Well heres pop! It's soft, it's light and it's minimulist and I really don't know
just how this thing turned out because my monitor is ready for trash heap

Be sure to check out the readme file to get the most from your pop!

A big thanks to whist3r, for the insperation as well Playboy, for his Shellstyle
tutorial.

pop here

Comments, complaints?

With that said enjoy...Now I'm off to finish Post Modern if my monitor will
let me

booootiful
very unique, been waiting for this to be released
great work grayhouse

Nice looking.

Isnt too whiteish which is good for the eyes.

Good work.

Beautiful style! Easy on the eyes, good job!

I think the start menu is a little too narrow though. Found a small bug with checkboxes...

Damn, that's pretty nice!, what icons are those?

Hmm. I haven't got that problem. What program is that showing up in? Did you try
closing out and reopening the program? Sometimes that helps. OK, I did just find a
problem with the slider though. Looks like a sizing margin issue. I'll get on it.

As for the startmenus the're sub-compacts. Better fuel economy. These are lean times

very nice. can you incldue a link to the icons?

very nice VS, i like the minimal look

Excellent work as always grayhouse.

it looks lot like jap04

whist3r? I cant believe I mespelled your name again. You see you corrected me
that one time and now I'm so self contsiece <sp> of it that I'ts inevedible that I
misspell it every time.

OK, I think I've got it out of my system now, but I make no promices

Well, his work was the insperation as (I) did say, but the only real relation between
the two themes are the use of text for the inactive caption bar buttons. Thats it! You
will find nothing else that has any direct bearing on Japan 04, or any similarity. And
remember we'er talking the style it's self not the presentation, meaning the color of
the wallpaper wich will thow you alot.

Thanks You can find the links to the icons at my DA page here
Just click on my gallery.

Hey, I got two Neowin stars now

Program was AIM, I've restarted it, but it still does it. I've seen the pink throughout the computer too.

I just think the start menu is too narrow because a lot of the names of programs get cut off if you don't rename it like you have done.

looking quite nice, gonna give it a try..

thats really nice. congrats on finishing it

I don't know what to tell ya, D. I'm curious to see if anybody else comes up with the same
problem because thats not good, not good at all I'll disect the buttons and see what I can
come up with.

I noticed the pink too, but this VS is toooooo sweet. Currently the VS of choice for me...thanks for releasing it!!!!!

Awesome.... the only word I can come up with.

I dont think it looks like Japan 04. I just switched from Japan to this one, and the only thing that reminds me of Japan is the brown touch in the 1BT or 1TT start menu. The bar is a different color, and the min, max and close buttons are different. I like both of them, I will probably switch between the two for a while. They both are awesome Visual Styles. Good work to both of you.

great VS anyone know of a good WP to go with this, i dont have any in my collection that goes well with this one, thank in advance for any suggestions...

Nice!
Using right now!

wow! i'm really impressed with this one.

Try this one. It seems to work pretty well. I can't remember where I got it from.
All I did was change the colors a bit. I did a few walls for this style, but I think
there probally a little to minimulist for alot of you so I'll work on some others.

I like your style but I find this a bit too monochromatic. I think that increases in contrast will make this more interesting, try add different colors to elements of the theme.

Just my 2 cents

I like it, nice style but very unusable to me because of the small size of the fonts.
I can't use it cause I can't see the text in this style, but nice anyway.

The readme included in the style explains all there is to know. Simply increase the size
of the fonts in Display Properties and you'll have the exact same style font only with
a choice of 8 or 9pts. Also make sure you have "smooth edges of screen fonts" checked
in "Display Properties > Effects" Otherwise this font will look less then stellar.

Looks very nice, thank you

How do you get rid of these big menus?

neato, downloading right now

Very nice work

very clean and easy on eyes, thanx for sharing

very very nice, good work

theres a couple of bugs though,

shellstyle only works for the first theme variation on my pc.

and there is a problem with check boxes (pink outline) : go to tools -> folder options -> view

Pretty good, ill try it out

I do seem to have problem when viewing the checkboxes in folder options, but as you
can see mine are black not pink But this is good because now that I am
experienceing the problem I can fix the problem. I should have an update ready
sometime tonight, so be sure and check back

As for the shell, I'm not experienceing that problem. It works all the variations of the
theme on my end. What way are you applying the shell? Is anybody else experiencing
this problem with the shell?

looks like this on mine but i bet the bugs just the same thing



i noticed under the "shell" folder for the theme there is only a folder called "normalcolor"

i believe there should be 3 folders, one for each substyle??? its like this with other themes i have

good work

I don't know why your menus are doing that. It looks like your running the style
with large fonts. I just tried large fonts and it still doesn't do that so I don't know
what to tell you. The menu should have split into multple panes. Hell, what you got
is what win98 used to do

One thing I did notice is that your running your taskbar at the bottom. If you're gonna
do that it's very important that you choose one of the style variations that ends in the
extention "BT" for bottom taskbar. TT for top, BT for bottom. Thats why your arrow
is pointing down instead of up and your lines across the taskbar arn't lining up.

Does anybody ever bother reading the readme's. My next style I'm not gonna
include one. Why bother....

edit: ops i did answer the wrong post..

yes iagree!



anyways, looks good...but i like the japan vs more

I put it on bottom taskbar on the smallest fonts and the menu is still huge.

very nice and simple. i just don't like fonts so small... must preserve the eyes.

Yeah, the fonts are small as hell, especially in the adress bar, but I'm trying it out anyway.
I also get the pink border.

Hopefully we'll get that update to fix some of these problems .

Download the style and read the "readme' If you have already downloaded
the style READ the "readme" where I explain the choices regaurding the said
issue. Or simply just read the thread here where I have allready covered this.

This is the last time boys and girls.....

The problem has been corrected along with the shell trouble. I'll upload the
update sometime tonight.

I love this style, but is it possible to get a non compact version? I like my start bar to be full sized.

He's not alone...any chance of a full size start menu???

whistl3r, if your out there please chime in and bring us a sence of sanity.

Graet job grayhouse. Lovely work on this style. You have a great talent!

any chance that you would change the max/min/close buttons to not say pop. i think it could be really cool without that. just my two cents. theme looks great all around though. anyone planning a winamp skin?

nice & simple....love it.
