i am almost certain that i will change the taskbar to match the colors....

And the window colors too! :laugh:

I'd also like a Baby Jeans, Toxic and maybe Copper scheme please ^_^

Thanks!

[DiEMOS]

blah... anyways here is a small preview of shellstyle... but thats coming later

[Viper118]

Looking good, DiEMOS. :yes:

[DiEMOS]

also here you go, a partially done (hopefully) upcoming trillain skin....

some parts are photoshoped like the buttons, because they are not implemented yet.

[Ran Sagy]

ow nice ! is there going to be different themes to the trillian skin ? (as trillian 2.01 pro has support for different color themes for the same skin ..)

[astrokat]

I am a big fan of this theme. Great work!!! However, it does crash my remote desktop. The temporary workaround is to disable themes. However, I was able to get this problem to duplicate itself on multiple computers.

The Blood Colour in XPamp would have been a nice addition to the colour schemes, Pitty

This theme has so many bugs and aliased graphics it isn't even funny anymore.

really? so why dont you post some of these bugs so i can fix them and make the theme better?

i know button sizing is a problem... but of course i can make ****ty buttons with no leds and everything will be perfect, in fact i can fix every bug if i change it to simpler design.... if thats what you want thats what u'll get its not a problem, i just though u wanted something a bit different then other themes.

[Kane]

Wooh that'll get your fans in Running to download your stuff

[DiEMOS]

bascily, i'm trieng to fix all the bugs without changing any design....

for all i know the major bug is sizing of the buttons and slight color problems here and there(which will be fixed very soon)...thats it...

if anyone would like to inform me of other bugs then please do :)

DiEMOS,

Actually the problem with the button is probably sizing and design. The button needs to be about 25 x 116. Right now it is 37 x 119. However, even if you get to the right size I think people are still going to find fault that the fonts are going to run longer then the button and into the LED area. Try resizing first and see what happens.

[Chris2k]

Yeah, most of the bugs I found refer to the font size. It goes out of most buttons :(

Here are some bugs.

I can easily find more.... but I'm not gonna spend more time on this. It is full of inconsistent elements and weird sizing bugs.

If you can't find them yourself you probably can't solve them either... most of them are soooo obvious.

Your buttons with leds are distracting in the first place (why so much different colors? why leds in the first place on a button?) and totally breaking the msstyle format. You did something that can't be done nicely in the msstyle format..... so don't use it then. Then your checkboxes don't look good either.

[vellox]

Jesus christ Schmoove, get off your high horse.

[Schmoove]

He wants a bugreport... he gets a bugreport....

[DiEMOS]

lol, ok...RADIOBUTTONS.... NOT DONE... read the readme... the blue button on the buttom right screenshot is not done... hense the word BETA!!(which by the way is done in the new update)....the scrollbar is exactly the way it is suppost to be... check winamp5..color scheme window and see how it is there...exactly the way i have it... ..button sizing... umm i think everyone knows that there is a problem with sizing,right?

TABS.... are exactly the way i want them to be... yes they are suppost to touch each other... yes they are all blue(for now), and yes there should be NO line beneath the selected tab... because then it dosnt look good and breaks the whole design...

"Your buttons with leds are distracting in the first place (why so much different colors? why leds in the first place on a button?) and totally breaking the msstyle format." ............why use them? lol because they are part of the winamp modern skin... because they look nice, because they fit the syle.. and plenty more reasons why....

checkboxes? yea i know they dont look good, eventually i will change them, they are just pain in you know what to make..... but thats not a bug correct? its just your opinion... same way as i can say xp amps buttons are horrible... its not a bug though....

so yea don't spend any more time on finding more, and don't even reply in this thread, because i don't think anyone needs your smartass remarks.

First of all if the thing isnt't even ready what the hell is it doing in the "Completed Visual Styles" section then???

(afraid that Noodle would steal your sunshine if you didn't release it asap??)

Bottom right screenshot isn't only about the button not done... it is about the captionbar buttons being misaligned too.

The scrollbar is exactly what you want? Why does it look like crap on the right side then? It isn't even aligned correctly (shifts a pixel to the left).

About those buttons.... it's fine that you want it this way, but I can tell you that you will never get it right. The msstyle format isn't made for weird constructions like this. Plus as long as you don't make those shadows alpha blended (you just 'hard coded' it on a grey background) it will keep looking like crap in for example Internet Explorer.... or any program that doesn't use a grey background.

The tabs touch eachother... fine, but why is there missing a (black) pixel at the point they touch?

If you can't take critics then don't ask for bugreports or opinions. In my opinion you have an awefull lot to do to make this into something decent.... and now that you have like 8 (?) color variations you have made even harder for yourself.

Good luck.....

EDIT: If I want to reply on a thread I just do that.... not you or anyone can stop me from doing that. If you don't like it that is your problem... not really mine.

misaligned buttons... that will be fixed, i have not even noticed it...

scrollbars? that is allready fixed in the next update... i noticed that right after beta one.8

tabs are not suppost to have those pixels between them because it will give them that effect that they are moving up and down when they are selected...

yes i know the buttons CANNOT be fixed... that is why they will be replaced.

oh yea and i CAN take critics, I just don't appriciate smartass remarks such as yours. If you want to post some bugreport, you can just reply and post a screenshot... and not just reply with "This theme has so many bugs and aliased graphics it isn't even funny anymore. "- nobody needs that ****... If you can do a better theme then do it, I don't need luck from you or your replys, but as you said you can reply as many times as you want... so you do that :)

[Schmoove]

Grow up.... you're acting like a 14 year old child.

[Wannes]

*Ignores the fight*

Great style dudes! Awesome work! (Y)

[DiEMOS]

acting like 14 year old child...really?

Schmoove if you have something smart to say, why don't you PM me. Since I don't want this to turn into some kind of a flame war or whatever you call it.

Schmoove please don't reply in this thread again, unless you have something informative to say. thank you.

ps. about the theme, trillain and samurize skin is works ;)
