Dustin B. Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Current Version 1.0.0 Color Schemes: 1 (for now) Font Choices: Tahoma, Segoe UI, Lucida Grande Extras: System Icons, matching wallpaper, matching cursor set and matching bmp's for the logoff and shutdown panels. There will be a larger, more complete icon package coming later, this is just kind of a preview of the set. A compact start menu is also planned, and maybe some more color schemes.

HawkMan Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It's a very nice theme, now mke a Vista version with transparency and it'll be real crystal. Though as fiting as the name is with the colors and crystal design, I wonder if you know the history of the name crystal night, it might be considered somewhat bad taste by some people, even if it's not meant that way, as I said the name fits very well to the VS' design and colors.

Dustin B. Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I didn't know the history, just looked it up though. Obviously this theme has nothing to do with that, so I'll just let it be. As for a vista version, may be coming as soon as I can afford the vista style builder. I'm pretty poor right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin10018 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Really like it! Very good. And the name fits perfectly. The Reichskristallnacht was 70 years ago. I don't think you should change the name. The extras are also very good. Despite the wallpaper which is somewhat boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin B. Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 eh, changed the name anyway. I might be adding a "day" substyle too :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin10018 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You should change the thread title to the new name... Which color will you use if you make a "day" version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaker Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Fantastic job, Dustin! I'm using it now. Thanks fot all the time, hard work and effort you put into this psckage!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTD Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 "Crystal Night"? Seriously? Interesting choice of a name. Probably inadvertent, but still interesting. It's rather . . . infamous. Nice theme, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin B. Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Incase you haven't noticed, I changed the name within 20 minutes of release. I was just waiting for a mod to change the thread title. I'm sorry if anyone got butt hurt about it :rolleyes: I was trying to keep the wallpaper simple, I really wasn't expecting anyone to use it anyway so if it's boring then eh. The next update will include a compact start menu, slightly thicker title bar, larger caption buttons and possibly some other stuff. To the few that actually like the theme for what it is, thank you very much. I really do appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Dustin, don't be so thin-skinned. The theme as it is is really great. I think I will use it for a long time. I would even pay for it (like I did for 1 or 2 of your themes in the distant past). Your planned changes sound very interesting. Keep up the good work! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadgeek9 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 While it looks cool, no offense, I don't really like the start button. Otherwise, yeah, it looks cool. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suicide_pact Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I really like this one, Krez. It's got flash, but is subdued at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin10018 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) There is a small bug. The 'knobs' on the toolbar grippers look somewhat weird with their light blue right borders. Edited January 10, 2009 by martin10018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin B. Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm still playing around with that, looks odd to me too :p There was also a small transparency bug on the vertical progress bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
