefox icon was starting to appear lol. Either way, I'll keep trying some more things I can remember. Maybe it's just me as I'm having pretty bad vibrations lately lol I'll update my adventure if I get any results

i see the problem. when the window gets maximized the font is pushed down by a pixel or two. i removed 3 px from the top a while back and that's the reason why it's off. not good. i'm working on a fix. thanks for reporting it.

wicked skin! I've been using pico tea since it was in beta. I'm graphic design and love the minimal-ness of your designs — they're so free of fuss and 3d effects. We're all using your skins at our studio for this reason.

One glitch though:
The menu (FILE EDIT IMAGE etc) is transparent in all CS2 applications and impossible to see. Illustrator and Photoshop both get the weird transparency problem when maximized. I've unloaded this skin and re-installed good ol' pico tea but am really looking forward to beta of this skin. InDesign CS2 (and even CS did this) needs to have skinning basically turned off because it seems to read some of its colours for menus and fonts in a different way than everything else out there! Weird but true.

Keep up the good work, man!!

Besides the right side shellstyle I LOVE this.
Another great work from you, your "Beta"s are better than a lot of peoples final.

thanks

no worries, you can switch between left and right shellstyle once i package up the beta. maybe a week or two, i'm still in experimentation mode.

I've got to hand it to you - the evolution of your designs is always logical and almost always an improvement. Although I still prefer pico gray, this is getting very good. The transparency is subtle, and the stripe is well-integrated into the window by way of the black border. Good job. I'll be testing this one out for awhile.

love the black theme - using it now...

nextmario In reply to TheBlueFrog [2007-01-28 04:08:28 +0000 UTC]

Transparency is coming. See p-luna-blue [link] for prototype.

i probably will not add user pic. window blinds support for user pic sucks. i can't figure out how to make it use the current user's picture. i might however, add enough space to act as a placeholder you can modify the top graphic of the startpanel and insert your own.

Very, very impressive. I can't stress this enough, but I almost want to kick myself for not having found out that you've released Pico WBs that don't glitch up Office 2007 anymore (and I'm glad to see you do care about the users using it - some people don't).

All I could say was W00T. This one is no different, if not a bigger W00T because I want something like this. ^_^

Keep it up. Had the glitch not been there, I'd have been using your skins for a fairly long time. ^_^
