6XGate Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 I just posted the properly working version that has the full Start Panel. It is labelled "Standard Start Panel". As far as the AA goes... editor program did that. Great start, obviously still needs a bit of work, but i will keep my eye on you.

alianyn Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Great Skin! i have two requests - first (a bug perhaps) - i think the rollup value is set up wrong, because when windows are rolled up - this is what they look like second request (has been mentioned before) - a substyle for top taskbars - so the start button is protruding downwards. @AgonitE - nice, waiting for release...

6XGate Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 I don't know about a Styler skin since the last time I installed Styler it fried my WindowBlinds installation. I had to uninstall Styler, then uninstall and reinstall WindowBlinds. What a mess. The Y'z Toolbar theme (seen in the screenshot) will be updated for the new look (glossier buttons) as well as a native WindowBlinds toolbar theme. If anyone knows why Style would fry a WB install, please tell me. hm sweet skin :) even better than the original :) im wondering, any plans on a styler toolbar? or Yz toolbar...like in the original version?

Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 20, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 20, 2006 I could try and make a Styler toolbar. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/422631-smooth-alternative-longhorn-alternative-revived/page/2/#findComment-587090728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
6XGate Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 n/m... Since it still had the settings from my last install to use only the toolbar mode, it didn't mess up my WindowBlinds install. I know it did something to the settings the first time, but still don't know what. I will probably work on a Styler them for it tomorrow or this weekend since I just bought the Toolbar only version of Styler.

rodkelly Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Much better, thanks for turning this around as fast as you did. Note to everyone to make sure you clean out the previous installations first then install this one.

eyeball1978 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 LHA was and still is one of my favorite themes of all time. I'm glad to see that the theme is being revised so that it can be brought back from the dead. A few comments on what I have seen so far - - I would love to see a Styler Toolbar for this updated release. Glad to see that it is being considered. - The smaller shellstyle is great, but I think it would look better if it were a few pixels thinner. - The new start button globe is a great idea. Any chance the taskbar can be a few pixels thicker. It just doesn't look right at the moment or maybe I am just too used to using Kol's VistaXP :) - I prefer the taskbar tray chevron from Krezno's MSStyle Port and feel it would look better if the taskbar thickness was increased. Oh and thanks for the updated theme package. It installed just fine this time without having to rename files and make changes to others :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/422631-smooth-alternative-longhorn-alternative-revived/page/2/#findComment-587090898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 20, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 20, 2006 This is one of the skins that i'm working on to match the Smooth Alternative Windowblinds skin: Smooth Alternative Light I'm working on a Dark version aswell. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/422631-smooth-alternative-longhorn-alternative-revived/page/2/#findComment-587091851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
6XGate Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Please note to anyone designing skins for Smooth Alternative. I am planning to change the style of the toolbar buttons from the original. Please wait until I release the Styler and Y'z Toolbar themes and the toolbar skin from WindowBlinds before releasing any skins for other applications. Plus the Dark and Xtra versions of the skin will go under similar chagnes as the light version/ This is one of the skins that i'm working on to match the Smooth Alternative Windowblinds skin: Smooth Alternative Light I'm working on a Dark version aswell. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/422631-smooth-alternative-longhorn-alternative-revived/page/2/#findComment-587092266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

6XGate Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well folks I am currently working on a StylerToolbar for Smooth Alternative and need to replace a few things, but the next release will be before Monday most likely, so keep your fingers crossed.
