[VS] SouLuna


Recommended Posts

Argh shut up! Is that so important - VS or WB ? You all shout here like a crazy bunch of ants whatever.. does that really matter... i suppose everyone here is adult so pretend that youre smart.. it would be acceptable if i would troll about VS or WB.. but not the "cream" of Neowin... More than 1000 posts and you're still trolling about something unimportant.. cant you just shut up for one second ?

<hr>

Umm.. Yeah... ;)

He's just saying some people looking at the front page may think it's a StyleXP theme and he was trying to clear things up. Obviously Visual Style isn't owned by the patches, but on a neowin forum VS generally applies to StyleXP theme over WB theme.

Anyway nice theme none the less. If i had WB i'd use it but i don't want to get it just for this >.>

Good job ^^

You get so much more with WB, not 'just' this theme. ;) Good job, Morphium !

To all the 'RIP !' people : Of course it is similar, it is a variation of the original Luna, You remember ?

I'm sure that there are people who call MP3's "Winamp songs". But I don't think anyone would recommend enabling such wordage.

Similarly, calling an msstyle a "Style XP theme" is a slap in the face to the people at Microsoft who worked very hard for a very long time to 1) Create .msstyles as a format and 2) Develop the engine to run them.

Style XP is the equivalent of one of those game cracks that remove the CD copy protection from a game. The difference is that people don't think that the crack IS the game.

Themes, visual styles, skins, are often interchanged and there is no definitive definition on any of them.

However, visual styles are commonly considered to be a special type of skin designed to change the look and feel of an existing GUI.

WindowBlinds has been using the term visual style for years.

BTW, great job on this Morphium. I agree, it looks similar to ReLuna. But I don't think there's a Reluna logof screen or please wait screen and it has toolbar icons.

It has a nice clean look to it.

Log Off and Off Computer button are gone/become plain black after awhile of usage. :(

I have that problem too. Happens with a few other themes as well. Im going to make note of which ones have this problem.

I would try it too but not sure I wanna deal with windows blind again, it's such a resource hog, at least the version i tried years ago. Has it become better since?

Yea version 4 is a lot better. I still wouldn't use it though...

And about those black cubes - they are with all skins.. It's just DirectX error.. They show up after the usage of a few programs, mostly all games... :p

Hrm - well with SouLuna I'm looking at under 3 megs of memory usage? Pretty good to me, considering I can't even get the Themes service to run that small!

BTW, Morphium - kick butt WB skin. It's nice to actually be /using/ WB again, rather than a .msstyle. ^_^

Screenshot, for those who want to see.

I'm not sure how accurate this is, as I haven't got WB installed, but apart from the fonts it seems to be vaguely okay-ish.

There's a few problems with the scrollbars (forgot to set Transparentcolor), and various other parts of the theme, which I'll fix up tonight.
