Watercolor Emico


Recommended Posts

I've been hard at work [kinda] on a left-pane shell, and this is what I have so far:

I still want to change the arrow-buttons , and the background color for the entire pane.

looks ok but the blocks are squashed :p

What files would i have to edit in reshacker to make all the corners in this VS rounded instead of pointed?

I looked, but i couldn't find it exactly.

^You'll need to edit the captionbars :) No idea why you would want them to be rounded though.. There's not a single round thing in the hole visual style.

@Tweaker: Thanks! :D

Your welcome! You did some FANTASTIC work on creating these styles. I haven't wanted to mod anything except to add the shellstyle. Love them all!

The blocks in the vertical shellstyle get squashed sometimes, but other times they don't. I'm not sure why the pane expands and shrinks at certain times. I'll try to work that out, anyway.

Is that vista or what ? -,-

What's that winamp widget you're using ? And what app is replacing your quicklaunch ? Neat desktop :)

Nope, that's not Vista, just XP with a lot of work put into it. That's not a "Winamp Widget" in the center of the screen either, that's launchy with a custom skin I made. The app replacing my Quicklaunch is Free Launch Bar.

I'm a big fan of Free Launch Bar, it really extends the functionality of the quicklaunch bar:

Thanks for the clarification :p how did you get your address bar to look like vistas ?

@Capri, Thanks for your hard work again, I'm loving every bit :p

That's QT Address Bar, I'm also using QT Tab Bar in those shots (allows tabbed explorer windows).

@StarLion: What kind of color should the ? button have?

That's a tough one...the default logon screen has it as blue, so maybe go with that.

^Thanks! :D

@Yggdrasilly: Weird :s If it really doesn't work out, then you should use the smallframes.

@StarLion: Guess who's going to make a Launchy skin? :p I was asked to make one by andy_rose.

Thanks :) I still have to mockup all the other parts for the shellstyle but I'm having a break this weekend. I'll be starting the progress for Watercolor Emico: Silver on Monday. I'll probably also be working on the mockups for the shellstyles on Monday. I also worked on a mockup for a logon screen which is taking shape nicely IMO.

If you'd like to keep the orange buttons then I'll advice you not the update. But since you wanted the fixed taskbar you probably have no choice :p

I'll probably release all the toolbar buttons that I've got, in a mod pack, at a later stage.

You could also mod the current version to have the orange buttons.

But before that, let me say the above image is shhheeexxxxyyy :blush:

dunno if you meant to leave them orange but the list view headers are still orange in the black theme. example of what i mean, open a folder in explorer, view->details and hover on the headers are the top of the columns

That's meant to be orange just like on all the previous styles.

I thought about making them blue this morning but that would break consistency. It would also mean that I'd have to change all the hover states to blue :p
