jmc777 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Nice theme - great update! :) I know this will be decried as heresy in these here parts......but I'd like this theme even more if the taskbar was thicker. :o Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145446-vs-hmmxp/page/13/#findComment-2103456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nuroticat Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Wow, excellent work, the update was worth waiting for! The Codename Whistler scheme is like the Watercolor Lite update we never got.

aggrophobik Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I've been on the laptop all day so I havn't been able to check it out, but I was wondering if the taskbar is still tan in the Whistler sub-style.

Mongrel Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I don't get it - Page 1 says that the themes come in both Compact and Normal Start menu (except Whistler - can't wait!), but they don't appear to be available for me. The previous version (maybe not the most recent) worked fine, so I don't think it's my machine... I've got Blue, Dotted, Green, and Red, the Mono versions of each (which just changes the color a bit), then Whistler. Am I missing something???

B!G Fr@nk!3 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I love Hmmxp, use it longer then other styles. But I've a problem with the last update (version 2), I'm missing the grey color style and there all in compact mode not the full mode :wacko: Is this only with me or are there other persons here with this problem?

Mongrel Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Fugacious added "!! Only Mini Startpanel at the moment !!" on the 1st page of this thread, so there's no full-sized start panels in v2 at this moment in time. Actually, the first post read: Blue, Green, Red and Dotted substylesin two Colorvariations. New special substyle: codename Whistler !! Only Mini Startpanel at the moment !! So you can see why one might think, such as myself, that the mini startpanel might only be in relation to the Whistler theme. Just so know one thinks I didn't read the post. :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145446-vs-hmmxp/page/13/#findComment-2108543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

feisty xan Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I love Hmmxp, use it longer then other styles.But I've a problem with the last update (version 2), I'm missing the grey color style and there all in compact mode not the full mode :wacko: Is this only with me or are there other persons here with this problem? http://users.pandora.be/bigfrankie/-%5b%20.../HmmXp_menu.JPG http://users.pandora.be/bigfrankie/-%5b%20...p_startmenu.jpg I have the same problem with the "all programs" in my german XP. A probable fix for this (I think) would be the removal of the "icon" in front of the text. If I knew how to do that with Style Builder without messing up the whole VS I'd do it by myself. But I'm still hoping that Fugacious or anybody else could fix that for everybody who has that problem :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145446-vs-hmmxp/page/13/#findComment-2108833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiamS Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 First of all, I love this VS. It's super clean, easy to use, and attracts just the right amount of eyeballs here at work. :happy: There is only one bug that I've run into. It's not bad, not even really annoying, but a bug, nonetheless. I have my Quick Launch icons set to large. Note the split highlight. Overall, really nice work on this! It's one of my faves. -Ciam Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145446-vs-hmmxp/page/13/#findComment-2108924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I love HmmXP - Mono Dotted but there is one serios problem on the titlebar with 120 DPI fonts (125% normal size) Some visual styles like Slate XP and most "Longhorn Aero" based skins display the title bar buttons correctly so it must be possible to display this correctly somehow :cry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145446-vs-hmmxp/page/13/#findComment-2111689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted May 15, 2004 Supervisor Share Posted May 15, 2004 (edited) *Edit: Nevermind about the magic pink thing... It was just a mistake in the optimization, which changed the color slightly. So yay, nice theme. Since I got this theme, I've been making some mods to it. Like 1px borders (which required some tweaking of your default graphics and margins), and the latest thing I tried to do was to optimize the theme by indexing all the bitmaps. That didn't work out too well, as you can see... I'm gonna go back through Gimp and see if anything is amiss with the colors, but I find it strange that the magic pink on the caption bars was affected, but not any other instance of magic pink appears non-transparent... So... Bugs I've seen so far: Control Panel. I guess I'll fix that on my own eventually. Say, would you mind sending me a copy of the theme with just the watercolor style (no blue/green/red/mono)? I've been trying to mod it, and have to admit, the 1000+ files that I'm working with are a bit unwieldly. I tried deleting them myself, but with the tools I have, it could take a very long time. I'm guessing you might have a faster way to do it (and know how to do it safely for that matter). You can PM me for an address to send it to. I'd also be willing to transfer to you the modified bitmaps and *.ini files which make this 1px border mod work, along with all the optimized graphics (if I can solve the magic pink problem). Here's what it looks like with 1px borders... All the graphics have been indexed, so the filesize is smaller and the images do not contain any irrelevant information.
