I dont like this one very much,its just to plain looking.I wonder why so many people like it? Maybe if you made look glossy like blue luna i could warm up too it.All these flat coloured themes are boring.Why not just use classic.I want my luna themes to have some flavour.
This is what i mean by more luna like'

What makes you think this was specifically made to please you? I made this for myself first then for the people who love minimalistic type themes which as you've probably noticed there's no shortage of. To be honest, that picture you posted made the bile in my liver rise to the top of my throat, one man's treasure is another man's garbage. I'd like to direct you to themexp.org where you'll find thousands of luna recolors made for people with exotic and refined tastes such as yourself.

If you don't like simplistic theme's why would you even bother to enter a thread for a theme entitled "Classix".
Everything that is "Classic" is obviosly simple and un-flashy.

Making this theme "glossy" would defeat the purpose of the theme it self. wink.gif

I think mac themes are too glossy and busy.

Why don't the millions of authors of the millions of ports make the mac themes like this??? LOL laugh.gif laugh.gif

Cappucino is a Mac theme, and it's minimal.

Gah. There ARE benefits to joining the mailing list you know? I just posted the alpha of the FAQ a few days ago for everyone on the mailing list. Search for this question in the thread. It's been awnsered PLENTY of times. You can't miss it.

With all the attention this theme is getting I'm really suprised none of the webmonkeys around here have set up a little messege board just for this theme. It would be handy to have all the different aspects and app-skins discussed in separate forums.
I'd do it if no one else does. smile.gif

Well this is something gigatexel would have to approve, however if there is enough demand and he agrees, I'd be more than happy to do just that. I'm just not sure there would be enough usage to justify a dedicated forum, of course I could be wrong. The mailing list is open for discussion, but it's seem relatively little usage except on the part of a few, hence my previous comment.

Gorilla mixed with Bluecurve and a bit of EUSMIS and Gnome thrown in. tongue.gif

I have heard of gorilla and gnome icons...but where do I get EUSMIS icons?

They're in the Completed Cursors, Icons, and Wallpapers section. [saint dark] made 'em. Mainly for QuickLaunch.

Quoted right from the soon-to-be-released-if-more-people-had-suggestions-for-it FAQ:

Installing Classix

        Well, hopefully soon, we’ll create an installer for this theme, but in the meantime here’s the info:
               

·    First, unzip the archive into X:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\

·    Right-click on your desktop

·    Choose the appearance tab

·    Choose the theme (Classix or ClassixSD)

·    Choose a color scheme

·    Press Apply, then OK when it’s done.


And if that doesn't work then you might have a faulty uxtheme.dll OR you could be extracting into a subfolder in Resources. Look into the Resources folder just to check you're not putting it like Classix\Classix\Classix.msstyles
seeya
i think i've a faulty uxtheme.dll ... where can i get the patch?
Schmoove
No no.
Probably you didn't extract it properly.
Chance is that it created a folder in the themes folder named Classix. Within that folder there is a Goodies, a Classix and a ClassixSD folder.
Well there is you problem.... XP won't notice that there is a Classix theme installed.
Cut and Paste those 3 folders (Goodies, Classix and ClassixSD) into the Themes folder (C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\) and you're ready to go.

I have this problem all the time when I extract the Classix archive with WinRAR. An installer would be nice.

Let me know, I can make InstallShield installers (or just with WinRAR). So if you guys need help with an installer, let me know.
TheReaperMan
Click HERE to download patch for WINXP SP1

above file will auto patch your uxtheme.dll for you and then restart you pc, then you can use the classix pack:)

i can not remeber were i got it from tho.

PS: It will only be up for about 4-5hours, so could someone else host it? or post a link to it for else were???, and include it in the faqs:)

thanks

We already are working on that. We think Alex could make a nice one for us, but then again, no. We're gonna have an advanced installer most likely. Were you can pick what packages you want and stuff like that, and let you choose where to put each if they are not correct already. Wait up guys. We'll have it soon...hopefully. wink.gif
