What do you guys think about these new orange colors?

Looks nice. Unfortunately, I've just upgraded to Windows Vista as I needed it for a bit of work I'm doing so no more Luna Element for me

. Oh well, I guess i just have to wait until something comes my way...

@zeer88: The text color has the same color values as all the other orange text in the VS.

I did have the opportunity to use it for a few days so thank you for that

. My original idea was to stay with Windows XP until SP1 is release or more themes are available for Windows Vista. Unfortunately, I needed to use IIS7 for my work so I had to upgrade to Vista

. A consolation for me is that I have Vista Ultimate and I have already patched it to have maximum transparency. However, I can't get AveDesk to run in Vista so that is really frustrating.

use skinstudio to import the vs into windowblinds. the skin looks great on vista.

@zeer88: You are right btw

The orange need to be brighter. Someone told me that the orange looks to halloween-ish and the person is right

@Scirwode: I'm glad you liked it

Sorry to hear that Avedesk doesnt work. Goodluck with finding a solution for that

The weather and calendar desklets. I'm still trying to figure it out. Also, the desklets does not appear on the desktop even when I select that it be shown as a Normal Window and not in showcase.

Regarding LE Black 5.1
Is there any possibility to get a substyle that the start button would be lit/glittered when pressed instead of being darken/shadowed?

Is it in plan to get substyle for different color than orange subcolor?

Is there any wip for that : (if none is it on the skinning planning?)

TIA!

@Pippin666: I actually began working on skins for that dialog today

It's going to be hard to release it cause it needs some editing in shell32.dll and msgina.dll. So I dont know how I should release it

With Windowblinds you can enhance the skin with antialiased corners etc. And other cool things

I don't think it does. looks like it does on XP for the most part. exceptions are the shell style and the start menu are the vista style. probably can't do much about that until the new version of windowblinds.

I always hated Microsoft and their Orange Zune Style that seems to have got the Orange into popularity. I personally prefer the way the start button is in LE 5.0.5. It's black and blends in to the taskbar, and only when clicked (or hovered over) does it become green. I find it much better than the Orange but that's just my opinion.

If you don't want to change the Orange, maybe just change the start button so that it is Black and only becomes Orange when clicked or hovered over.

Just a suggestion.

I completely agree.. I hate the orange

Download resedit or reshacker, then open the LE theme with it and replace the "TRAYCHEVRONHORIZONTALOPEN" and "TRAYCHEVRONHORIZONTAL" (which are in the Bitmap thingy) with my images, then save.

That's weird, the download pack @ deviantART was correct before I updated it.
I updated the pack again with the new shellstyles

Updates:
- Updated the shellstyle text and arrow colors
- Fixed the useraccount dialog colors in the shellstyle

Thanks in advance

Jun 20 2007, 12:33

Capric0rn, I have a small suggestion... Now that you've included a shellstyle, I think the "search bar" should have same background color...

This has to be modified:

Quote -

[ExplorerBar]
GradientColor1 = 39 39 39
GradientColor2 = 49 49 49

[ExplorerBar.NormalGroupBackground]
FillColor = 241 241 241

You can also change the buttons (NORMALGROUPEXPAND & NORMALGROUPCOLLAPSE). In the screenshot I used these arrows...
