Binary Posted December 8, 2002 Author 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! ;) No, they mean to make it smaller like 18 pixels or something...

Handycam Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 I for one say leave the taskbar the thickness it is. I hate thin taskbars. At 1600x1200 they're way too tiny. But I would love to see some of the graphic treatment of the caption bar worked into the taskbar. A little. I understand if you want to keep it "true" Whistler, though. But the tray chevron is a bit ugly... I'd like to see that changed along with perhaps the tray (clock) area... But this is a killer theme, don't feel pressured to muck it up!

kainashi Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 there would still be the thick taskbar version too. i'd love to see a thin taskbar for it. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/17/#findComment-537728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binary Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 Ok I will make 2 versions for now, a small taskbar and the current one. First of all, I need to know how "small" you guys feel it should be, then I need someone to tell me how to do it ;) I've never made a small one, and I've tried briefly without success. So, anyone wanna teach me? :D (msn me tomorrow, I'm busy tonight, or send me an email with instructions :)) I hope it's not too much work, cause remember there are 4 substyles, and I have a job, so my time is limited to evenings and weekends now.

kainashi Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 thin like saint dark's k10k 2 and samara themes. i'm sure he could tell you how to do it too. thanks for trying a thin taskbar. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/17/#findComment-539227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kainashi Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 can't seem to edit my post but i wanted to add that it should be just thick enough for a system tray outline, like the original version. just a little. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/17/#findComment-539499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Binary, do you think it would be alot of work to skin the task bar to match the theme? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/17/#findComment-539614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessterw Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 The task bar does match the theme... or do you mean the Windows Explorer task pane? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/17/#findComment-540493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binary Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Binary,do you think it would be alot of work to skin the task bar to match the theme? The goal was authenticity, once the theme is as bug free as I can get it, and as authentic to the original, then I may experiment with a watercolor+ version or something. But not right now, I'm just too busy. *and for those who say it's bug free, I still have a few things that need taking care of.* Chris Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/17/#findComment-540633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 what I'm reffering to and what I'd love to see is the task bar skinned to match the title bars, that would be awesome.

Billo3121 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I submitted my skin to Cerulean and still they haven't posted it. I am getting upset. I bet they think it's a rip or something.

Rudy Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 i'd say you should make the taskbar the same size as the one from classic (no theme) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/17/#findComment-541183 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bain Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Binary, That fine, no rush on it.. just thought I'd give you my wish to be done on the Watercolor theme. I do feel that your theme is by far one of the best produced themes out there, I have always liked it and it's been on my computer for some time now. Excellent job with it mate :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/17/#findComment-542373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxikk Veteran Posted December 13, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 13, 2002 no comments... i got the dynamic stylesheet switcher in. please let me know if you see any bugs. note: i still need to compress the art more. if you find a bug, please tell me what browser you are using and what you are seing so i can fix it. i think it looks good, but i need more feedback. my host is fast and should be able to handle any traffic that comes to it. i hope to add downloads and such soon.
