Based upon "NonStep" by JRomo, this VS is my own try with MSSTYLES files.
The approach was to put it as I'd like it to be, I changed colors and some minor bugs I found, but I'm still working on it.

sexy

wow ...that's nice

Nice and minimal

Nice,looking forward to this VS.

I like the colors

better than jromo himself. real good!

Any other color variations? I think some color variations would be sexy..

nice

Thanx everyone. I'm now working on a new font profile as I said. I just wanna find the right one

As for color profiles, that'll take a little more while since every piece of the VS must be changed.
What I'll do first is to fix some bugs, as the "Check Box Background" (see shot) and then change its colors. I think I'll go towards more "blue" shades, what do you think?

Maybe some slate... I don't know. My time's short right now, but let's do something. What colors might suit for a third color profile? (the second would be th blue I just told you about) you tell me...

I might just be stuck with blue/blueish kinda light violet colors. I love them. But I may risk to use an orange (as the original NonStep) or red, why not.

Once again, nice you liked it.

it looks nice even though I don't usually fancy pixel visual styles. for the third color scheme, I'd go for turquoise though blue/gray should look good

Yes... I think that turquoise/reddish color scheme would go...

this font size 9

Ok people, I've found the font I needed.

Thanx finalcut, the font is perfect

If my schedule goes as planned, next week I'll be posting a second candidate.

way to go!!

I'd stick to blues. I'm using this right now and I love it.

that is awsome man. did you make an olive color scheme too? please say you did. I don't have time to install it right now, but when i get home i'm make sure to do so.

not really my thing...the wallpaper looks quite funky though

Whoops

Nope, not this time at least. I'm finishing the reddish style right now, but I still must compile it. I'll take a couple more days. Let's see what happens...

Also I think I'll include a ShellStyle on the second RC.

Another part of the GUI Suite...

FlatLiner LogonXP RC1

A skin for LogonStudio.

its not bad, but somehowo everything just does not click together. cannot tell you what though, sorry
(ok i guess i dont like how the start panel looks in respect to everything else)

Yeah, I think the lines on the start menu borders are a lot wider those on the wallpaper itself maybe. I'll see what I do. Obviously it would be impossible to suit everyone's likes, but I'll do my best to leave it the best I can.

Thank you very much your opinion. It counts a lot, trully

can't wait to see how this turns out.

Have you fixed this yet?

I used to get this problem in my themes from using PSP7 to create my images. It only correctly writes PNG files if there is a layer set at something other than 100% opaque.

What I do is set the layer to be 99% opaque and resave, the image should display correctly then.

Tell you the truth... nope

Visual Styles do not work with PNGs but with BMPs. The way you make images "transparent" is by painting the background in some plain color that you specify on the script. The curious thing is that it works on other instances where "check buttons" are needed, but the one you see on the shot is really a blind spot for me...

I tried but that I couldn't fix. However, some other bugs are ready on the upcoming RC 2. Hope is ready for next saturday. I'll stop giving dates though...
I'd rather stick to a "coming soon"

Looks good, can't wait for this.

RC 2 is almost done... cooked for tomorrow I hope

It includes so far the classic color scheme, a reddish one, another one green colored and two additional Font Profiles. A "hybrid" between the one you knoe and a different font for titles and the popular demanded "large fonts profile". It is not "exactly" a LARGE font profile, it is Verdana sized 7, but a lot more confortable to sight (I hope).

wheeeeee

You can also use transparent PNGs in StyleBuilder. Using them and the method I described above works for me, I just tested it to be sure.

I don't use StyleBuilder except for some tiny details I'm unable to achieve using PE Explorer or other resource management programs.
But if that might fix the bug, I'll give it a try!

Thanx for the tip.

All right people... Look at the first post. RC 2 is now officially released!

Have fun...

omg so cute!
the red one is awsome

Thanx. Sorry I didn't use the font you gave me (except for the preview shot) but it didn't look cute in low sizes.
Anyway, I feel glad you liked the VS

well as I do with all other VS, I modded yours to add my fonts
HandelGotDLig, lucida console and MS reference sans serif

Very nice, i'm using it now.

looks good, i'm using this one right now

nice one, using it too, keep the good work!

nice little mod here. looks great.

Flatliner 1.0 is to be released soon this month. Stay Tuned...

I cant wait, I'm using this VS the day you released RC2 with the 3 colors I think

Uh! thanx! it's nice to hear that!

I'm almost done with the shell style. Some bug fixes (though not all of them) but a final release anyway.

Couple of more days...
