russellc Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Has the shellstyle been updated at any point yet? Or is that coming in an update that has not yet been released?

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 24, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2008 The shellstyle hasn't been updated yet. I was to busy with the Logo and logon that I totally forgot about it :p The shellstyles will be released as an add-on like the logon screen and the screensaver. If I'm going to add it to the skin it would mean that everyone would be forced to use mine while there are different shellstyles released/in the making. I hate do this but once the shellstyles are released I'll be updating all the styles with a new toolbar image. If I'm not going to that the folder windows will look weird without the gray bottom line in the toolbar.

StarLion Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 @Capric0rn: I made the changes you requested to the launchy skin, here are updated shots of Blue and Ergo I would also like to note I have an inbox FULL of people asking for my black glass mod. I can't release the skin without Capric0rn's permission, so send your requests to him.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 24, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2008 Could you send me a PM with all versions and a permission request for the Launchy skins? There won't be permission to release mods, not now not ever. The reasons can be found in the first post in the LE thread. Also, someone at deviantART said that I didn't allow mods because I was afraid that people would make a better version. This is NOT a reason why I'm not allowing mods.

Krokus Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The launchy skins look nice. But I don't use launchy at all. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/20/#findComment-589507781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orgitnized Subscriber¹ Posted June 24, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 24, 2008 Also, someone at deviantART said that I didn't allow mods because I was afraid that people would make a better version. This is NOT a reason why I'm not allowing mods. Uh yeah, that's because whoever said it is probably not the brightest crayon in the box. People can't deal with someone telling them they can't do something so it's no surprise you'd get comments like that. I'm loving the black! I'm ready to deploy it out to new images on the workstations at some of the schools I'm working at! :p I won't do it, but it's so nice to look at; I'm sure people would enjoy it. Once again, great job. You've brought a skin back to life in a major way that puts a smile on faces. If the guy on DeviantArt doesn't see that for what it's worth, then who cares.

StarLion Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 @Capric0rn: PM sent. I'm up for making additional color variations to match your skins as you release them, if you approve :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/20/#findComment-589507985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 25, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hmm.. while I was looking at my logon mockup I thought about maybe changing "Windows" to "Whistler". What are the opinions from you guys about that? At first I didn't want to change the OS name, but I think it would be a neat idea to change that part in the logo Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/20/#findComment-589509298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom7000 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I've always prefered Windows XP to Windows Whistler, that's my opinion. Why not do both? Can't wait to see you're login, I'm currently using em3's Luna Element Blue Login screen.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 25, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2008 I meant Microsoft Whistler XP instead of Microsoft Windows XP. It's a different name then the Whistler builds since those where indeed called Microsoft Windows Whistler. So I'll just keep it the way as it is now.

Krokus Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I vote for the original text. Microsoft Windows XP :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/20/#findComment-589509802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 25, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2008 ^I'm also going for the original text but I just had to put that idea out there :p Also, here's an update mockup from the shellstyles: When one of the sections on the left pane is closed the arrow will turn orange. Also, the blue arrows will be flipped horizontal in the compiled shellstyle. There's some text missing in the right pane because I don't know what the rest of that text says. I don't have an English Windows to check it. Any one with ideas for the shellstyle? I think that it's pretty much done the way it is now. I want to keep the shellstyle simple and not to distracting.

Krokus Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't think there is a need to add more. It looks perfect teh way it is now. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/20/#findComment-589510179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 25, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't think that there should be something added either. I think that this shellstyle is perfect for Watercolor Emico. I know that someone wanted to see the shellstyle inside a window so I made a mockup with a frame and a desktop: The sidebar isn't to distracting while working in a folder and the "My Computer" icon is also still noticeable with the white background. This will be the final look for the shellstyle :) Also, I know that there's English and Dutch in the mockup. But hey.. it's a mockup so that doesn't really mather right? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/20/#findComment-589510211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom7000 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It's nice for the minimilistic look, but how about a bit more colour in the shellstyle? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/20/#findComment-589510246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted June 25, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) ^I made it white, grey, blue and green on purpose so that it doesn't distract to much while working in a folder. I tried a blue gradient in the sidebar but it instantly made me think about Luna. IMO the shellstyle for Watercolor Emico should be simple and elegant. I think that I achieved that pretty good. I also wouldn't know which colors I should add and where. @russellc: I still have to make it an actual shellstyle :p Edited June 25, 2008 by Capric0rn Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/20/#findComment-589510271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
