Dude looks really great, too bad i don't have windows anymore, this would definitely make the cut. Great work.

Actually, I am thinking it would be nice to port this to Linux. Not sure if the Thread Starter can (or wants) to do this, or if they could release the images used so a port can be done.

What do you say, emmzaa?

i dont use linux so I couldn't do it myself, but I'd be more than happy to release the images for a port. I have the PSD's too, if needed.

p.s. thanks for all the compliments! I'm still open to criticism too though if you have any.

That would be pretty awesome, i will gladly help and try to port it. Not an expert when it comes to gtkrc's but i kind of know how to modify already made themes. Count me in...

I think it looks fantastic! I would be porting it into the Fluxbox environment on Linux (which is very basic - no hover, for example). I'll shoot you my email addy, so you can send the psds (I have GIMP, but it reads PSD files no problem). I intend this for personal use, but I can post the results here, or just email them to you if you wanted the port back for distribution and/or control of your material. (Y)

Thanks again!

please do.

Working on it a bit now... Fluxbox on Linux is a very basic Window Manager. There is no start button. It has no theme for scroll bars and such (those are taken from whatever gtk/qt themes you have installed). So don't expect a lot from a flux theme. Also, I am right now needing to modify some of the images for the window buttons because flux expects the buttons to be as many pixels high as they are wide (told you fluxbox was basic!). The theme given to me also requires the buttons to be in specific locations, which fluxbox normally leaves user configurable (plus this theme currently lacks a "shade" and "stick" button, which I might try to make myself, or ask for emmzaa's help with).

I just hope that when the specific requirements for a flux theme are met, that it is close enough to be respectable. If I get any progress on this tonight (kids have the night off from football, so I have a little bit of time) I will post what I have.

I'm not a Gnome/KDE/gtk/qt type of person, and I have no idea how to theme those. :(

But here is the titlebar done up for "LiteBlue" converted to Fluxbox so far.

(click image above to see it in context of emmzaa's original sample image in the first post)

Not too shabby so far (I did just a quick "stick" image on the left side of my window, it is a small circle, and yeah I know the darker shadow around it isn't right - it is the maximize button modified slightly).

that looks really nice. :nod: is there something i can do to make the corners look nicer on the titlebar? do they need to be a certain shape or what?

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
