IMO the first one was better. And you can't please everyone cos someone like this and someone the old one. :( I think just use the one you like more or release it like a substyle.

Gorgeous theme! :woot: :yes:

Instead of b0se make the small start button a substyle, I'll tell you how to do it...

1. Open the corresponding TEXTFILE in Reshacker, in this case I was using the NORMALALPHA2_INI (Compact start menu, normal sized fonts)

2. Export the TEXTFILE as an .ini

3. Open up the .ini and find the [start::Button] section

4. Change the ContentMargins to -58, 65, 3, 3

5. Save the .ini and replace the old one in Reshacker

6. Find the bitmap ALPHA2_SBNEW_BMP and replace it with the attached button

7. Save as .msstyles and apply

Spyglass: I was always meant to change that menu to the start menu style - but I had completely forgotten! Thanks for reminding me :?)

There will be no sub styles of sub styles of sub styles:pp

People ask far all sorts of combinations and it is not possible to cater. The only variations will be normal / compact start panel, and colours.

I've fixed every single bug mentioned, and a few more I'd found. i've also added tweaks and details to things such as glyphs. RC2 will be another 1-2 hours.

Sounds great Ross. Can't wait to see it. Any chance of filling us in on what the colour variations may be?

Or, you could mod that .bmp a bit and use the finished result with TClock Light. :rolleyes:

You need to use "Action -> Save resource as binary file..."

Or you could not run any extra programs at all and do what I did?

RC2 does not have colours. Colours are in the final version...

RC2 is a 'bug free' pre-final release. That extra bit of testing. It also allows you guys to use the theme while I work on colours, instead of having to wait another week.

Colour variations will be added manually - no simple recolours. But, to answer your question (finally):

XPMC (The current Style)

Grey (same as the one you're all using, but grey toolbars etc instead of the (lovely) coffee tint.

Black

Olive

(Maybe... maybe, Purple. Or orange).
