+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted June 4, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted June 4, 2008 Great job! I can't wait for the other colours, ergonomic blue in particular. looks cool but i dont get the fuss about it You may or may not remember how Binary's Watercolor visual style pretty much started the whole XP skinning scene. Capric0rn's style is an amazing rendition of Watercolor. That is what the fuss is about.

valderrama Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 thx, nearly perfect theme. :laugh: now we need a miranda skin and a logon screen. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/2/#findComment-589455902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 4, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2008 ^First I'm going to finish the visual styles. Then I'm going to work on application skins. So yeah.. Miranda-IM will get a skin. @The rest: Thanks again for all the positive comments :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/2/#findComment-589455904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Man.. I use Vista.. :( I'd love a black version of this with transparency. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/2/#findComment-589455909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroday Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Would love to use it, but I use WB. Any chance of it as a WB format? ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/2/#findComment-589455960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This looks great! Good stuff (Y) And I wouldn't say the multi-row taskbar looks bad, I think it looks just fine. Especially with enough windows open to fill it. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/2/#findComment-589455981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted June 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2008 Awesome - I love it! :woot: :wub: I only wish I was using Windows XP on my main machine. I think I may have install Windows XP in a virtual PC (again), haha!

ring0 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 excellent. any chance of even a tiny preview of what the ergo blue will look like? even if it's a 1/4" wide slice of the taskbar? :D <- ocd about having themes/walls/app skins that match Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/2/#findComment-589456187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted June 4, 2008 Supervisor Share Posted June 4, 2008 :x :x Shouldn't be let near Vista, let it show off its beauty on XP..... If it were turned into a Vista theme, it would be one of...one that I would consider using over the default Aero. Anyway, explain how a Vista port would detract from your enjoyment of the theme.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 4, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) ^Not going to post screenshots of it. I want to keep the other styles a surprise. The people in the Neowin chat have seen them and I received positive reactions about it :) @magik: Multi-row taskbars with modern don't look as nice as in classic ;) To the Vista users: I don't have Vista nor do I plan to install it anytime soon. I'm not going to allow ports to Vista either since I want this skin to be XP only. To the WB users: I'm not going to make a WB version of this skin anytime soon. I can't promise if I'm going to make one or not either.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 4, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2008 ^Lol. You can port it yourself to Vista but I only give permission to release it if it's REALLY well made. I've seen a few ports from XP skins which I didn't really like.

ring0 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 y'know... the bright blue matches my desktop better than i was expecting. brilliantly done, lad. black should be sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick too. can't wait. this theme has made me love .msstyles again - the flood of vista-like and flat white/black themes was killing me.

Lee G. Veteran Posted June 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2008 I completely understand why Capric0rn would want to keep it Windows XP only. I mean, I assume it's easy(ish) to port the theme to Windowblinds, but most XP msstyle ports I've seen (from screenshots) look pretty sloppy. <- ocd about having themes/walls/app skins that match So you're not the only one :p Haha!

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 4, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2008 ^You guys have no idea bout how complete I want to make it :p When all the color styles are done I'm going to make shellstyles, after that I'm going to work on some matching login screens. Jim-Phelps told me that he wanted to make Winamp skins for it but I haven't heard from him yet. Maybe I might start making Winamp skins around that time You guys can also make Emico skins for other apps as long as you send me a PM or an email for permission with a screenshot of the skin.

NEVER85 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Wow! I'm happily using Vista but with a theme like this, I'd be willing to put up with XP again.

murderdoll Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 @Capri, is there a chance you'll release a grey/classic-like color style ( like the original watercolor vs ) ?
