andrewsmith2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Looks great. I'm using it now :) Just a couple of questions. Am I right to be using Style XP to use this theme and how do I get my start menu looking like the one shown in the screenshot as on my start menu, I have text next to the icons on the right side of the start menu. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/195319-vs-codename-opus-30/page/23/#findComment-584268056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I finished converting it over to WB and I think it is working prefectly. Uhm, do you mean just finished as in your were fixing it up? And "think" isn't "is" working perfectly. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/195319-vs-codename-opus-30/page/23/#findComment-584268090 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StyleXP should work fine. The version without the text next to the icons is what we call "compact". In StyleXP you should notice there is an Alpha and Alpha Compact etc. The compact has no text.

OPaul Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 (edited) While we wait for someone else to take up the Trillian port I made a quick bitmap to replace an existing skin to make the outer appearance of Trillian and the message windows "Codename Opus"ish (Dusk colors). This will only work on stixe skins using "Minimal". I'm using the Opus OS skin that Armlann on DA made. I also requested a port on the Trillian forums here and by mistake here too.

artstorm Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 (edited) I must say that this visual style is just amazing. I got it installed on my desktop immediately. :woot: Anyway, I've never done any trillian skinning, so I don't know very much about it, but I did modify the default blue skin a little bit in Photoshop just to make it fit better together with the Deviantart scheme of Codename: Opus. Very quick and dirty modification with lot's of things to wish for to make it complete. But it was way more fitting than the original blue trillian though. If someone else would be interested in this, I guess I could spend some time learning the trillian skinning system and make it better and more complete, but I've quite a lot of work the coming two weeks so I won't have the possibility to make as regular updates as the amazing bose.

AaronMT Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Just a tip, if you guys used Miranda you wouldnt have to use and make and beg for skins, since it uses windows native skinning.

casao Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Just a tip, if you guys used Miranda you wouldnt have to use and make and beg for skins, since it uses windows native skinning. But if we used Miranda, we wouldn't be using Trillian I've tried Miranda, Gaim, Messenger-2, trillian, etc. I liked trillian the best, which is why I bought Pro 2, because it's the best imo.
