Tesseract Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Cool..I will hack this theme and use that image...for my own personal use...I would not release this w/o Binary's permission. EDIT: After looking at the theme, I cannot hack this just by replacing the bitmap b/c the start flag and the word "start" are not part of the bitmap that is being replaced and thus replacing the underlying bitmap will create a mess. I will either figure out how to get around this or just wait for someone else to release another version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioboy Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 The ergonomic blue is exactly what I thought was wrong w/ the theme (it was too bright for me) that stopped me from using it. I've converted now:P Cheers on a great theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binary Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 Originally posted by LEAN Once again....... binary... you have done it again! One question for you? did you you use the original graphics ripped from the MS skin or draw the whole thing from scratch? Also about the checkbox bug... how did you fix it? --PEACE A little of both, although I had the original theme files, I had to convert alot of them so that they would work with the new format, I redrew some things here and there. you'll prolly notice them cause they wont look as polished ;) And I basically just stayed as close to the luna checkbox settings as possible, to retain the same effects. And about the start button, everyone has access to use stylebuilder, so if you want to change anything in the theme for personal use go ahead, your free to do so, but please don't start re-releasing my skins with little differences, if your going to change the theme then at least add your own creativity before releasing it as your own. I only say this because I believe this is the only watercolor msstyles needed imo, it's damn near perfect (not to brag but it took over 6 months of off and on work to get it to this level. And I think it's pretty much bug free.) So I really dont see the need for any others, and it's also fairly easy to convert it to your own colour prefs using style builder. :) And to answer someone elses question from before.. no I wont make this into a WB skin, WB has a watercolor style, it may not be as accurate (some parts it is, others it isnt) but it's a nice skin none the less :) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinermoose241 Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Jw are you going to fix the shellplayer bug?? please Binary!!!!! ... Let us know. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binary Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 not likely, I dont use shellplayer, but you can edit the theme in stylebuilder on your own, I'm not sure what you would have to change though, because I dont really know what your talking about : btw if we kept running around trying to fix every little bug minor applications have with XP themes, then we'd be here untill XP is discontinued ;) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
