Winswy Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I'd say the Xmas theme on my site is very useable Joe, i must never have sent it to you.

Bubbabyte Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 I think some "simpler" snow would be better on the start panel. Also is the canydy cane style stripped part on the task bar for when its unlocked? Cause that would make sense, but if that there when its locked, it looks out of place and pretty ugly IMO, Id prefer to have it out to keep teh task bar cleaner looking.The theme is definitely coming along very nicely though, I think Ill be using it come December. 586802393[/snapback] the candy cane stripe is only when unlocked.. i'm "hoping" to have the msstyle completed within the next few days, i've decided that i will release it before i port to WB to make sure i get as many bugs fixed as possible. *NOTE* there will be a compact menu, however there will not be any fat, thin, thick, skinny taskbars... it is what you see.. no more sizes or colors.

Code.Red Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 This actually looks pretty nice! The only thing is that the snow you are using right now looks a little busy, maybe make it like a mix of what you have and what was posted earlier? Anyway, nice job!

It's not so bad either. However, I think you could've used a different font; using a Times New Roman-like font is horrible looking for a GUI.

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 13, 2005 In my opinion, I liked the older shot better. No stars in the Start Menu makes the thing look kind of plain. I'd prefer to keep the snow at the top, remove the stars at the top, but keep the stars at the bottom. Also, I favour coloured window borders. Makes everything look like one piece instead of a separated window border/titlebar. These are only my suggestions; I cannot speak for the others who may appreciate these changes. The tabs and buttons look fine, though. :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/396284-unamed-christmas-theme/page/3/#findComment-586803861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

autodefe Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Nice work, Bubba. I'm looking forward to using this. I just can't believe it's taken 4 years for someone to make a functional Christmas style. :woot: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/396284-unamed-christmas-theme/page/3/#findComment-586807770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vibes1963 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yes i think the stars at the bottom of the start menu look better and also the red square in the start menu doesn't look as good as the original screenshot.

turkishdelight Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 That looks pretty good, way better than I thought. I like it. Yeah, some parts could use some un-Luna Element-ing. Oh, and of course, Christmas colors are torture for colorblind people, but who cares :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/396284-unamed-christmas-theme/page/3/#findComment-586810871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkishdelight Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Not bad. I'd personally prefer close/etc. buttons that were just a bit more glossy-looking. Also, I'm personally not fond of the maximize/dropdown menu icons :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/396284-unamed-christmas-theme/page/3/#findComment-586811454 Share on other sites More sharing options...

autodefe Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have a suggestion: make the Windows flag on the Start button a snowflake or something. That would be hot.

#Michael Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hey Bubba....since you have done such a great job on this theme any chance you might do a Hanukkah theme? Might in some nice shades of blue and white?
