Repost of the modified Luna. Changes include compact start menu, small (18px) caption bars, squared caption bars, thinner taskbar, new tabs etc. I've also made 4 WMP9 skins to match.

Preview of the Olive and Blue theme:

Nice work Dazzla, fresh look for the original visual styles... yes.gif

Awesome theme Dazzla. One problem I've found is with Outlook Express. I use Small Icons in the toolbar at the top. They appear to be missing. I set them to full size, and they appear, then back to small, and they appear fine. But, when I close OE, and reopen it, they are missing again:

Your Wmp9 skin are perfect for my personal version of luna wink.gif

My custom luna

Two things:

- There's some white stuff around web page buttons, visible on dark bg.
- I've never liked the green start button.

Great modifications!

Lol, I don't really know what to say. The mod took all of 2-3 minutes, changing the values for caption bars, taskbar and start menu. That's all I changed the values of, graphically I only redone the tabs.

danlu, that's always done that for me on Luna, I left the buttons alone so it'll continue to do that.

I found out after I posted this that it was a problem with my AVG Antivirus. So, it's working fine. Great job Dazzla. smile.gif
kryptonik
Very nice theme. Good job Dazzla.
Vintious
Nice theme. My only complaint is with the WMP skin. When you open a movie with a widescreen format, the skin shows the video, but you can see the visualization in the background.
Smitjel
Awesome work Dazzla!

What are the chances of an "Ergo" color scheme coming out? I think it would round out the colors quite nicely!
Alan Zeino
hehe i did an ergo one a while ago its in my thread so i guess if he did one it would kinda be followin me

No offense but after comparing the two side-by-side, Dazzla's mod is clearly better than yours...you just happened to pick a good color.

Don't flatter yourself sleeping.gif

Vintious, I'm aware of that, I know it sucks sad.gif I'm too much of a newb at coding to figure it out though, I'm gonna have another look at the coding this weekend, same problem explained here.

So no "ergo" Dazzla?

The Windows Media Player Skin included in this theme is a rip of my Classix skin found on http://rzx.emugenerations.com.

Dazzla, why did'nt you request permission prior to realese?
I would have been more than happy to accept. no.gif
It is very dissapointing when one does this.

Anyhow, I sent you a private message on what you need to do in order for me to officaly allow you to realese it.

Also, if you oblige to the above, I suggest you use my Watercolor skin for Windows Media Player 9 as a templete for this slimmed down version of luna.
This will allow the user to use visualzations and fix the video bug mentioned above. wink.gif

perhaps the titlebars would look better if they were left-justified instead of centred...

Woah, Sorry dude sad.gif

I didn't have a clue whose skin it was, it was a mod of a bluecurve skin, it didn't have an author sad.gif

I've updated all the skins so the author says "Dazzla, Original code and Layout by Ryu7x" and the copyright bit says "Dazzla and Ryu7x". I've also inlcuded a readme in the file with credit to you and a link to your site.

Sorry dude, I didn't realise at all sad.gif

It's all right!

Anyhow, i advise you too take a look at the Watercolor skin I made for WMP9, its alot better and cleaner than the current templete you used. Since the Watercolor skin is based off of the Classix one I made, it should not take you long to tranfer the gui.

Also, could you lead me to this un-permited bluecurve version so I can attempt to trace it to the source? shifty.gif

Thanks smile.gif

I've spoken with Ryu7x, sorted out my idiocy and I'll update the Luna and Ximian skins ASAP to the quality Watercolor skins he made.

Ok guys, give this a try, I messed it up a few times somehow, but it should be ok now.:

Download

It's the NewLuna Olive skin, based on Ryu7x's latest watercolor skin. I have to say, he's done a sweet job, video works perfectly as well now, different visualisations etc. Very cool. Permission is included in the zip.

I haven't really got time to do Blue, Silver and Ximian tonight but I will, and I'll have a little play with ergo wink.gif

Thanks again to Ryu7x for understanding.

A little ergonomic preview as well, just standard fare at the moment, integrating all the ergo colours that we've seen through various styles into Luna, few colours from Ergo Watercolor, few from Luna Reborn, few from classix as well actually:

When I said "ergo" I meant just another color scheme from what you already had. This preview looks great but it's different from your first three. Or is this something different altogether? Sorry... blush.gif

I really like that screenshot. That looks like something I would definatly use. yes.gif
Jessterw
Except for the taskbar gradients (which doesn't look too bad), I like how the ergo scheme is looking.
kryptonik
Dazzla, as I stated over at DesignTechnika. Would it be possible for you to make a mod to thenWMP skin when minimized?
Teknomatrix
Wow! Dazzla... nice work here!!

That ergo screenshot keeps me waiting!!
Keep up the great work!!

Todo:

1. Finish up Silver and Blue WMP9 skins to the new spec (and Ximian)
2. Finish up Ergo color scheme
3. Do the WMPLocs for the 3 colour schemes.

Thing is, the WMP taskbar increases the size of the taskbar because I've made it just that tiny bit smaller, I'd have to increase the size of the taskbar by one pixel so the WMP9 taskbar mode doesn't increase the size of it. But I'm at work during the week so stuff only really gets done during the weekend.

To whoever said that his mod is better than mine is mean lol just plain MEAn hahaha...
