This theme is minimal (as such), but not compacted. Too small margins do not go with long term use. Taskbar glyphs: staying as they are. I like them. Why are arrows necessary? It's not as if you don't know what they do... Scribble: W9D logo. Stays :?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly OT: Dont know if you've noticed but with your B0se Classic V2 theme theres a problem. When you log on/off the (Normal Taskbar, Blue Scheme, with Full menu) taskbar sort goes off the screen, like it moves down a good few pixels till it cuts of the writing on start button.

jukeboxhero52 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 oh man....thats gonna be nice once it has color and fonts. Good job man...much better than regular old 'classic' winamp skins, which are quite boring. Could you squeeze a little 'eject/open' button in there? I do alot of single file playing instead of playlist and thats the one thing that bugs me about iTunes type skins...no button. Ya Ya i know the keyboard shortcut, but still. :) 586232236[/snapback] Thank you, (and everyone else) for the feedback. I was actually going to add 2 more buttons to either side of the stop button, just wasnt sure which ones would be best. I have an old vcr that has the 6 button layout, and thats what gave me the idea in the first place. b0se, thanks for the tip. I had a feeling that the buttons might be too large, making the entire skin feel bulky and the exact opposite of what i wanted. When I finish the main window to "perfection", i'll try to imitate that in a slimmed down version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJC Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 When pressed, is the "Start" text 1px too low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitschi_austria Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 When pressed, is the "Start" text 1px too low? 586233067[/snapback] I noticed this as well, but I think it's definitely supposed to look like this: it gives the impression that the button is actually pressed DOWN. I like it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Kalck Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I found a bug with the Google Toolbar the buttons are a bit too high and they are slim, this bug occur with some themes, but not all. Maybe there's a workaround ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stays :?) 586232511[/snapback] I have to disagree on the startbutton. It does look a lot better if you move the startbutton to the left. Besides it won't affect the usability in any way, since the startbutton is wide enough. It would probably even enhance the usabiltiy, because if you want to click the startbutton you just whoop your mouse to the bottem left corner and if it is properly aligned to the left almost no aiming is needed. Right now you have to aim a little bit right from the edge of the screen. .... so your reason to place it there for usability doesn't really hold in my opinion. I agree with "Too small margins do not go with long term use.", but in this case... no. The taskbar glyphs: They are fine. Looks good, but it contradicts with what you say in the line above. Small things don't go with long term use... they are pretty small. Maybe the click area is bigger then the glyph itself, but still a user will experience it as hard to click if it is that small. My opinion: sacrifice usability for looks in this case. Those aren't buttons that you use much anyways and if you do, you chose the wrong setup of your taskbar.

I can just aim for the edge in the very bottom and very left and still hit the start button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
