stormfrog Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Well... wad' to say besides GREAT!? :) I have been running Bluuna and was looking around for something more "clear" that has an edge to it and this skin kinda just fell onto my lap. I like it alot! It has a very professional feel to it. Funny how ppl are so bad at reading OP that they go through all teh trouble of screenshooting and posting a bug here... which OP already mentioned :} *giggles*.

daydream nation Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I hate to be the Simon Cowel of visual styles, but b0se, this isn't your best work. I like the overall style, but it has it's roughness. I'm glad to see you switching it up a little, but it should be a little more refined. Hopefully we'll see some improvements in the next version. +1 I couldn't agree more... I know it is a beta, but the fact is we have no idea what will change in the final and what will stay. Perhaps we're all a little spoiled by the first mockup/teaser that was shown, but that looked a lot smoother IMHO. Maybe some of the other colours will change my mind though. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/433372-beta-1-guiair/page/16/#findComment-587272940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jexel Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 "It's a beta" isn't an excuse, it's a fact. i think everybody is aware of the fact that its a beta, but you(plural) don't have to shove it into somebody's face everytime a criticism is made. Criticisms should be more important than praises and I as being a small time programmer welcome critcisms as it allows me to excel further in what I do.

invhntr Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 i think everybody is aware of the fact that its a beta, but you(plural) don't have to shove it into somebody's face everytime a criticism is made. Criticisms should be more important than praises and I as being a small time programmer welcome critcisms as it allows me to excel further in what I do. Then make criticisms. All anyone is doing so far is complaining. Be specific -- what precisely don't you like and why?

matt0 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Who cares, when the VS is done it'll be practically bugless, cos b0se is good like that. That's all that really matters. If you don't like an element either mod it yourself or find another VS to use.

spyglass Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thought id take a peek into whats going on in windows themeing again (been using suse for last few months)...i always rem bose as one of the top designers,but this beta left me disappointed...i could look past the beta bugs (and there many) but the overall design just didn't seem to come togeather...perhaps bose is just testing some ideas with this one (interesting task bar widgets) so ill hope for better things to come,till then ill have to pass...

stormfrog Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Is there a compact version? (damn, I cant believe neowin does not has a thread search function (unless I am blind), its near impossible to traverse huge threads like this to look for specific details in a post of this size).

Kraftman Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 It would be perfect (I'm not at all nitpicky) but I can't stand Luna progress bars. Ugh. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/433372-beta-1-guiair/page/16/#findComment-587284352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 b0se, I don't know if you remember me (Couch Potato?) but all I can say that this is yet another perfect and fantastic theme of yours!

idleboneZ Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 nice work as always b0se, been waiting for your work since XPMC RC3 was released last summer. I have to admit that codename opus 3.0 is my favorite theme ever, even now that I use windows blinds 5. Codename Opus 3.0 and Dreamland must be my favorite skins ever along with some classics from bant. I was honestly hoping that maybe we would sometime see an updated transparent version of Codename Opus 3.0 for WB5 but this will have to do for now :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/433372-beta-1-guiair/page/16/#findComment-587299825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like an element either mod it yourself or find another VS to use. I disagree. Because b0se is pressed for time, and based on history, he tends to leave a lot of bugs in themes.
