omganinja Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Ubuntu Human inspired visual style for Windows Vista. I don't use Linux at all myself, but I've always loved the look of Ubuntu, clean and simple.

Colin-uk Veteran Posted March 24, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2008 lol, isnt this your clearlooks VS in a different colour? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/627197-human-for-vista/#findComment-589288633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
omganinja Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I made Human first, but yes, Human and Clearlooks are essentially the same thing in different colours. Since Vista's VS doesn't let you have multiple colour schemes I had to release them as different skins, which technically they are anyway.

cpl183 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 looks nice, but the start button is broken if i make the taskbar bigger, and the progressbar flashes white while its running. if those bugs get fixed, i got a new theme for my daily use! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/627197-human-for-vista/#findComment-589295726 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpl183 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) wow, great! that was fast! :D and what a nice startmenu i got! really nice VS! :D €: the problem with the progressbar remains, the "flash" thats running from left to right is making the bar white.

omganinja Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 ?: the problem with the progressbar remains, the "flash" thats running from left to right is making the bar white. Oh, that, another alpha problem, I'll get onto fixing that asap.

ultimate99 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Nice! I applied it and looks good so far, too orangy :p But i feel that the top title bar is a bit thick, or thicker than default theme. Is possible to make it as thin as possible, like it would just fit the min, max, and close buttons?

Is possible to make it as thin as possible, like it would just fit the min, max, and close buttons? Its a cosmetic thing, if i make the titlebar thinner then the bit below it will be thicker, theres no way I can think off (possibly just because I'm tired) that I could make it thinner and not make the bit below it thicker.

fix-this! Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 i never liked that theme even in the real ubuntu. besides if you want the ubuntu look, download it and install the real thing, it's free.

SirEvan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 i have this installed now, and loving it, combined with a wallpaper someone gave me from their desktop in the march 2008 desktop thread, it looks damn sexy. One thing though...on one of the progress bars, the colors are kinda messed up. I'll have to take a screen shot next time i see it, everything else looks great, just the progress bar is weird.

SirEvan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 64 bit yeah... sorry. Vista x64 SP1. It's only this one bar, I'll take a screen shot if i can find it again tonight when I get off work, all the other progress bars are fine. It may be the one when I copy stuff disk to disk, but not sure, as i know the copying to a network device is fine. It's kinda bizarre, the colors are green/orange Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/627197-human-for-vista/#findComment-589308603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEvan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 alright i tested some stuff out, and when i was in photoshop lightroom doing a backup of my catalog it showed on the screen for the backup status, but it went by so quick, like half a second i couldn't get a screen shot...tryed other progress bar-causing actions, such as moving/copying files, in different programs, and haven't gotten it to reproduce again yet...it seems very seldom it happens. I absolutely love this, and will keep checking back for updates, as my desktop is now super sexy :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/627197-human-for-vista/#findComment-589309147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
