And, can I ask you one more thing... The scrolling bar doesn't reach the end in the top/bottom positions. Can you fix this?

snipes2 In reply to 8000860 [2012-02-23 12:33:19 +0000 UTC]

I know about that...
I can't really change it without issues in other programs that use the msstyle's scroll-bars.
Sorry...

What for did you add 2 files to ExplorerFrame folder (background 1 and 2) if the program you recommend doesn't use them? And how to change that background for "back/forward" buttons?

8000860 In reply to 8000860 [2012-02-10 16:13:34 +0000 UTC]

Sorry. My fault. This is OK: this program named it "Frame", in ExplorerFrame folder it's name is "Background"

8000860 In reply to ??? [2012-02-10 15:35:15 +0000 UTC]

It's awesome! One of the best nowadays!
I don't like only 2 things:
1. That a taskbar is not transparent (it woluld much better theme if you would make it in the same color as the top of windows: smooth transparent dark.
2. I'd like much more explorerframe in .dll file.

snipes2 In reply to 8000860 [2012-02-12 11:48:04 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! I'll probably add another style with a clear taskbar soon
But i don't know where your problem with the explorerframe is...

The explorerframe.dll is only responsible for the back/forwad-buttons in the explorer window and some small icons.
In the folder with the images are two backgrounds: one with a light dark frame and one clear, where you'll only see the small arrows... You can chose whichever you like.

8000860 In reply to snipes2 [2012-02-12 15:00:06 +0000 UTC]

So, your way with explorerframe is better... Thank you. I will be looking forward for a new taskbar style

legr8est In reply to ??? [2012-01-29 00:02:16 +0000 UTC]

I like most of what I'm seeing, except the complete lack of transparency on the taskbar or the thumbnail previews. At least for the theme variants, I'd like the taskbar and the previews to be clear.

snipes2 In reply to legr8est [2012-01-30 11:47:03 +0000 UTC]

When i've finished my latest VS, i'll upload an extra version for the alien styles with transparent taskbars + start menu.
Will take some time though...

FreeRoler In reply to ??? [2012-01-27 14:16:46 +0000 UTC]

That skin looks great but there's one thing that I doesn't like - I prefer to see the titles in my task panel, and long buttons with titles look not as good as usual buttons only with applications's icons.
So, I guess, that option wasn't planned?

hey man love the theme! any idea on when the fix for the "magically appearing" settings is coming? I'm pretty sure I had OCD so I need everything to be working perfectly. Anyway keep up the awesome work man.
