[VS] XPAmp 1.9

[JJMustang]

I found a nice little icon set in the Neowinn Forums that goes nicely with this theme:

FEDORA

I think you meant "Cursors."

Thanks for posting that wallpaper... I don't want to post other people's work as a download; instead, I like to link to the source.

For icons, I like the Bluecurve icons (no link, sorry.)

I also found Pixelorama Pro to be about the same color as the XPAmp VS. ( -----------Link is right here -----------) However, with the Aqua - Graphite background, the icons get lost... defeats the purpose of icons if you can't see them.

@..n00dle.. and SteveoFC: I'd like to create a logon screen based upon this style. I've never done one before, but I'm learning... would it be possible for you send me the graphics that you're using for this theme? I won't release the logon unless you want me to and give me permission... who knows what it will look like, but I do have some ideas that I'd like to try..

Okay well here's my improvement that I've spent time on fixing. I dont kno if the taskbar buttons are still a problem with the perfectionists, but here's the fix file for those who want it

Taskbar_Buttons_Edit.rar

[kombolcha]

haha.. i've already been using the fedora cursors :happy:

with all these "improvements" they will all be included in a later release right? in one complete file instead of all these seperate downloads

[BMac]

The fixes are created by separate parties to help the advanced user. Just be patient and Stevo and n00dle will fix it in the one file.

Another improvement that I felt I had to go farther on. Somebody else cleaned up the taskbar tray. We'll I went further and just about perfected it.

The new fix is attached for all who want it.

Well, thanks a lot for those improvements Escalade :p I can see you guys care about this theme :)

Later :D

I worked on the buttons a little more to try and clean them up a little further. They still has some points that needed fixing. The inactive one now has the black taken out and are all gray until it becomes active.

Cool :D thanks man

Here's the fix if you want them:

modern_button2.zip

[chema]

the thing about the buttons is that if they have light pixles outside of the borders, they're gonna look awful in a darker background :/

yeah tweaker remember the buttons in the vs are used in IE for webpages also. so if it is a site with a dark bg those are going to look horrible.

[Tweaker]

Thanks, guys! I had noticed that. There was a reason behind you madness! :D

maybe you could change the taskbar hide/show button

Might just be me but I think the GANT icon set works really good with this theme

Keep up the good work fellas

I agree with that. The default was kinda odd.

I'd change it if i had any clue how to. :yes:

It's the Traychevronhorizonal & vertical; open on both (4 in all) that make this image up. Of course, after that you need to design something to replace it.

Personally since it's a design creation StevoFC or n00dle should be the ones to make that call on this since this is their creation.

Here's some really sweet looking icons that go well with this vs. Unfortunately, it's part of a WindowsBlinds suite by Pixtudio that cost $9.95. I bought it sometime ago mainly for the icons. I used the whole suite for a while but I like vs better then WindowBlinds.

Here's the link: http://www.pixtudio.com/index.php?page=suite&SuiteID=574

mmmm yeah that does look good

[Kriz]

Sweet set of icons :D

[traxx]

i bought that suite from pixtudio when it came out...haven't touched it since then....might have to bust it out again it does match well

I have been trying to make a samurize config to fit the VS. What do you guys think?? It's not finished quite yet, just first version. Need to update some graphics etc.

Very good emulation. Fits exceptionally well.

Glad you like it.. Will probably work on it some more tomorrow. Thinking of making another version of it that is smaller. Also planning a MSN Messenger script for it. We'll see :)
