WinRAR is like WinZip. It's evaluation but for some reason the evaluation never runs out. tongue.gif

this theme is awesome. the trillian and winamp match so well. i'm running it right now. KUDOS to all who helped put this together. i'd like to help if i can put together an entire package. like mozilla skin would be cool, wmp9, the possibilities are endless.

one question: my explorer crashes every time (explorer plus taskbar) when I try to view the wallpapers included with classix (thin and regular). anybody else experiencing this problem?

apart from that my system runs stable for days and weeks @full load.

some questions.

how do i put the classix vertical banner in with the theme? i know it's in the goodies folder, but how do i include that in the theme?

also, shellplayer controls? what are these?
sanctified
wow art, you are going to make me to use bsplayer
gigatexel

JagedEdge: I made a list of questions that get asked often, might want to add those to the FAQ? smile.gif

I'll get ya started:
1. How do I use the alternate Startbuttons?
2. How do I use the Classic Start Menu Banners?
3. What the hell do I do with these Shellplayer dll's?
4. Is there a <insert program name here> skin available?
5. Are there times when you don't feel... fresh?


Here's the startmenu in its final form, I'll be working on it today since I have some free time. Tell me what you think now, don't wait until after it's done to tell me you hate it. biggrin.gif

when will this be out?

Shellplayer controls are for the media player that sits in your taskbar and came with early versions of Powertoys.

Oh, and sorry for the double post. I just caught what he said and I had to quote it. tongue.gif

I have to say that just plain ol' sucks donkey balls sick.gif I mean it's almost as bad as that stupid line on the taskbar.

rolleyes.gif

Truth be told, I'm kinda digging the new start menu; no user pic is a bonus (I mean do you have any idea how uncool I look posting a desktop with a duck in the start menu...) and it just looks a little cleaner (more compact). I do still like the lighter 'tan' color though... hrm...
justinpward
personally, i think the start menu is near perfect right now. i'd say keep it.

I just spoke to a mod and this will be your last day as a member of neowin, enjoy it. thumbs_up.gif

Yeah I kind of like that lighter beige color.. hmm brainstorm, I made a mock up of an alternate startmenu using that color I'll see if I post it.
I'm going to stick with the new start menu I made. The update should be done by the end of next week, much to be done still.

I recolored black so now it umm looks black.

I think the taskbar buttons need to be tweaked a bit in the SD version. How about something like this?

is there going to be a white-ish version or a light colored version of this msstyle? maybe instead of the grey, use a lighter color. it would look nice for sure.

Giga,
I would like to highly suggest you look into using one of these types of styles without the user name as I myself run server 2003 and am unable to have a user picture.

Could someone post a link to some decent icons for this theme or some PNG's?

Art, are you Arty from OcUK?

Great theme guys!!

Oh, and when I use Winamp Skin, the playlist still has the classic skin on? (using WA3)

Yes I am smile.gif

The Winamp skin is designed for 2.xx, not 3 - you can partly use 2.xx skins in 3 but certain components (such as the playlist) will not be skinned.

I may do a Winamp 3 one at some point, but at the moment I'm concentrating on the progs which I use as a priority (and which are best anyway so wink.gif).

If there is interest I will do the colour variations on the BSPlayer skin and upload them for people to download.

Alex, I made a new start menu without a user picture check page 19 for screenshots. The username is staying though.

I plan on making one (1) new color scheme but I haven't decided on the color. If there's a color you'd like to see give me the RGB values (not a screenshot) and I'll consider it. If you don't know how to get RGB values then tough. tongue.gif
Razor
OK, thanks Art.

Gigatexel, when is the new version going to be released?

Thanks,
Tom smile.gif
RaQ
Giga,
I see your screenshot but I will openly and honestly say the "....." dots make it look horrible. Without those it's top notch wink.gif

[Edit: Also I meant the user picture not the user name, sorry.]

The dots add effect. We likes effect! biggrin.gif

BTW, I've just started on the FAQ since I found some free time. I've already awnsered all the suggestions. Any more suggestions to put in before I convert it to HTML and go from there?
