buckaroo Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 How about a dark-grey version like "Deep" from "OpusOS"? bo Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/195319-vs-codename-opus-30/page/17/#findComment-584259975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanDaMan Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 This is an awesome theme but imo it's to gray, even the blue parts look gray. I think it should have more color. I also don't understand why the titlebar is so small. I incresed the size of it by two sizes. I've made a picture to show my ideas. :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/195319-vs-codename-opus-30/page/17/#findComment-584259989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoticDEMENTO Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 @Buckaroo: i think i will finish the black version first...after all it is only my first skin. :blush: EDIT: i might be done in 2 days, or maybe at 3 in the morning...i dunno. thanks for the comments though!

struct Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I found a minor problem with arrow boxes in Outlook 2003. it would be nice to see a little darker blue imo, but good theme overall!

OPaul Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 (edited) Great theme but one thing bothers me, the Start Menu says "Menu" even when using the minimal version. I think it might look nicer if it just had the icon, with no text (like Opus OS). - EDIT - There appears to be a lot of space around icons, see attached image (top is Codename: Opus 2.5, bottom is Opus OS) Edited July 29, 2004 by OPaul Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/195319-vs-codename-opus-30/page/17/#findComment-584260340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a program, it's just Windows. Double click on the title bar and then resize it to the size you want, then it'll always go to that size.

b0se Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 Thanks for the bug reports! I'll get onto them.. The reason the inactive options are faint is due to me wanting soft seperators on the explorer windows, but, its not practical like that so I will change that first (Y) PD: The black version looks nice, tiny preview though, but I appreciate its very early yet :?)

Pas Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 i have a grand idea. why don't you allow b0se to make the skin the way he wants it to be and then you decide if you want to use it as is? i very seriously doubt b0se is making this skin for anyone in particular. a person makes a skin to appear the way he envisions it. if an end-user likes or dislikes the finished product, then it's up to the user to use it or not to use it. you can't expect b0se or any other skinner to make or alter skins to suit each and every person who posts on forums. let b0se, brewman, kol, spyglass, and the other quality skinners make their skins without the constant 'add this' and 'add that' comments. if b0se wants a certain color, he'll add it. pandering to requests in here is not something he wants to do, i'm sure. bugging him on msn to say 'add a black skin' is just plain rude and totally out of line. if anyone wants a certain color, learn to use the app used to build the skin and make it yourself. b0se had to learn. maybe that will be your avenue of learning and you'll soon become a skinner who everyone makes demands of.

Well said, Pas, thanks :?) I can't add everyones requests, and as mentioned, I have my own style which I put into my themes... Thats why, em3, you'll never see colours like you used in your screenshot. I find them bright and obtrusive. They remind me of Luna, which I've always called 'My-First-Operating_system', due to the bright gordy colours which seem to be designed for a childs toy.

Mongrel Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Also inactive selections are a little too dim, hard to read them. See attached image (left is Codename: Opus 2.5, right is Opus OS) Agreed, this is my problem with it. Not "too gray" as someone stated earlier, but the active menus and windows appear inactive. The shades of active & inactive are identical as far as I can tell, and the shaded parts of Outlook are really tough to distinguish. I feel like I'm working in a background program... Wish I knew how to theme - I love the titlebars and little details, but my eyes are getting tired working with the main windows... Great work per usual b0se, hope the suggestions aren't coming so fast as to scare ya away :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/195319-vs-codename-opus-30/page/17/#findComment-584260898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggrophobik Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I think it's fine the way it is, I mean it's inactive anyway, so why does it have to be completely readable? I think it's funny that he (b0se) takes time out of his life to put these things together, and it's never really good enough for ppl. Ever heard the expression "beggers can't be choosers". I mean pointing out bugs is one thing, but asking for more and more and more is just wrong. Just an opinion tho, no offense.

b0se Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) here.. Handy :?) Thanks I'm going to add a new colour (no, not black so be quiet) ;?) Its called Dusk, and its non-grey since I love the Julie Wooh wallpaper, I made it to match it... Its toolbar buttons and taskbar buttons are the same style as normal buttons, so its softer.
