sn00pie Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I wasn't going to show you this until the final release, but I see no harm in wetting your appetites.What I (purposely) failed to mention is that XPMC is actually going to be a VS Suite. Not just colour variations - but multiple style variations, but all following the basic 'ruleset' for design that you see with the XPMC you are using. The style you see in this preview is XPMC Induztry - a dark theme with black widgets (check the taskbar out for example). I have a PSD prototype for the third variation (XPMC Cell) but you're not seeing that. I may make a fourth, all depends on the timescale, as I'm uber busy. Each style will have Normal/Compact versions, plus its own colour variations. Oh yes, XPMC v1 will be a beast of a release :?) Click me. Before you ask: No, you can't have it (yet):pp 586244929[/snapback] I'm lost for words, what an excellent choice in colours! :woot:: Legendary theme.

Tsumana Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 (Too late to add this to my last post) Something just occured to me, if that preview is Induztry and the 3rd style is called cell, then what is the currently released style called just XPMC?

scowl Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 awesome. maybe since the titlebar has a rounded effect to it you should do the same to the caption buttons and tabs? probably just me but the font for the new style seems kind of out of place. maybe something a little bolder ala the gfxOasis theme?

tmw Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Does that mean also that we will have multiple colour choices for each style, or that each style with have it's own designated colour scheme? And will we have application skins (WinAmp, Firefox, etc.) for each style/colour? :unsure: This is definately my new favourite theme, b0se.

b0se Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 ahahhaa, silverfrost - whats that cat got in your avatar? Trillian and Winamp skins are being made for XPMC. If the authors do not make ones for the alternate styles, I will release XPMC as-is. You're lucky enough to be getting matching skins for the default theme, so if anyone complains about not having them for the alternate styles - they will get a slap :?) Edit:No>, the caption buttons arenot >changing. They are perfect as they are. There is a balance of rounded and sqaure corners. Like it, or lump it(Y)) :pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jexel Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 i love this theme, goes really well with my matrix theme...with the green. Any chance, that there'll be a WMP matching skin? Sorry if it's too much to ask, I don't normally do requests, just that this theme is so welcoming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpookyET Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 b0ss: Some Swing apps (LimeWire, for example) draw the combo boxes right. Others like X-Develop and jEdit don't. What's the deal with Swing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
