Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 6, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 6, 2008 How abut this one? I think it fits better: IMO it looks more like the original Watercolor toolbar buttons but updated for this style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virgo89 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Anyone willing to make a matching Launchy skin? Not sure what Launchy is, but I use True Launch Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yggdrasilly Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 @Yggdrasilly: The Visual Styles uses magic pink up there. Maybe Windowblinds wants to have that totally transparent. Oh.. and fix those caption buttons :rofl: Thanks, I'll check that out. :3 Also, what's wrong with the caption buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 6, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 6, 2008 ^You made the captionbar darker or transparent which makes the caption buttons look weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SakuraKira Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It's nearly 100% perfect. However, I did find that I had to mess with the small captions again. Unfortunately, Adobe Photoshop and Imageready are the only programs I have that use those types of frames. I was able to finally get them aligned using the following method... 1. I noticed that the SmallClose button looked perfect, so I opened that up and used it as a template to align the rest of the buttons. 2. After I did that, I noticed that while min/max/restore looked great, they were still 1px off of SmallClose. So, I opened that up again and lowered the button images by 1px. Here you can see that the individual button alignment looks great, except that they are not aligned with the gloss line, which IMO is considerably less important that the buttons lining up with each other. As I mentioned above, I can only go by the small frames used in Photoshop, so I don't know how they look elsewhere. Here are the individual edited images, if you should wish to use them. we_sml_caps.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 7, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) ^Changing the smallclose button like that makes other palets look weird. Thanks for the help though! I'll look into it one more time. @The rest: Thanks! All these positive reactions are really a motivation boost :D @Spartan Erik: Did you register only to say that? :p Edited June 7, 2008 by Capric0rn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchmalibu Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I really like how the old school feeling blends in perfectly with the refreshing, slightly glossy style of most modern vs. A true gem that I'll be sure to keep on my hd for quite some time.
