CURRENT BUILD: 4.3

Watercolor v4.3 is finally done, I believe that this skin may be one of if not the most bug free skins for Windows XP smile.gif I have squished all of the bugs people have mentiond (as far as my system can show me anyways)

Changelog:
Quote -
4.2:

Watercolor 4.2

4.2.3 (slight "fix" for people who wanted a 3 icon height in the system tray when the taskbar is 2 Heights; also fixed a minor vertical taskbar button bug pointed out by Tim, thanks Tim. All Font sizes: Normal, Large and Extra Large are working again in this build.) :

4.3 Fixes some more bugs and I cleaned up some controls again smile.gif

Watercolor 4.3

Changes from v3.1+ Include:

I believe I have fixed 99% if not 100% of the remaining bugs in this theme (hurray!)

The Skin is now almost Half of it's original size, yet it includes a 4th sub style, due to many optimizations of the skin (should also be faster on most systems).

New radiobuttons - no shadow

No more radio or checkbox bugs (hurray!)

Scrollbar bug mentioned before is fixed

Search Pane has proper skin matching colours

There are now .theme files for every colour version (requested)

There are now Normal, Large and Extra Large Font modes, without warping the theme!

Changed the font on the Frame Caption to Tahoma - the original font used in Whistler build 2419.

*You can always change this back to MS Trebuchet in the Properties - Appearance - Advanced - Active Title Bar

New Ergonomic Colour scheme - Lighter duller more "satisfying to look at" blue thanks to dj_night for the idea smile.gif

4.2+ Changes include:

- optimised a bit more by reducing colours in some files, and also by multiple use of bmp's within each colour variation.

- added a feature? where you can now see date, time and day in the systemtray with only 2 heights of the taskbar.

- cleaned up some controls.

- changed a few controls to better match the original watercolor style.

- Many other minor bug fixes and slight changes/improvements

- 4.3 Fixes some more bugs and I cleaned up some controls again smile.gif



And as always Please feel free to leave me any bug reports (I hope there aren't anymore).

For bug reports you can contact me at: kmkkid at hotmail.com. Please don't add me to your msn contact lists; unless I know you I just block everyone (not to be mean, I just hate MSN bothering me all the time)

Thanks for all the help over the past year ( I forget how long) months smile.gif And I hope you all enjoy it biggrin.gif
