1.6


Click here for download.

A smooth visual style with neutral un-obtrustive colours. Cinnamon, Light Steel Blue and Slate. Enjoy. A few 'fixes' here too. Please tell me what you think!

My first ever VS, so please comment and critique and praise if you like too . No shellstyle here because I like the look of it with the clean default one. Included is the wallpaper in the screenshot and a variation.

And a plug for Neoshooter ( [link] ). Simply the best screenshot app. Free as well.

STOP PRESS : Now at version 1.6!

New in 1.6
- Superior Start Menu
- Various fixes

Tell me what you think Bug reports too please.

nice.

Absolutely marvellous, i've been looking for a theme like this.
Top jobby.

Very nice and clean VS

what program did you use to roll notepad up like that?

cool

nicely done....

very nice. any plans for different colour themes? blue or gray might be nice

Looks good, diggin the colors. Only thing I think it needs is a darker brown 1 pixel border around the gradients for the Title Bars and Task Bar. Good job.

beautiful, i loved this

Not a real big fan of the colour but still great work nonetheless

sorry i dont like it

too plain , and no definition on anything.

Clean, smooth, easy on the eyes, and very usable. Thanks and keep up the good work.

it is very clean and easy on the eyes. doesnt stand out too much, and i like that. i would use it if you made it in different colors because that color doesnt really go with anything on my system...

it is pleasing to the eye, good job

Trying to reply to everyone...


Thanks. Still unsure about the borders, i'll probably try it out and see how it looks later.


Winroll...google around, first result.


Thanks, not sure about colours, because of the way the theme is (most elements are coloured) it looks strange coloured. As I said before though, i'll have a look and see what I can do, the background colour for windows would end up grey if I do it though.

And thanks everyone else for the positive comments

Nice

Yeah Top Jobby it is.

thnx! winroll is a sweet! Only think I don't like about the VS is the colour. a blue or green or grey version would get me to DL it.

Nice one Xan

Nice VS nice work

Its coming...later today...i'm almost done. Both a blue and grey theme. They look mighty nice too.

Its 2.30AM here btw...so it might be after I wake up.

New colourschemes are done, 1st post updated with new preview shot.

What ya'll think?

Can a mod change the title to add a 1.5?

nice work Xan, and nice update too, ill download it now after u added the blue theme

a black theme! ahhh!!! hotnesss!!!!

me + this theme =

Nice blue! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more of your fine work.

Nice VS

Now at version 1.6 - Better Start Menu, lots of fixes.

First post updated too. Any bugs?

People who downloaded it when I first posted - redownload, DA screwed up and left the old version up, when I posted the new one Sorry.

:w00t: ... Excellent job... I like it..

very nice i love slate - so clean and simple.

Is there a winamp skin for this VS?

very nice very clean

Yes, a winamp skin would be nice.

after a days use i am still very impressed. i think i just got bored of fancy vs and needed something more practical.
no bottons on inactive taskbar makes perfect sence.

now what are the chances of more colours and wimamp skin??

Still no news on a winamp or what not?

still no news. know anyone who can make one?

More colours...not to sure there are any 'Neutral' colours left

And about a Winamp skin, unfortunately I know not of howto skin winamp. However, if someone would make one it'd be cool .

I did make a Cinnamon colourscheme for Classix_Player though.

Someone please make the WA skin. :\

Which icon set(s) is/are recommended for this VS? Please post links to suitable IconPackager font themes.

This is nice, using it for a few days.

Hmm, this theme is not receiving as much rave as I thought it would. A Winamp skin would be nice. :\

Duude ... this rocks, I'm totally loving it!

I'm definitely a sucker for very compact themes, and yours is definitely one of my new favorites... *already, it's only been 2 min since I applied it, lol*

One small thing- the dropdown arrows don't seem to match the theme very well... or for that matter that hide/unhide button for the taskbar. I think the dropdown needs to be smaller (maybe just one arrow instead of two), and then the hide/unhide button could be white instead. I'm still using the theme anyways (the steel blue version), I just thought I'd mention it.

any chance at a shell style?

i've been using it for ages now it rocks

cmon someone here can do it.

DO IT !!!

No luck.

meh. for some reason this vs just did not get the feedback i expected. i know there are plenty of simple styles out there but this one just seemed more whole and less average then the others. i hope more ppl will notice it so we get winamp skin quicker.

BUMP

Hi!
Very nice theme!
One question though (also seen on other themes):
It is not possible to override the colors of the inactive titlebar and I guess to remember that in the past it was possible.

I want to have it like that (see on top), because for me the darker brown for inactive windows is "not so pretty".

I tried some other themes and there it´s also not possible but I´m sure I have done it earlier while I start to use themes.
Is this function of windows broken, depends it on hardcoding or have I to use stylebuilder for that?
Even 3DCC doesn´t work on that issue and what is funny: TotalCommander understands my new settings and give me the light brown in inactive panel.

???

Tombik

If i'm reading you right, you want light brown for a inactive classic caption bar? I'm quite confused here, so if you (or anyone) could explain this more, it'd be a great help.

awesome theme I really love it.
