Opus Apollo v1.2

Designed to be unobtrusive and useable, yet pleasing to the eye and individual (that rhymes!).

Contains

- 2 colour variations, Apollo (grey) and Coffee.

- Each colour variation contains:

- Normal and Compact start panels

- Normal and Thin taskbars

- Giants Collide wallpaper (they go together perfectly, please try them).

- VERY fast UI, highly optimised code.

Important Notes

The end tab on the Display Properties box is not a bug, its Windows being stupid. All other tabs are fine.

A shellstyle is on its way.

Yz Shadow is used to create the window shadows in the screenshot.

Updates (1.1 -> 1.2)

Added Compact Start panel versions

Added Normal Taskbar versions

Smaller status bar w/3D text

Large and E.Large start button bug fixed

All programs arrow aligned with text

Added tab mouseovers, made selected tab brighter

Inactive titlebars now slightly darker

Enhanced all mouseover widgets (more 3D)

Great job!!

I have a quick question though. I've been using WatercolorLite for about a year now, because all of the new styles that come out (which I actually like, like this one) are all thin-taskbar - they look terrible with WMP9's taskbar control. It's probably rude to ask you for a standard sized taskbar, so could you possibly point me in the right direction for getting it doen myself? I've never been able to make a thin-taskbar theme full-size, and I'd really like to with this theme, because it looks great!!

:blush:

Anyway, good job!!!

OK, something like this. Is this possible?

Top: current version

Bottom: the way I want to make it look. How do I do this?

that's the problem i had mavis .. unlock your taskbar, then move it .. to say the side of the screen, then put it back on top or bottom and your problem should be solved

    • Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.
    • It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.
    • So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
