Who want want the Taskbar at the bottom anyway, with the Apple logo on the start button and all. :p

Me. I'm used to the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Also, I'm not really into the Mac-OSX look, hence the need to have the taskbar at the top is eliminated. The 1st thing I usually do with such themes is to edit out the Apple logo. But that's just me. :cool:

BTW, stefanka, I noticed a small detail I thought might need correcting. There's a slight shadow at area 1 of the image below, that seems to be missing from area 2.

Sure, a discussion board is full of comments by various people.  However, there are million different ways to comment.  What these "boo hoo" kids fail to realize is that these themers put a lot of effort and time into creating a theme (although some themes can be very quick & simple to make) and the they are more than willing to share the theme w/ the rest of the world for FREE.  Despite their personal opinions (both negative & positive), the receipients (the boo hoo kids) should recognize to wholeheartedly appreciate the themer's work.  If you don't like a particular work and the themer disagrees w/ your opinion, just learn to change it on your own rather than repeatedly "bitch" at the themer to change it for you, or don't use the theme at all.  Again, I know that comments are expected in a discussion board but the comments should be addressed in a manner that promotes a themer to think about or re-evaluate his theme rather than merely ****ing him off by saying "it sucks", for example.  Let's say you're walking down the street and someone offers to give you a free t-shirt.  You look at it and decides not to take it because of the design, color or whatever the reason.  What do you say to the guy who's offering you a t-shirt?  It would be more appropriate to say "Thank you for the offer but the color is too bright for my taste" than to say "It sucks.  Go and make it darker and put a flower print on the sleeves".  That would be rude.

I agree. Themers can request help from a moderator if they feel that they are being harassed. I'm sure that the customization moderators and the rest of the team are willing to provide support where needed. Just let us know because sometime things slips through :)

With that said, I didn't mean that members shouldn't be saying stuff like "Can I have a Windows flag version?", "it's too dark for my taste", or anything in that fashion because remember, it defeat the whole purpose of having a discussion board if people weren't allow to comment and discuss. When comments turned into harassment, that's when we come in and sort things out. Just ask :)

Unfortunately, my english is very bad, but i found someone who translates.

In the first instance i do my skins for myself. But many people contact

me, thus i release them.

I'm open to honest criticism (bug report), but many people get offensive.

I would never say "I don't like the colour" or "That is ****". Everybody

has its own taste and style.

Either i like it or not. But you can't discuss about taste and style.

Like Hush Hush, that's okay. You're right. That's a problem.

But the start panel was more complicated than it looked. I worked on it

for a long time but unfortunately i couldn't do it better. That's due to

the windows interface.

This is a very nice theme.

As far as the negative comments that offer no constructive criticism, I look at it like this:

I feel that the title of this particualr forum " Completed Visual Styles " is pretty distinct in what goes here.

Kindof like, " St. Johns Mall ", where you would expect to browse, and buy things you like.

If I walk into a department store and see soemthing I dont like, its not like I run to management and say, "Hey, this shirt is too dark, its not my type". Nor do I tell Tommy hilfiger that the threads in his shirts are too tight especially if im not going to purchase it

These guys are just posting here for our benefit. I highly doubt they give a damn about anyones approval for the theme. Its hearing that there are satisfied people that makes it worth while.

If I DO download a theme that looks nice and it crashes my PC, then I would say I have the right to complain but when someone offers an ass of time and devotion for free, I have no intentions on throwing it back in their face; goot theme or not.

Im out.

PS: Thanks Themers in general, stefanka in specific.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
