Description 22.12.11 // update two:
// added alternative transparent version (>bottom image<)

22.12.11 // update:
// finished the VS for open beta
// added transparent version (>bottom image<)
// changed boxes, buttons, trackers, progress bars, fixed taskbar

19.12.11 // update:
// changed the caption buttons
// added the start menu
// added custom buttons
// added explorerframe images

16.12.11 // update: download enabled (horrible beta, haven't touched most parts. I suggest you to wait for the final version )


new project
actual screenshot, no mockup.

I'll probably change the caption buttons so something more fitting later. I'm also thinking about a transparrent version, too.

Thoughts?

Hey,
IΒ΄m looking foward to use this, when itΒ΄s finished!
I found an awesome Tool: [link]
You donΒ΄t have to change the explorerframe.dll, itΒ΄s the easiest way.

Can you support this in your VS, please?

Yeah, you're right I've been spending hours upon hours working on this thing. Granted, I'd probably be spending less time if I was an experienced themer. But yeah, I've already come across a few bugs in my theme that I'm trying to phase out early on.

Good luck! I look forward to trying out your theme.

Vielen Dank auch fΓΌrs Austesten!
Das Bugfixing wird nochmal Arbeit...

Die RechtsklickmanΓΌs sind wahrscheinlich von den Programmen vorgegeben, ist zumindest bei Firefox, Chrome und Opera der Fall, ich werd mir das aber noch geauer anschauen.

Ach, die MenΓΌleisten vergess ich meistens, da ich weder Gimp, noch andere Programme verwende, die diese Leisten brauchen... Danke fΓΌr den Hinweis!

Ich wΓΌnsch dir ein Frohes Fest!

outofashion In reply to snipes2 [2011-12-24 01:13:42 +0000 UTC]

ja kann sein wegen den rechtsklick menΓΌs.

ja ich weiss jetz niht genau welche programme, bemerkt habe ich es bei icofx, gimp, der firefox bookmarks-sidebar (oben bei der ΓΌberschrift) und 7zip ... alle greifen auf so einen blau,weissen hintergrund zu.
(welcher glaube ich von der original win7 aero.msstyle stammt).
falls nΓΆtig kann ich gern screenshots machen.

danke, dir auch frohes fest und frohe feiertage

looking better and better! glad my 'plus' signs inspired you for the grouped taskbar buttons!
a theme that I might finally use!
just one suggestion: when you finish it, make an alternative version with light grey or semitransparent window frames. Why? Because dark window frames fatigues the eyes really bad. This coming from a guy spending more than 10 hours a day at the computer... not really a healthy life, I know... but it's a living!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

snipes2 In reply to dpcdpc11 [2011-12-20 11:00:55 +0000 UTC]

Darn, i thought the plus sings on the taskbar were a great idea! I must have seen it on you VS then... I didn't want to rip it of, i really thought they are my idea.But you were first obviously
However, how did you fix the margins on the taskbar?
I tried different things, but i don't seem to get it right. Since i use one plus for "two windows open" and two pluses for "three or more windows open", one image always gets smudged...

I'll do a transparent version, too, but not until the very end. Have to do everything else first, so i don't have to work on two VS at the sane time

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

dpcdpc11 In reply to snipes2 [2011-12-20 20:06:07 +0000 UTC]

it's not a problem bro... not accusing you of ripping of my work, cause heck, I didn't invent the plus signs... I''m just glad that my ideas are spreading.
regarding your issue... can you please send me a screenshot so I can see exactly what you mean, so I can help you out?

regarding the transparent version... that's what I was saying as well... do the transparent/light version when the dark version is finished and after all the bugs have been fixed... else you'll have to work on 2 styles at the same time.

snipes2 In reply to dpcdpc11 [2011-12-21 14:35:23 +0000 UTC]

Here's a screenshot...
somehow the i can't find the margins that won't deform the pluses...
[link]

I can only use different margins for ether the small taskbar icons or standard taskbar icons.
But creating two versions becaus of that is ridiculous...
Thanks!

dpcdpc11 In reply to snipes2 [2011-12-21 22:59:49 +0000 UTC]

it's simple my friend.. has nothing to do with the margins.
you have to set the SIZINGTYPE:ENUM to TRUESIZE, instead of STRETCH.

snipes2 In reply to dpcdpc11 [2011-12-22 12:01:23 +0000 UTC]

Yes, i tried this, too, but not the pluses are misplaced (4px down)
I guess i'll have to go with that...

hey bro... been testing ur theme and here's a screenshot with the feedback: [link]
Also not included in the screenshot:
- needs skinning: Start Menu> Control Panel pop out menu
- in the Start Menu I would remove the separator
- in the transparent version 2 I would either make the title bar text dark grey, or add a dark glow to the white text
- needs skinning: top menu bar which you can see in Win7 Style Builder for example.
- suggestion: make a completely transparent window frames version. Like I said before, using dark window frames on a light wallpaper, burns the eyes like hell.
Hope this helps my friend! Send a message when you add the next update so I can test it again
