Longhorn Heart visual style

[Windows X]

I think you guys've seen many Longhorn visual style from me and others. There're Plex Style, Aero (My Concepts), Aero (Paul's shot), Aero (Keynote), Slate and so on. There's many things that have their own good point like Aero (Keynote) has unique Start Menu or Plex MCE has good looking and clean white theme. So, I think what if I make new visual style from parts of my previous work? Combine all of my theme to one with its greatest point. It's your chance to get Longhorn theme like you want for this time. You can tell me which part of theme should be like this.

"I would like to have Start Panel from Aero (Keynote) and Caption Bar from Aero (Windows X 2nd concepts)"

I'll wait about a week to see your respond before start this work. I think it would be great if all of the best longhorn theme part can be one.

Go for it.

[KTamas]

do it :)

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

have fun with this one.. make it be better than aero ;) go for it dude

[Caroline]

Why the heck not ;)

No aero at all. Its terrible. Well the colours anyway.

The black and white is terrible.

But hopefully you'll come up with something good

[Windows X]

Why don't you guys tell me which part do you want best?

I would like the blue slate theme, with the orange highlights (darker), without the white menus - black. Green caption title text. Black window caption buttons. Light light blue windows background - not pure white. The window face should be changed from the silverish colour to something like the reluna theme. The buttons and list boxes and comboboxes etc. should have a lot more attention paid to, the reluna theme has these brilliantly.

The areo start should be forgotten. It looks terrible. May the transparent top with the user icon.

Most of the whiteness in the themes should go - give them slight shading towards other colours to that the pure whiteness out of them.

Shellstyle colours to blend right in with the toolbar, caption bar etc.

And outlook 2003 should be used to test the theme. If the toolbars in there dont look right then the theme is not completely right. Luna looks brilliant in there. The blue menus and orange highlightling makes it looks raised and better and not flat and dull like some theme makes it.

Thats what i would like. Maybe ill try it all when im done with my thesis after next week.

Any taste from other longhorn theme? My point is about mixing the best part of several Longhorn themes to be one.

[OldeCrow]

how about putting the plex styel green tabs in and colorizing them blue for the style !!

:p Im talking to a wall WindowsX is asleep :D

[Guest Ryan]

Good idea my friend. I'd use something like this. A bit of everything all in one.

[memNOC]

meh in all honesty, i dont see the point to it.. i know i'd never use it, but hey, there's definitely an audience for this type of thing, so you might as well go for it..

good luck and have fun (Y)

whistler 2250+slate = is that possible?

i made a whistler thing i plan on releasing soon, but the thought of whistler + slate keep crossing my mind.

[Windows X]

ikk..... So no one who interested in? Sobbbbbb....... T_T

[Caroline]

It seems rather empty asking people if they want it - best thing to do would be to put a beta together and see if people think it is worth carrying on with rather than asking before you have started it.

[Windows X]

You're right but I wanna know about what ppl're thinking for before start it. This is not easy to move around for many themes.

[Tempest]

I'm extremely interested! For whatever reason, I haven't had much luch with the TransPack and just want the themes. No offense...I got the latest one but haven't had any luck...probably my fault.

Windows i personally loved the Plex Start button ..maybe u could do like a second theme as part of this one using that... with the white lookin flag ..i actually loved the plex theme ..i wouldnt mind seein some more blue and white :D

[itsnotabigtruck]

Please do slate, plus the Aero start panel, but change the little LED logoff/shut down icons to the regular ones. :D

[DieAnotherDay]

hey windows X, i really like your first slate style (the beta version with the red close button and the shellstyle). And what i would find really nice, if you could color the taskbar to white, like i the attached picture. think of it :rolleyes:

[Windows X]

I did in Longhorn Aero 4.0 inside Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0

[Dejon]

go for it dude.!

[BMac]

I love this idea. I like the keynote start bar and color scheme with the caption bar from your aero concepts. Also please keep the new keynote start panel. With a transparency effect it rocks.

[itsnotabigtruck]

Could you please implement this start button? I think that is actually the Aero start button. I found it as a PNG in slate.msstyles.

[RauL]

not just go for it , do it , make it now

tell him what u would like to see!!!!!

as for me im not into the whole longhorn, mac os x styles thing :rolleyes:
