bull Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Did I read somewhere that you have a modded version without the bright white in the program backgrounds? That would it perfect for me. Crappy lighting in my house, darker makes my eyes stay in my head longer. :cool: I searched all over and couldn't find one, but i swear i heard it mentioned. :wacko: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/16/#findComment-532593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binary Posted December 6, 2002 Author Share Posted December 6, 2002 Binary, any news on my two issues? I'm sorry, but I cant seem to fix your issue with the arrow. It's wierd that your having the problem, and others arnt :\ If I keep going into the -'s then the menu starts acting wierd so theres really nothing I can do to remedy your situation :( I will add more text room to the taskbar though, and MAYBE less room between menu items.

Chris Yeah, the arrow thins isn't really a problem, but the lack of text space in the task bar can be bothersome. Thanks for the update.

Mark Otto Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Update: I just moved the tile squares in the title bar more to the right, so it more resembles the title bar from the theme. I suppose I'm a lot farther than ToxiKK already. I'd like to see what he comes up with.

Toxikk Veteran Posted December 7, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 7, 2002 i havent time to come up with anything yet... no need to now. that poop looks phat!!!! i can make different css for it and make is so that you can use the feature in gecko to where you can load up different stylesheets and it keeps it in memory so if a user likes the silver theme it will stay that way. make sure you make different versions of it. are you building the html or is that just the template? if it is, mail me the psd file for that and i will code html and see what i can come up with that.

kainashi Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 binary, will we be seeing a thin taskbar watercolor anytime soon? :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/16/#findComment-536557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binary Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 I had the option of having a site all along thru various means and I never really wanted to start one. But if you guys feel I should have one, then I guess I could start one. It would make sense for the author to have a site for it :) So I can do one, and if people want to help with graphics and layout then I'll take any advise etc. :) I guess then people could email me with/about app skins, and they could be in a central place. kainashi I dont see any sense in a smaller taskbar, but if people want a version with a small taskbar I could try it. Also I still need people to help me make shellstyles, if anyones up for the job email me or post here. I have a mockup but I've just been so busy this week (I am back to a fulltime job) I havent got around to updating anything.

Binary Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 hmmmm I just had an idea. How farout there would it be to make a section of the site where people can upload their own things to the site with preview, like themexp? Then people wouldnt even have to wait, or a small forum might work aswell. it's up to you guys really ;) Chris Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/16/#findComment-536583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brw2KX Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 (edited) i'd be willing to help out with the shellstyle.

Mark Otto Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 The image is just a .psd file I made up Toxikk. The file upload thing Binary could be done in a forum too. That way, you can post new stuff and discuss the theme, etc etc. If Toxikk wants to, he can code the site and CSS. I'm a CSS n00b :p.

Bain Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 I've been reading what you all have been saying about a "thin taskbar watercolor" and I'm wondering if when you all say that do you mean editing the taskbar to look like the watercolor theme? If so that would be tite, I would love to see an edited taskbar to go along with the theme, a matter of fact that is the one major reason why I get sick of the current watercolor theme, the taskbar is too bland for me. That would be an awesome idea Binary, get to work! ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/16/#findComment-537443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
