Description
Pinke has returned once again and in its original form! Well, it's not exactly a remaster, moreso just finishing it, but not like there's a better title.The original version was a WIP that I never got around to completing, despite it having been 2 years. It was made by modifying one of Windows' official High Contrast themes and at that only altered a few color values that can be changed in the UWP Settings app. My intention was always to change everything in it but again, never did so and kind of left it shelved for all this time in favor of working on other themes before dusting it off now. As of late, looking back on the original release has been bothering me because of how unfinished it is; loads of unfitting colors even if most of them are under the hood or only seen in specific circumstances that were "leftover" for lack of better word, and two of which right in front of the user (those yellow and gray window titles), and my surprisingly intentional choice of that horrible gray desktop background color.
So basically all you need to know is that this theme is no longer abandoned and I have updated it more to Pinke 2 and the other themes' standards, and did so the same way I made those. Now every color in the theme has been updated to match what I was going for and it turns out I seemed to have the right idea. I made the Window titles the same as the Window color; I felt it worked well with the aesthetic and also I couldn't find another color / shade that worked well enough. Similarly that mismatched gray desktop has been changed, that could already be easily fixed by the user (who'll probably just set a wallpaper anyway), but it shouldn't of been like that to begin with. Now the desktop background color fits in with the rest of the theme and I think all this was much needed (if kinda simple to do).
I was originally going to call this "Pinke CD", but the reference wasn't that amusing and kind of didn't make sense at all, after that I thought of "Pinke Dark" and "Pinke 1.5", but I ultimately settled for just calling this "Pinke" since it is fundamentally the same theme as the original. Here's a funny little bit of Trivia, I was originally going to call this theme "Pinky" but changed the Y to a E in attempt to make it slightly more unique (although it really wouldn't of mattered). Ironically this theme is actually very purple, it's pretty much the text that's pink. But I suppose that I might not be able to help that, in trying to make a pink theme that's dark...
in my opinion this went from possibly my worst theme (if understandably why - in a way I was just toying around for what is basically the first time), to possibly my best. I just could NOT leave Pinke as it was!
Of course, if you're looking for a lighter (and honestly more pink) theme, you should try out the sequel: www.deviantart.com/themajintai…
