VenQWish Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) After my wallpaper I made during the exams (found here >> https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=334253), I decided to give a shot at creating a theme. I knew it was going to be hard and well.. it is :laugh:. Anyway, here's a first shot, just wondering what you guys might think of it. Just like my walls I'm thinking of making both a version red/light grey and black/light grey. It's gonna take me sometime more (first theme and not all THAT great with graphical progs (yet :whistle:). Anyway, any comments/suggestions greatly appreciated :happy:) Grtz, Rising Sun 0.4 Rising Moon 0.3 Edited June 26, 2005 by VenQWish Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/336548-wip-rising-sunmoon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenQWish Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Thx :). Added taskbar and startmenu. I think the startmenu looks a bit simple but I'm wondering if it's a good thing or not ^^, for now, I'll take it as good :D.

kylejn Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 uh, what? :pinch: 586122011[/snapback] The flag. It's the Japanese naval battle flag, if my history is correct. Hence, the "warmonger" comment. :) As for the theme, it's got a lot of potential. It's still pretty rough around the edges, but I think with some work, you could end up with something that looks pretty slick.

fukachu Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 interesting choice of characters, any reason for them? as they certainly dont translate to the meaning they are used for.

As for the characters, they're just what they fit best for, I don't know the meaning which might make me look like an idiot :blush:. Anyhow, the minimize button is half of a character, just chosen cuzz it's a bar :D. The second one is M on my keyboard and the close button is x... I have no idea about their meaning though, if it doesn't work out, might as well use other caption buttons, but I think it looks nice that way :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/336548-wip-rising-sunmoon/#findComment-586126700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[hxc] Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 i really dig the min/max/close buttons, and the colours. but the start menu and the start button look a little weird to me. great wip though, keep it up.

VenQWish Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Had a few bugs, and I have no idea how to work them out, text being broken off and stuff :/. I think I'll better start from a theme that works perfect, and just mod all the gfx to my liking. I have no idea where to fix those errors I got :pinch:. Gotta get permission first, then start this thing all over from scratch :cry:. It will take some sweet time, when I get something done I'll release it as a beta though and so on. Get sh*t done that way :unsure:. Sry for the :sleep: (wait) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/336548-wip-rising-sunmoon/#findComment-586281899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Fanatic Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Looking nice, but your choice of characters does indeed seem a bit odd if you can read Japanese. :D Can't blame you, though. Katakana does look cool. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/336548-wip-rising-sunmoon/#findComment-586282416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
