Binary Posted December 14, 2002 Author Share Posted December 14, 2002 Ok I'm working on a rather large update. I have decided to make a small taskbar version (thanks to dazzlas thread explaining some things) Also I believe I will use a bitmap for the start button (with the other flag) and I am going to hunt down and destroy that resizing bug :D And there may or may not be another color added. I'm debating whether to call it 5.0 once finished, but I think I will...

Chris Thats sweet binary. But, I would keep the more modern flag... as microsoft would have updated the flag to the new one if they kept building it.

Toxikk Veteran Posted December 15, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 15, 2002 binary... maybe you can make the menu highlights all look like the ones when you open the "all programs" in the start menu. GreyBase does it and it looks quite nice. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/18/#findComment-547068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyBase does it and it looks quite nice. huh? oh and I will prolly be updating the shellstyles for the 5.0 release. But remember it's gonna take some time sine I'm working now. So I'd appreciate it if people didnt "bug" me about it ;) It should be done within a week or two.

Toxikk Veteran Posted December 15, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 15, 2002 well... the menu highlight in the start menu has the border around the side when the the normal one, say in any application, is solid. is there a way you can make them all the same? like the greybase theme.

Binary Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Toxikk, if I make the menus that way then the startmenu looks ugly, cause the highlight color for the logoff and shutdown buttons will be different.
