Nice VS. I'd like to see some minor improvements:

- status bar in light color (make the horizontal scollbar confusing)

- column headings in windows explorer (detailed view) are not well distinguished enough

- mouseover effect on taskbar is nearly invisible. A slight 3D effect would be nice

- taskbar: current task is too flat, only the background color is changed. Add 3D effect like what you have done for the scroll bar or the windows close button (X on top right of window).

- menu: use same font than the one you use for dialog box or tab labels.

- personally, I prefer normal font for status bar and start menu. But it's OK to leave them bold.

- disabled button: the text is not very readable (not enough contrast)

I'm sure the next version will be great.

ummm why not just mod it for yourself :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

he was just making some suggestions to improve the theme based on his opinion..

i agree, it was a tad picky and way too subjective to take into consideration, but still, dont mock the man for giving his opinion..

I also think the taskbar selected color is a bit odd, along with the button colors. Also, the text on items in the start menu doesn't stand out enough...everything's too gray (I'm using the Despair variation). And, overall a bit too dark for my tastes.

All in all, a fairly good theme, and a lot better than many themers can do...but it doesn't feel as polished as Classix, and it's definitely not as easy to use. I guess I'll continue to use C10k2 for now :)

xcession: bug fixed, same link as the first post

To all: sorry about the colors but Im not going to change them, they were taken from k10k and since the k10k and the kaliber themes line is a tribute to the site I need to keep the original colors, you are very free to modify the theme for personal use.

Dark Vageta and elw3irdo,

Did you spent some time to review the VS? I submitted some opinions, admittedly some are subjective. At the very last I've tried to be contructive. Sorry if it didn't sound obvious enough to you. I actually only contribute comments to the few VS I like.

Let's say the author received 100 posts saying "OK, that's great". Of course it is good but that gives fewer opportunity for possible improvement. I don't know who between us 3 helps the author more.

If Saint Dark feel offended by my remark, then I apologize. Please let me know and I'll ask the moderator to delete the former post.

dont worry, your post didnt offend me and I agree with you in some points, the fact is that I really cant change the color shades and theme structure since this theme is a tribute

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
