[WIP]Longhorn Aero PDC Keynote

[XP_01]

some of the images i was noticing they dont have those style buttons windows x...

some problems i noticed so far

1 text is all "greyed out" for all the menu and right click options please change it to black text and save the "greyed out" for things that can not be chosen in a menu

2 shut down text is cut off (noticed in your screenshots that its not shut down its turn off so that could be why)

I totally agree and the menu text does look crappy. You might want to fix the Caption Bar text too, it's hard to read!

You did? When did you add them to your Aero theme?

Before I post that screenshot. It's from my theme. But little mock up for button graphics which tuned to theme yet.

I can trick the caption buttons to be closer to the top but i cant get rid of the gap between them.

you could actually put the buttons on the caption bar itself, and set the stretching margins to past where it is

then just pop the glyphs on top of the area you have created on the caption bar

couldn't you?

This theme is not final, i only released it so everyone who wanted it could have a chance to use it in the interim(I am in the middle of exams so time for this is low).

That's just silly trick that I never forget it but what if I use larger theme mode? Can you forcast how it looks for fixed sizing margins with pane and caption bar merged resizing? And I think I won't mess my whole theme time for this less-creative piece on different UI. By the way, this is ANDYLOGO's thread so I shouldn't talk too much and post my latest progress.

Awesome theme, ANDYLOGO!

[ANDYLOGO]

My latest attempt(not yet implemented in released theme)

[BMac]

Cool cool my only suggestion is make the part behind the buttons more silverish.

[ANDYLOGO]

Made the Caption Buttons Thinner, as well as added more reflection(shine).

Comments and feedback needed.

The Close button is suppose to be longer then the rest....

Another thing I noticed is that your theme is silver..the real one is more black.

Looks great but what happened to the gradient effect. Also did you change the scrollbars cause they were better before.

not sure if its possible to pull that off ron21

The reason the real one looks black is because it is transparent is is on a black background. And right now it is impossible to make one button longer than the others.

@BMac the scrollbars only look like that on neowin.net, everywhere else they are the same as before.

Nope it's not possible. Atleast not that I've ever found.

What about the gradients of the caption bar? Are they gone? If so please bring them back.

[NY1]

Where did you get that Ron?

[NY1]

someone pmed that theme awhile back..

[BMac]

You should pm ANDYLOGO so he can ask how to keep the gradient effect.

[ANDYLOGO]

I can make buttons like those but there is a gap between those buttons and i personally don't like the buttons with the gap.

Personally I'd rather see your buttons. They look much better.

Edit: could you maybe make the background of the caption buttons more transparent looking like the one's windows x posted.

i believe its called input :rolleyes: it helps the developer make better things. And they got a keyboard and fingers too if im not mistaken. They can tell us if were being a nusance :unsure:

[Miq]

believe me you're being a nusance

[ANDYLOGO]

This is not meant to be rude, but if you want buttons that look as bad as the ones WindowsX posted you can use that theme.
