- text is closer to the margins, in both the taskbar and start menu now.

- highly optimised, still some more to go.

Can we see those in the regular verion? pinch.gif

some people may experience difficulties with this version because of numerous 'workarounds' I have done, higher screen resolutions may cause bugs, I'll have to wait and see what people say after I release it.

Chris
Tran
Ah I see you where you are going with this. Problems because their res might be too big or too small etc. If that's not what you mean than... but I understand. My screen res is 1024x768 so I hope that is good enough.

It's finished, I'll just have to wait till Alex puts his server up again, and I will also call my ISP tomorrow. Plus I need a break! wink.gif

Only few more hours, then everything will be fine and stability beyond dreams from then on out.

i love the slim taskbar one. i done like thin taskbars bc they are too thin, but this seems lie k a perfect size.
what u shoulddo is keep the two the same but when it comes time for a release just changed make a new theme and just change the taskbar in it so everytihn is the same but taskbar with around same amount of work. if that made ne sencse

i can host. no problem. i can be the main server if you want it to be. fast. reliable. etc.

Thank god! I just downloaded it from the main server just a few minutes ago! Oh yes, another suggestion. I don't know if I already mentioned this but I wonder if it would alright if you can add a bit of color to the taskbar to match the color of the visual style?

yeah i agree. would be cool with a blue taskbar for the blue scheme etc.

Guys, i love the theme, downloaded it, installed it etc... but it doesnt work... i get the classic windows interface...
Im new to themes etc in windows so can anyone tell me if i need to tweak any files or other?

Kind regards,
Raptor

I believe you'll need the uxtheme.dll patch. There are links for the patch in the Customizing Windows XP forum right at the top.

Binary,

Will the new version update Ergonomic to use Tahoma as the font on buttons (like Blue)?

use patchxp (attached)

Just click Patch, If windows complains click yes to keep unrecongized files and restart

then choose the theme you want smile.gif

Does anyone else have problems resizing midi windows in Photoshop and other applications with this Visual Style? If I change the style while the app is open, it works fine, but if I open the app after the style has been changed, all I can resize is the height.....

I'll be fixing that. And yes watercolor lite has fixed that issue.

This has ben mentioned many times throughout the thread. You can resize by using the left hand side of the window,or the very upper right corner of the window (once the window is more than 125 pixels large you can resize anywhere ). I might be fixing this issue, but the fix might make the theme look wierd.

Thanks for the reply, I'm sure you can appreciate not reading through all 42 odd pages!

Perhaps a new thread is in order... :-D

there have been a lot of dead threads brought up lately... it's as if people are not smart enough to go to a dedicated theme site and search or ask there. why bother doing that much work when they can just post "the link doesn't work boo hoo".

Has somebody a link to Watercolor 4.3?

Thanks in advance, neogen
murderdoll

Thats the new 4.3!!
Dazzla
Hmm, that's not quite it, that's been modified quite a bit. I'll keep looking on Backup CDs. In fact that's definitely not it, it has a "Gray" option, which is a hacked up black version. And there's no Olive in there.
EdxNyC
what's newer 4.3 or watercolor lite 2.1.1?
Dazzla
I've just received Watercolor 4.3 and Watercolor Lite 2.11 from Binary, I've uploaded them and edited the first post.

Enjoy happy.gif

Lite has a thinner taskbar if I recall correctly.
