ambientmike Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Can I just say that i think it's a little odd to have the 'History' button in Firefox made to look like a book - like the bookmark button from the default Firefox theme... Otherwise all is OK - and I finally upgraded to Firefox 1.5 without any problems and everything else works OK. EDIT - I just found a few commands for the toolbar.ini for Styler... I added the line FolderOption=EButton-Option.png,160,56 before option=TButton-Option.png,-34,56 in the Explorer section and that works great for opening up the Folder Options dialogue Edited February 1, 2006 by ambientmike Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/422631-smooth-alternative-longhorn-alternative-revived/page/5/#findComment-587141311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neur0tic0 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) 2 things, the firefox smooth, in crystal dark black will be incredible, and its compatible with compact menus, but it left a margin, example, see this screenshot... You see, theres no space left, between the buttons, and the windows bar, with your theme a space is created, the same as if the menus where there, so theres no space free using compact menus, because the space of the menus keeps in there, dont know if you understand me, I will change the theme right now and put the other screenshot. Thanks.

Neur0tic0 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 And with smooth see the space... And a minimized buttons, for the small icons options, will be great too, but it lefts a lot of unusable space between the icons and the window bar, I expect you to understand what Im trying to say, because english isnt my native language, and I sometimes dont know how to explain myself.

6XGate Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 I don't know what theme that is or where to get it to examine it, but the DeviantArt page tells you what to add to userChrome.css to make the menubar dissappear. Not to mention you are using an out-of-date copy of the theme, I can tell by the tab close button. 2 things, the firefox smooth, in crystal dark black will be incredible, and its compatible with compact menus, but it left a margin, example, see this screenshot...

Edited. Installing the last version, Its compatible with 1.5.0.1, GREAT WORK, and consider the black option. Thanks.

6XGate Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Updated the Firefox theme to BETA 3... this may become RC1 or final.

Neur0tic0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 bottons are too big for me, and tabs too wide, i would refer thinner tabs, and smaller buttons set, and in black like you know, but its a good work for anyone that like this light kind of themes.

ledzepp14 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Just installed, and I must say that you're doing a very good job 6XGate. It's nice to see a VS that's not a Vista clone. I can't wait for the YZ Toolbar and the final MS Style. :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/422631-smooth-alternative-longhorn-alternative-revived/page/5/#findComment-587162977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
6XGate Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Just updated the Firefox and WindowBlinds skin, I will be releasing an update to the StylerTB skin next, hopefully I'll get time to work on the Y'z Toolbar them. I also will add the Compact Start Menu substyle to the VS before it hits final, after TGTSoft gives me my registration key, since they seem to be having a problem sending it to me.

feverfive Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Over the past couple of weeks, whenever I change the theme I use, I constantly come back to this...Terrific job. I just want the black version soon so I can use more variations in wallpapers/icons--then I might not ever need to use anything but Smooth Alternative!! Thanks so much for your hard work...

ledzepp14 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 That is from DeviantArt it should have updated. Oh ok.. I got confused cause the image that shows up in the Firefox Theme selection still shows "Version1.0 Beta1".

Hiiragi Tsukasa Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I am not kidding, I am being honest. This skin made me get WB5. This is a great example of what WB5 has potential for. Not for all of the ugly glass themes, and flashy effects, but it gives you the ability to make a skin that preforms smootly, is clean and crisp (No more jaggies or tearing windows) and is still easy on the eyes. Thank you. This is one of, if not the best skins I've ever used.

eyeball1978 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Will there ever be a version with the origional windows button? I doubt it. One of the reasons why LHA was taken down was because of the fact that Microsoft claimed that the Win Flag Start Button was a Trademark infringement.

ambientmike Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 One problem that I have with the latest VS is that the top left and right of any window seems to be a dead spot for the resizing of windows. Is it just me?
