tehmemories Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Capric0rn's already spoken ad nauseum about how and why the Vista port would not have Aero/DWM capibilities. He has his own vision for a Vista version of Emico. I know that he has his own vision for what he wants it to look like. I just think that the it would look pretty nice if it has some sort or transparency.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 4, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted January 4, 2009 But the person that made the mod had no permission to edit the theme in such a way. It had to be a perfect XP to Vista port so he couldn't add Aero stuff to it at all.

?AK Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 ^Yep. There's probably going to be a Vista version around the time that I've got Vista on my PC. Then there will be a "real" Vista version with Aero features. You made my day! :p I can't wait!

Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 17, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted January 17, 2009 No problem :p I did say "probably" so nothings certain yet. Maybe I want to begin something totally new at the time that I've got Vista or even Windows 7.

Punio4 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Watercolor Emico: Tango StartbuttonsTo replace the original Emico startbutton with the Tango startbutton you'll have to use Resedit or Stylebuilder. The pack only contains startbuttons for the Modern styles. I'm not going to make Tango startbuttons for the Classic style. Personally I think that the icon only fits with the black styles. Could you please reupload these? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/45/#findComment-590474916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 24, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted January 24, 2009 ^I'm sorry, but I don't seem to have those startbuttons anymore. Maybe someone else still has them? @UssjTrunks: Dream on :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/45/#findComment-590474964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarLion Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sorry guys, Winamp skin isn't happening unless this theme gets a proper port to Vista (the current one isn't something I would want to use, sorry). All my PCs run Vista now, so there's really no drive for me unless that happens.

Spartan Erik Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Now that you mention it, is there any tut out there to show how to use ResEdit/StyleBuilder to change the current start button to the Tango one?

Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 27, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted January 27, 2009 @Spartan Erik: Open up the file in ResEdit. Then go to "X:\Program Files\TGTSoft\ResEdit\Temp" where X is the drive where you installed ResEdit too. Then go to the folder with the substyle from the visual style that you want to change. After that you can replace the startbutton image with the custom startbutton image :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/45/#findComment-590489784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 30, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2009 Nope. I don't even have Vista yet. Also, I said "probably" so I could even decide to not make an Vista version from Emico. Maybe I want to create a totally new visual style for Vista. Also, I'm not gonna start a visual style for a different OS when BlueSE and BlackSE aren't even done yet for XP. Both BlueSE and BlackSE are going to be XP only btw.

Punio4 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hm. Got pretty used to SegoeUI in Vista/Win7. Could you please add SegoeUI as an option? Changing values in the advanced dialog doesn't change all the icons.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 31, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2009 Well, I dont really like that font. I'm using it in the Start button image and that's the only place where I actually like it. Tahoma looks a lot better in BlueSE. If you wanted to have it in Emico, then also no. Emico has been finished since I released Olive. There are only going to be shellstyles and bugfixes.

tehmemories Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 @tehmemories: The red taskbar isn't a mod. It's the black version of my new Watercolor theme :) When's the release date?

Jamushroom Veteran Posted February 2, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've said this many times before but I'll say it again :p I can't set a release date. I haven't worked on it since last Sunday due to personal reasons. Also, there's still stuff left to do for me. It's hard to set a release date for stuff that has to do with designs etc. It takes time to mock stuff up and be happy with the designs which are created. Like for instance, the scrollbars; I've mocked those up many times, tried different designs and I still wasn't happy untill last weekend. Now I'm trying to figure out how I want the arrows to look. I'm also working on tweaks for the frame to give it more contrast and a less blurred out look. I'm also not happy with the current set of buttons which I'm using. It's an updated set off the Emico series and I don't think they fit with the new style. And since SE isn't Emico I need to design a new set of buttons, which isn't easy since all the things that one can do with the buttons have already been done numerous of times. So I'm still figuring out this as well. Also, BlackSE isn't being worked on yet. I'm going to work on that once BlueSE is done :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641236-watercolor-emico/page/45/#findComment-590516382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
