jimbo11883 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) ClassicX is a simple, minimalistic visual style for Windows XP. The style is a mix of Microsoft's Professional Visual Style (Watercolor), Windows Classic, and Office XP/2003.

topher1078 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Like the start menu, but don't really think it fits in with the rest of the theme - might want to tweak either it or the colors of the bars and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nuroticat Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Ba da ba ba baaaa..... I'M LOVIN' IT! :p Very nice, thanks for sharing this. I do agree with chrisa, however. The start menu doesn't blend as well as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors are staying as is, because I wanted to use the windows classic color scheme for this. If anyone has a good idea for the start panel please tell me, because what you see here is all I could come up with so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher1078 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I think a start for the start panel (haha I made a joke) might be to square the corners to match the theme of the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has a good idea for the start panel please tell me, because what you see here is all I could come up with so far. The colors are fine, it's the rounded shape of the start menu that makes it stand out mostly. IMO it should have the same square look as the active title bars. Also, you might want to give it a bit of a darker blue outline, to make it blend in even more with everything else. Seriously though, you've got a great theme here. It fills the gap that the GotOffice theme left, though GotOffice was never as nice as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nuroticat Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) I'm not sure this qualifies as a bug, just something that's a little unpleasing to my eye. I use True Launch Bar, and with ClassicX, I notice that my taskbar menus become very squished together. Is there any way you can fix this? This won't prevent me from using the theme or anything, I actually kinda like the way my TLB looks because the menus take up less screen space...but I think there needs to be at least a small gap between the icons/text. TLB Menu using Watercolor Lite (normal) TLB Menu using ClassicX I realize that I may be able to change something on my side to make the menu gaps wider, but I can't seem to figure anything out after fiddling with the True Launch Bar settings. Any help from fellow TLB users would be appreciated. Edited June 10, 2004 by Nuroticat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo11883 Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 Nuroticat, try the new version I've just uploaded. It should fix the bug with TLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien_Old Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 i'm liking it so far. i had to convert it to windowblinds format with skinstudio to use it since i don't use msstyle file anymore. nice, clean, and simple. i think it's very usable.
