Watercolor Emico


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Feel free to make one :) Starlion told me he was working on a Winamp skin but I haven't heard from him since he told me that.

^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!

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.

Watercolor Emico: Tango Startbuttons

To 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?

^I'm sorry, but I don't seem to have those startbuttons anymore. Maybe someone else still has them?

@UssjTrunks: Dream on :p

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: 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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
