RootWind Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 What's the name of the wallpaper in the screenshot? b0se's screenshot? He included it with the VS. :huh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/433372-beta-1-guiair/page/6/#findComment-587207837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertin Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 b0se's screenshot? He included it with the VS. :huh: Ah, didn't notice. :) Are the minimize, maximize and close symbols supposed to be positioned like that? It looks like the they should be more centered.

b0se Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Meh, It's OK. No way near as good as the first original mockup. Yeah because they are totally different aren't they. How on earth do different caption button glyphs, a start button, and a slightly different active taskbar taskband make this version vary so much from the original? gertin: Its the first pre-release beta, not touched the caption button glyphs yet (Y) Edited February 17, 2006 by b0se Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/433372-beta-1-guiair/page/6/#findComment-587207884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4020 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Lovely theme b0se (Y). I have to admit when I first applied the theme I wasn't too sure about the bar below the start menu/taskbar etc but after using it for awhile i've totally got used to it. Keep up the good work oh and beautiful website :happy:.

MightyJordan Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I like the screenshot on the first post but I have a question. How do you use it? I've extracted the .zip but it just comes up with a file with no format. Do I need some program like StyleXP to install it?

techbeck Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I didnt read through all the post because I dont have the time...but... Are you going to have a minimalistic version? Like a smaller start menu and such? What about different colors besides blue? I like it tho, been using OPUS for a while now and it kicks ass Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/433372-beta-1-guiair/page/6/#findComment-587207975 Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedom77 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Wow alot of posts here! No, too much blend means your eye can't see inactive captions in your peripheral vision. Bad. You *need* a contrast in colour. aa i think i know what you mean.;) idea for start button.. to maybe make it look like the other tasbar buttons? with start text(kinda like mockup i geuss.

Download & run this remember to wait, and cancel the Windows File Protection Dialogue, reboot. 2. Open the .zip file in WinRAR or the like, and extract the contents to: %WINDIR%\Resources\Themes 3.

Its the only fault i can find, its an excellent theme well worth the wait :D Thanks b0se Thanks. Got a link to that app? Would be impossible to bug test without having it myself. Hotdog: I mentioned that I started to develop the blue theme because I got tired of orange. Now, change the colour of the blue version to orange, with black caption, and its hardly different at all. Don't be blinded by the colour difference. Not going to argue over this because the similarities are blindingly obvious.

MrBear5587 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 if you dont like the way he changed it then dont use it. Simple as that :yes: @hotdog963al; Only constructive critisism is required, b0se is spending alot of his free time doing this. At the end of day the released version of the theme will be what b0se is happy with, and likes. Other people who like it can use it, people who don't, aren't forced to.

KamaL Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Absolutely AWESOME!!! One of the best since a long time now!!! Reminds me of the great VS from Chaninja :D Anyway, I know it has been requested, but the gray bar is really annoying when having the taskbar on the top of the desktop.... It would be great if it could be deleted :whistle: Well done!!!! ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/433372-beta-1-guiair/page/6/#findComment-587208202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
