:: vS :: AMPed viSUAL STYLE beta TWO


Recommended Posts

OK, been messing with this theme for a few minuts, and there's only one little thing that jumps out and bothers me.

When a window is selected, it matches the winamp blue color. But when it is not selected, it turns a dark gray. I just tested the other color schemes, and I only have this problem on the "Blue" one.

Top window selected.

No window selected.

PS: The theme looks fantastic. I can't wait for the bitter lemon color scheme.

OK, I found one other little thing. :)

The state of the minimize/maximize button doesn't change to indicate what clicking it will do.

Exactly! And this is one thing I bothers me. True its just like Winamp, but I guess people would live a little difference there so long as it is for the better.

Would really love it if all those indicators (-, + , X) could be made a little more bigger ... as in .. propotional to the size of the title bar and also indicative of its present status.

With the Progress bar looking so neat now, this is just about all I could ask for ... that is besides the possibility of getting down the unzipped size a lil down.

Cheers

yeas it does - at least in APMextra scheme. and though its a bit hard to see i have no complaints (see below)

compact start menu, new minimalistic scheme based on AMPextra, new progress bars

UBER COOL :woot::

thanks DiEMOS i love that scheme !

ps. too bad about hover color on logoff, but since you can do nothing who cares.

I don't like xperiment, it's like a "Winamp Longhorn" scheme x_x

Anyway, hope that the taskbar and windows get coloured for each scheme in a next release ('cause the only thing chinging on each scheme is the titlebar and menu colors, so if everything but that is gonna be gray in all schemes, they don't look like the Winamp themes :pinch:)

Yeah, I was thinking of this too.

Nice VS! What is the best program to use for this VS?

what do you mean?

the best program to use with this style would obiously winamp 5

(i actually use a skin made for winamp2 to make it look like modern skin - it is a lot fasted then the real modern skin)

and if you are asking which program to use to apply the style - dont use any - jsut change uxtheme.dll to a patched one and presto - you can chanege it in display options. do a search - there is tons of info out there on how to change visual styles in xp

hopefully this answers your question (if it did not i have no idewa what are you asking :blink:

Been using this theme since it first came out and heres my bug report:

-scrollbar in firebird is glitched

-the quicklaunch icons look too high while the taskbar tray icons (on the right) look too low

-tabs seem to cut off the ends of other tabs in some cases

suggestions :) :

-compact takbar

-compact start menu

-larger min,max,close buttons

-slightly less margin around the start button

-maybe a slightly smaller tray opener button

besides those few bugs/suggestions this theme is wonderful.. im loving CityNight

HERE IT IS.....another version -- Check first page.

post suggestions and bugs below ;)

edit: oh yea... whoever wants to have compact menu version... i need someone to host it....so PM me.

enjoy...

hahahaha markus..... that's a good one.

@frease: I dunno if your comment was sarcastic but if it wasn't this skin is based on the default WinAmp 5 skin.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
