Longhorn Heart visual style

[Guest Ryan]

Words of wisdom: "I have a feeling you'll be blown away by Aero 5.0. It may just be your dream theme. Just wait for it then see if your ideas change for this."

Ah I see. So I guess he's all set with this than? The visual style is lahrdened up and all booged to go? :D

OK. Seems like you guys have lost its path. So let me help you by make form.

Windows X's Longhorn

TaskBar: Longhorn Aero > Keynote PDC

Start Panel: Longhorn Aero keynote PDC

CaptionBar: Plex M6

Tab Item: PlexMCE

Something like this. Please inform as much as you can.

Is that what you are doing because I hate the plex caption bar. Please don't do that please.

[Windows X]

So what do you guys want? Make your form and list it! That's just an example form.

Windows X,

I've looked all over the forum at all of the Slate/Aero themes and although they are all nice, there isn't a single one that has everything I like in it. Now here's where it's gonna get funny :rolleyes: . I made this up with MS paint fromm all of the things from the themes I liked (we'll call it Frankenstein) :whistle:

It's rough but you'll see where I'm going with this. FYI these "parts" were taken from various artists renditions. THIS theme doesn't exist.....yet....hopefully

Is it possible to make long caption button? I want to make it as pic you've posted too.

Windows X,

I feel kinda dumb asking you this but what is a caption button? I am very new to theming and am not following you. Do you mean the thing with the blue and white star?

Something else I'd like to add. Do you seen in the taskbar of the picture I've posted that it is 2 colors split directly in the middle? If you do decide to make a taskbar like this, could you make it so the middle divisor will indeed always be in the middle? For instance, if people (like me) use a wide taskbar and extend it up, can you make sure the divisor will stay in the middle?

Thanks

Caption bar button is min/max/close button on top-right of window. For taskbar case, it's impossible.

I think Andylogo made some caption buttons like the ones in the picture I hacked up. Not identical but similar. See in this post:

Also, I was thinking it over and I think the new theme would look better with the Aero startmenu and using turquoise highlights instead of orange. And could you keep the shellstyle simple as it is in the picture I've posted as well? What do you think?

seems like a WHOLE bunch of talking and nothing else going on here...

maybe u should take some of the ideas and post some screenies?

wasnt that the original idea?

[bkellner]

anything you do make sure to make a matching trillian theme :D they really need a "Windows Visual" option for skins to use the current windows theme.

ANDYLOGO use background and button and I won't use that idea, not themer being trick for this case.
