StarLion Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 New launchy skin to match my Black Glass mod. Just needs a few small tweaks and it'll be finished. The flag in the top corner brings up Launchy's configuration screen, and the close button does indeed work.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 24, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) ^I'm not to happy about the XP part of the text. The rest kinda fits IMO though. But.. I might as well play around with it :p @skelly831 and MajinDark: Thanks! :D @StarLion: You do know that you can't release that right?

StarLion Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 @StarLion: You do know that you can't release that right? Not without your go-ahead, it contains resources from your skin. Out of curiosity, what do you feel needs to be changed (besides the color, I know that)?

StarLion Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 ^The frame is the only thing that bothers me. Exactly what part of the frame are we talking about here? The window frame there is the same one used in your start menu. Also, alternate color versions for Blue and Ergo are nearly done (just need to do the close button): Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/19/#findComment-589506616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 24, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) I meant that the modded frame bothered me. And now the shadow on the icon bothers me :p I'll send you the original icon :) Also, you should use the caption bars in your skin instead of the startpanel's userpanel. As you can see in the caption bars, the right side has a gloss on the darker blue bottom. The start panel doesn't have that because there's a "clean" places list.

clx Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ok, finaly switched on both main pcs from your old black theme to this new one Cap, and i must say its great :) but i do have one small thing i would like to bring up, the colour of a flashing window, say on an msn msg, the orange looks wrong to me, kind of sickly coloured, i feel it would look better as a brighter/stronger orange colour. but then again im no artists so what do i know >.< Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/19/#findComment-589506652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 24, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2008 I've played around with that color and IMO that color fits the dark mood of the theme. The logoff button has the same color but it look different because that's a solid image in the mockup. The flash button the hover button, which is transparent in the mockup, with a color overlay.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 24, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) ^Thanks! :D Here's an updated mockup from the logon screen: I've remade the Key and ? buttons from scratch, they're looking sharper now. I also added the logo in the logon and it looks freally awesome IMO. I also added a selection to the logon which probably won't be in the compiled version. I remember that it causes nasty errors. Tomorrow I'll be starting the progress on Silver/Grey which will probably be named Grey. I wanted to make it an early release but I changed my mind about it. The only difference between Black and Grey will be the frames. So this version is going to take less time then the previous ones.

Cadium Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 ^I'm not to happy about the XP part of the text. The rest kinda fits IMO though. But.. I might as well play around with it :p Try increasing the font size on "XP" by one increment and change it from capital letters to lower case, it should look a little bit better and match the actual Windows XP logo more closely. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/19/#findComment-589506916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 24, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2008 ^Did you seen the updated version? The updated version actually has XP in lower case letters. The only thin that I'm not happy with is the color. It needs to look a bit brighter IMO. @peachey: I thought about that and yeah, I was going to try and make one :D I'm also thinking about using the blue Windows flag for a screensaver based on the default XP screensaver.

murderdoll Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm also thinking about using the blue Windows flag for a screensaver based on the default XP screensaver. I can help you with that if you haven't already started.. just need a psd of the flag and maybe the font to be used. If you're gonna do it then no probs, just thought I'd help :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/19/#findComment-589507162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
