Description
• About Streamline¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well, I'm sure everyone is just as excited as me about the pending release of streamline. Personally since the huge positive response when first posted, streamline has now become my main project; and most of my design time has been dedicated to the release. I know it may test your patience, but I hope that the quote "good things take time" will prove true.
Other projects, such as vector projects, and the design of my business card have been put on hold for the time being. But I hope that after the release I will continue to have time to dedicate to these.
Besides that, everything is on schedule, and as of now almost everything has been completed in photoshop, and ready for conversion. Continued efforts on the mac style theme have also been made, along with time spent on the explorer windows. Since the explorer window can make or break a theme, I really want it to be right the first time.
There will also be some modifacations on the current theme, such as a smaller start buttons, and smaller start bar. Along with a few other minor changes everything should be packaged as one unit on release day. There will be work done on smaller extensions later, such as a trillian skin, and possibly a itunes skin if everything goes as planned.
Thank you so much for the kind comments, and for the encouraging words.

Great dark skin, but the round taskbar (a flat one would match better!), the BIG startbutton and the standard font (clock) looks awful !

you know how you got the programs with icons and text on the left. and then on the right you have a really thin list with only small text on it. well having a version where both were the elongated style would be nice.
this type of thing: [link]
look at the programs list. see what i mean? your style, just elongated.

I just registered here to say that this is the coolest theme I´ve ever seen... WOW that´s awesome... The large start button is super sexy.
I personally hope that there is no very bright areas, other themes I´ve tried that mix very dark and bright areas cut my brain in half and gets me a little closer to my next migrain attack lol
Very nice theme can´t wait.

It's not supposed to be a tease. It's an update, that way people know what's happening, and can post comments so that I can change things as I go.

I hate to get in the middle of this but common lenin, show the media soldier some respect. Its his theme after all and 'it'll be released once its done'.
Plus i'd prefer to have one release which is stable then several buggy releases.

nice, but i have one concern with the font size, many of the visual styles use standard fonts such as arial and tahoma which is cool. But i am unsure about your font choice it would seem to be very small on larger screens, so maybe if you offer a variety of fonts. Other than that look forward to release

themediasoldier In reply to 5nak3 [2006-10-30 14:54:50 +0000 UTC]
It's arial, and there will probably be more than one included font.

sakurakira In reply to ??? [2006-10-30 05:46:15 +0000 UTC]
looks really sleek. i really like that start menu. are you only going to have the window frame be black? or the window/menu background as well? that will make the difference for me as to whether i can use this theme or not. themes with a black window/menu BG are just too dark.
examples:
dark bg + dark frame [link]
light bg + dark frame [link]
