Y/C Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Well, I also don't use 3rd party apps and I'm trying to modify my own XP desktop without DesktopX or Windowblinds or anything else. My opinion is that Disciple's AquaXP theme is by far the best one, and I'm looking forward for a graphite version of it. I also wanna see Binary's participation in this OSX - XP thing :) ... And here's my current desktop Desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y/C Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Well, the theme (the style, the icons etc.) is mostly from aqua-soft.org you can find all of them at Disciple's Temporary Page Liestman this "My Computer" icon is just a modification that I've made just for myself, I mean... ...hey we're running XP after all ;) and you can download it here . The only thing is that I have modified it for personal use, so I didn't need to make a larger format of that. It starts from a 48x48 icon and so on. TheStvo: If you mean the sharp corners, when I downloaded it I figured that the rounded corners didn't look good. I tried to fix them with my own way, but I couldn't manage to work them well, so I decided to make sharp corners... Well it's an itunes powerdvd skin with sharp corners modified by me also... Anyone who likes that powerdvd skin you can have it over at http://www.dvdonet.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja450n Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 what you think of this style ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y/C Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Hey, that looks good!!! Especially the taskbar which is, at last, short and the selected app on the taskbar that changes the colour of the font looks really great. Nice work!!! :) Well, as the time goes by, even better and better OS X styles are coming!!! :) I wonder, though, how the start panel looks like, cause Disciple's one was really unique. My suggestion: Try not to make another usual gelly-like start panel and also the fonts must be smoother or something with shadows etc... No offence but that's my opinion... But it's still a really nice work Ja450n! :) Cheers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmendu Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Thanks a lot ! But once u Zip them, to apply all those icons to my theme do i have to do it invidually on each file type ?? Thats the way i used to do it before and it takes for ever :( . So if u dont mind can u send me whole Theme file , so when I load it, it should make my Desktop, Icons, etc look like urs :) Can u help me do that please.. I really want to make my Desktop look like urs :) !!! I would like mine to look like this : http://download.tripod.co.uk:81/supersonic...es/17.01.02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y/C Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 I made a zip file with most of my icons from my desktop... I didn't include the .theme file cause such a file needs to have the right path where the icons and the quantum wallpaper are located, and also it needs the proper visual style. But it's not difficult to set your own high standards for your desktop... The things you should do are just to download the AquaXP theme from Disciple's Temporary Page (my older posts in this thread have the link) and also all the Aqua icons. In this zip file there are only some Mac icons I have exported from Iconfactory and OS X Icons and my modified G4 Cube aka My Computer icon... You can download them here. icons.zip Besides, taking time to customise our desktops gives all of us such a pleasure!!! Don't you think? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disciple Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Y/C - yes i'm doing a graphite version and currently tweaking AquaXP. most of the issues that people brought up as problems, gripes, bugs, etc. should be fixed in this one. NEYO - yes aqua-soft is currently working on a WB 3+ skin. i'm not personally working on one but may after i finish several VS. i'll do aqua, graphite, and a non-pinstriped version. drakon at aqua-soft is working on a WB skin when he gets free time. last time i checked he was about 10% done or so. he's working on many other things right now.

pmendu Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Y/C, Thanks for the Icons! But, I was expecting a theme file to convert mine like urs. I can change the Location of wallpapers etc once u send me the theme file and let u know if there are any probems after loading it. If there is not much space on ur webserver to upload the theme file u can send it to : mvprashanth@hotmail.com I hope I am not bothering u a lot ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpawnSpain Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 I think that the best StyleXP skin is Disciple's AquaXP. Here's my desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
