MustNotSleep Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 tooo 3d for mei like flat styles 586209792[/snapback] i don't think it's the 3d-ness of it that bothers me. probably the bulkiness.. it made me think of WindowBlinds.. *shudders* :cry: but you definitelly have a nice visual idea.. nice colors too.. just try to tone it down, and go with a thin taskbar..

Winswy Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 thin taskbar will be included in compact style. i seriously dont know whats bulky about it tho, ..1 pixel borders are as small as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vip Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 everything looks nice, only gripe i have is the start button, maybe thats what people are saying is 'bulky' ... kinda bigger than most flag buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winswy Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 alright, ill slim that down a tad. thx. :) I actually hoped i could build this with the help of the most popular constructive comments, in an attempt to make a VS that was useable and easy on the eye to the majority.

Can't say that about WB themes though. Love the shade of blue you have at the moment, looking forward to seeing the full thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 yeah, it definately has potentional. the problem is that the taskbar is liek 2x the height of my current one. it's gotta be make it a little smaller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweaker Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Looks very good! Personally, I like the new Startbutton. Looking forward to seeing more!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I like it, could you include the original start button as an "Alternate start button"? This may be my new theme :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be my new theme :D 586220588[/snapback] Hey thanks for those super comments..Heres somewhat along the lines of the Start Menu i envisioned. something that would be easy on the eyes but not monotonous. I WILL release the original start button for those of you that preferred it and there will be a version without Logo and leaves, for those of you that like a plain Start Menu. Anyway.. let me know what you all think so far. also shown is compact taskbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winswy Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) I would like to think i have some forward momentum going here. The Screen was taken at 1024 * 768 for the sake of clarity and filesize... Changed quite a few things on start menu and i think im going in the right direction here. I hope to knock this theme out fairly quickly as it is more in the minimal vein than most of my preceding work. It will not be a premium theme on Maxstyles.com, it will be a free release..JUST in case anyone was wondering. Thanks to all of you that support my work. ..oh and the wall seen will be included in final release also and yes.. the screeny is cropped about half way. :D Edited July 17, 2005 by Winswy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
