Binary Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Binary: I have Ergonomic and Blue done for thin taskbars if you don't have any done, I can package em up and send em your way so you can work of them. Lots of bitmaps had to be f0x0r5ed with before I could get the right look.Here it is so far: http://virtualbottojr.no-ip.org:12300/~elw...sktops/jan4.jpg Yes I did a small taskbar version and ended up scrapping it by accident... (So I know how many bmp's had to be changed) Thats cute, but too small. If anything I'm only going to lower it by 1 or 2 pixels..

RFrost Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 (edited) Actually I think it would be great if we could get an idea about any new color schemes you're thinking about, Binary. I know I'd love to see a black scheme and maybe even a nice bright red scheme. :) Thanks! /edit/ OK I'm kinda slow and I just noticed that the Watercolor Plus suggestion thread was closed, so I hope no one minds, but I thought of something that might be kinda cool for future WC's. What do you think of multiple colors in a scheme? This sounds kinda corny, but to give an idea, you could use a green and red theme for Christmas or a black and orange theme for Halloween. I dunno, just thought it was worth mentioning. I'm done now :D /edit/ Edited January 6, 2003 by XCleanLivingX Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/23/#findComment-586735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcloum Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I find it bizarre to think changing a tiny flag to a tiny apple will miraculously improve the entire feel of the OS, especially if one thinks the OS is restrictive and dull. It's just a few pixels, after all. If changing one tiny little icon to the logo of another OS can make Windows change from crappy to divine, then I think the problem is entirely in the eye of the beholder. -_- i totally agree :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/23/#findComment-587057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmuBite Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I'd love to give this theme a try (looks very nice), but I can't get it off of ThemeXP. I always get a time out or page not found from the provided link. Is there any other place I can download this theme?

OldeCrow Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hey Binary i was experimenting today with replaceing bitmaps with a color in a theme (just for kicks) and though stylebuilder wont let you do this .. if the class is defined as a image you cant change it to a color .. you can edit the xml document that stylebuilder creates for your style and replace the Bgtype=imagefile information with borderfill information .. you could conceiveably reduce the size of watercolor WAY more by changeing to a color reference where you are just useing a single color image now. The method worked with the images i tested and once you manually replace the image info with a color reference you can open the style back up in stylebilder and its happy to work with the color reference .... :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/23/#findComment-588276 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animaniac Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 What's this obsession with a thin taskbar? Frankly it makes everything look too squashed to me. The thin menubar in apple has a different function, where a thin form factor can work. A thin taskbar not only looks awful, but must be more difficult to use.

Binary Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 Can we please keep this thread on track? It's only for discussion of the current watercolor theme.

Marduk Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Those colour schemes they had planed for WaterColour plus were quite good ideas, just add those, maybe give us an option of a thin taskbar like Mafia so easily does without pulling peoples hair out for requesting it.

nutternutin Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I have another visual style from somewhere else, can't remember whwere, called "Metallic Shades" which is exactly like this.
