Aerial by DanilloOc


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Well, I was waiting for the man himself to post the release news here, but I think I'll take the reigns on this one...

A few weeks ago, DanilloOc (of iFlex fame) released a screenshot of his new WB, aerial. I've literally been refreshing his DA page ever since then. Today, he released it, and believe me - it's beautiful... the attention to detail, the smoothness, the widgets, the little touches, the distinct lack of aero-ness - I'm in love! Get it at DeviantArt or WinCustomize

I could try an make one for Aerial :)

I also have a few ideas for a Miranda-IM contact list skin :)

The only bad thing I would say about this is that on the full start menu the text colour for the right hand links is a little dark, other than that it's excellent.

My bad, I just rebooted and now the text is white :huh:

Simplicity with the 'Black::GrayBG::White' colour scheme is also a nice fit...

@Alex - I was about to say - then I saw your edit, that the colours on my full start menu are cool...

Has anyone tried to recolour the skin yet?

I'd also like to point out, that this is one of those very rare dark skins which doesnt ruin firefoxes tabs readability.

Pretty DAMN good there my homie, tell him he is like the best at everything especially skinning from me.

I think that skin is well good and I would use it if I could afforD some window blinds action.

Can't believe I missed this when it was released. Looks great. [There was an update on May 31, 2006 fixing some bugs if you all haven't noticed]

I really like your styles. No Vista things but very original and smooth themes. You are getting to the KoL-level! Well done.

BTW, how do I get rid of this annoying line? (see pic)

I already turned off shadow on menu's, but the menu edge does not adapt to the new background.

Hmmm... I dont have that problem... I know it's lame, but a reboot might help.

Also, what does the 'System Information' option say in your WB Configuration window?

Hmmm... did you get the absolute latest version off DA? He has updated it... the only other thing I can think of, if this doesnt work, is to request help from the author.

Did mail him. He did give some tips but suggested to contact Stardock, tips did not work. Maybe it's my graphicscard (GF5200) that doesn't want to.... :no:

I downloaded yesterday from DA, should be the latest...
