jest I didn't mean to scare anybody hehe. I absolutely without a doubt want everyones opinions and suggestions. Please don't let what I said stop you or anyone else from telling us what you want.

I just didn't want you guys to think that I hated the line, in some cases I love it, just not with the newer Classix wallpapers. I mean, you saw what I did to the start menu, I tweak things like that all the time.

I only said what I did because I've said a few things as of late that came out the wrong way. Didn't want to give anyone the wrong idea.

please post shell32 files..

lol

Are you sure Shell32? Shell32 contains icons, bmps and such and for the most part they're over 8 megs of space. Anyway, if you follow, just make you're own shell32. I use MicroAngelo's Librarian to change the stuff.

I say the best way to get rid of the line is get rid of the first part, and the whiteish part, and just leave the top part of the line and make the color fill the rest. I did that when the first version with the SD came out. Didn't do too good of a job though.

Is this a bug in the theme? When the taskbar is at the top, selected items seem to be not centered whereas when it is on the bottom it's perfect. Is there a way to fix this?

It's a bug that SD fixed in his version. The coolest thing to do would just be to extend the height of the entry so it would just fit in the taskbar with no top and bottom borders on each entry. I did it before StyleBuilder ran out on its evaluation.

For those of you wanting to make the taskbar have the flat/smooth appearance (non-lined) then, and this only applies to Reshacker or another resource editor, follow these directions:

1. Open the msstyles file in your resource editor (Reshacker for me).

2. Navigate to the "Bitmap" > "COLOR_TASKBARBACKGROUND" (or "COLOR_TASKBARBACKGROUND2" for a top-docked taskbar) node, where "COLOR" is the particular color you want to change (for example, "GREENSD").

3. Expand the node so that the resource is shown (should be something like "1033"), select the resource node. In Reshacker the image will appear in the right-hand pane.

4. In Reshacker go to the "Action" menu and select "Replace Bitmap ...".

5. After you done replacing the bitmap resource you will need to save the file and then reload the visual style.

I've attached a copy of the modification I did on the GreenSD style for the taskbar. I hope this helps out a little. Obviously you will need to edit the bitmap so it works with whichever style taskbar you are using, but this is easy to do in just Paint.

Thanks jest Somebody should add that to the FAQ they were making.

MookoTheKing: I'll look into changing that for the next update.

didn't i read something about a luna version of classix?

Yeah, however I think that someone was waiting till that other someone got that other someone to get a website up.

@Snively, hadn't anything about that... might be interesting though...

The scary thing is that actually made sense to me.

A couple of people have asked for a wb port too, hmm :rubs goatee:

If you did it you'd only need one color scheme and custom color support included. Might want to team up with a Windowblinds skin guru though, I know I couldn't get custom coloring working right when I was playing with Skin Studio.

Nothing to do with the theme itself , it's great and all, but the download links you provide don't work with phoenix. You forced me to run IE again!

They work, just select the Save link target as... option

Thanks for the tip, I'm kinda new with Phoenix...

Yea, Phoenix handles some downloads strangely. I'm finally using Phoenix again (IE was a ****er; no pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing! ).

Its the gecko rendering engine in fact, mozilla 1.4a stills have that problem too

The problem with Pheonix (and indeed even Mozilla in some cases) is that by default it doesn't know how to handle RAR files. In Mozilla I had to create a MIME handler to get it to work correctly (prompting me to open or save). An interesting aside, if you get a giberish page after trying to use one of those links, you can save the page as a RAR and all will be good.

Yeah, I'm gonna stick with Phoenix... I think it's waaay better I just have to get used to some of the differences...

Don't forget you can save the old bitmap in Reshacker to edit it faster instead of creating a whole new one with maybe wrong colors or otherwise.

i love phoenix too. IE doesnt use mime types because it goes on file extensions

that winamp skin might make me go back to winamp from foobar2k

Yea. IE ties in with explorer so it looks at the Folder Options and sees how it should handle a certain file by its extension.

Saint Dark, how did you remove the "Windows XP Professional" tag in the start menu and the "My Documents" folder in your screenshot?

Thanks for the great theme. This and Samara are the best themes, ever.

surely

Numb, I don't believe anyone has modified the shell32.dll to match the visual style, nor have I seen anyone mention that they planning on doing so. For that matter there are no specific Classix icons that I'm aware of, only various ones that seem to match the style rather well.

[saint dark], can you plz send me that sound icon thats in your quick launch?

To get rid of the Recent Documents menu you'll have to add a value in your registry (find a tutorial here), and to get rid of the banner delete bitmap #166 (in Home Edition) or bitmap #167 (in Professional) in explorer.exe with Reshacker. Hope I helped!

BTW, Gigatexel, I'll be happy to work on the FAQ if you're interested. Just IM me at my MSN or AIM, or contact me via PM.

Can you tell me where to download those icons

thnx

Can someone help me out with the shplayer.dll? I moved it to \Windows\System32 after renaming it, and still nothing. Everytime I minimize I get the default garrish player.

Thanks...

Not sure if anyone has done this yet, but I made an AIM login image for myself.. here it is (blue only)...

To change it, open AimRes.dll in ResHacker, expand the "GIFDATA" tree, and replace value 103 with this gif.

Just passin' through folks..

Nice Opio, thanks.

i like the start menu, but i dont know if i like how th blue curves around on the top...

Gigatexel. That is a MUCH better start menu. That was the one thing that sortof bugged be about the older classix...especially since I dont use user pics...was wishing for a solid, cleaner, leaner design for the user name...and thats exactly what I see in this user pic...Is this version coming out soon?

i love that new start menu

thats because you can't. wow that looks so good gigatexel hurry up and release it LOL

I frigging love the new start menu

will do can't wait. maybe i will be able to host the site :****pants:

I second that notion (or fourth it or whatever).

Edit: About the new start menu and not about Alex ****ing his pants...

Desktop with classix...

new start menu is a must, but I still like the current one

I like the compact start menu.

i have windows 2000 and i don't use winrar to unzip files, just the normal compressed files. so can someone post the winamp skin files for this theme or in a compressed folder??? thanks

its fine. i took a shower. i am all nice and clean, also sprayed my pants with feebreeze! no more odors from those pants

Thanks guys, the new start menu will be in the next update. I also plan on tweaking some other things like shellstyles, the taskbar (no the line is staying ) and maybe the combo button thingy. I'll send an email to the list when it's close to being done.

Yeah, the new startmenu looks sweet! Can't wait...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love that start menu 1029810x better than the current one (not that the current one is bad)

damn giga again, great great great great great job... keep up the good work.... you too SD

Do you have a browseui.dll file that you could make available? I assume thats how you replaced your back and forward arrows?

If not, how?

TIA

Anyone?
