focus vs
-- UPDATE --

1. due to popular demands, you can now change the font, just choose "large fonts" in the appearance tab!

HISTORY -

it all started with my good friend womble having an idea for a vs. he made a mock up of his concept and he sent the image to me. i really liked some ideas he had, so after he said that he wouldn´t continue with his vs, i asked him if i could use some concepts in a vs of mine. obviously, since he is a great guy, he said that it was allright. so i started working in it but at the same time womble asked me to try to do something different from my older work. so, i tried my best, and with his help, this vs started shaping out. then we got to the moment where we wanted to know if the vs was any good, so we thought that if womble posted it, then people wouldn´t be biased by my name. since none said that it resembled any of my vs, we think that we accomplished what we were looking for.

we appreciate all your help and understanding! and specially, i would like to thank womble since he was an important part of this effort.

INSTRUCTIONS -

1. install the 2 fonts included (mints-strong and hooge).
2. three flavors, blue (stripped), blue1 (flat) and orange (also flat).

Now that I'm using it, the thing that's killing me is all capital fonts. Don't know why, but I like to see my file names the way I type them. sad.gif

I agree. It also makes your text longer so your menu's and other stuff end's up being about 50% longer than they would be without all the caps. If I decide to switch, I'll have to edit the fonts or find another that has low case letters too.

Yup I just noticed the fonting too, Maybe a feature to allow you to choose the font you want in appearnces tab like some themes do?

Good work, I like the simplicity of this one, although it could benefit from a lighter color scheme. smile.gif

Very nice theme smile.gif

One thing though (and I may be on my own here), it may be more usable if the caption buttons were centered vertically on the title / caption bar.

Like I said, only my opinion! Good work happy.gif

DEFINITLY KEEPING THIS VS. Its going to be my default VS from now on.

My favourite by far (thats after full day using).

PLEASE create Winamp 2.90 and/or Trillian skins. If you (or someone else) do so, this will probably be my default theme indefinitly.

thanks

ps. if someone can recommend any winamp skin which goes well with it, please do so.
krejziba
love the theme! ;0)

i´ve never done a complete winamp skin, but i´ll do my best... about trillian, i definitely need help from someone....

about the thin taskbar, it´s already thin, much thinner than the normal, i tried making it thinner but problem is that the buttons overlap with the upper border of the bar and it doesn´t look good at all...
panacea
found a temp winamp skin that goes pretty well with it.

cannot wait to see what jromo can come up with smile.gif
how about a link to a wallpaper using those colours? you know gray and blue with those little stripes. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif they go so well together.
panacea

(need better wallpaper though, something gray)

I really like this theme, but yeah, I'd like it even better with a thin taskbar. whistle.gif
