D!rtySh@dy Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 (edited) DiEMOS When do you think to release the new version of your theme ?? :cry: Edited February 18, 2004 by D!rtySh@dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin19 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Looks good Diemos, I like how the Title bars match the real winamp ones better. Also, is that going to be the final startbutton? I liked the old one better with the lightning bolt. I hope you will leave the tray arrow the same as it is kinda neat also. Finally, is there any possibility of getting a startmenu that shows the userpic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIPE Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Could you show the system tray? And I still think the Start button should just be size of the icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiEMOS Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 thank you for those comments :) Funny questions you guys ask, if you check the screenshot, it says when :) .... next week.... maybe even this weekend, but no promises... All I have to finish is MonoLite and Bitter Lemon versions and I'm done I think. I've changed a lot of stuff, most will be listed in the readme. In addition this will be perhaps the LAST update because it seems that this theme does not have a fanbase and no one has made any suggestions on the new screenshots or comment on them. In fact XP AMP has recieved more comments while its barely in development. I lost all my motivation to develop it to fit ur needs and make it a great theme due to the lack of the comments. So I will continue developing it after Beta TWO.0, adding shellstyle and few more original colors(MonoDARK and Popcorn) and custom colors(luna, olive, silver (based on windows xp colors)) BUT I doubt you will see any public releases of the other updates and the "final" version. By final i mean when everything is the way i want it to be, no bugs, everything works(side taskbar, new checkboxes, radio buttons, and all that not so important stuff), shellstyle and more. So people who is waiting for this release .. expect an update soon. It is worth the wait, in my opinion it is MUCH better then the previous release and in fact it seems like a new theme (in a good way of course). Thats all I have to say for now.

DiEMOS, Lack of suggestions on what could be improved? Hum? Perhaps that's because it hard to top the perfection of your style! I'm sure like most we are looking forward to the Beta 2 release with great anticipation. I'm also sure that most will want you to continue on. You should not be concerned with the comments on XP AMP. Remember their's was released before yours. Bring it on!!! The only thing I think that could make the theme any better is a different Start button. Aside from that you've nailed it buddy!

GSDragoon Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Exactly, it's an almost perfect VS. To me anyways. Very clean and easy to use. The Start button could use some changing, maybe the Lightning Bolt or something like that. When you release the next version, it's going to be my new VS for a while.

chriskate Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 what happened to the glowing lights next to the buttons??? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin19 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Diemos, First off, I'll support this VS till the end cause it's really neat and different. Secondly, I like the improvements (buttons, taskbar buttons, title bars) alot and have tried to let you know what I like and don't like throughout its development. I would like for you to keep the startbutton how it is in the current download (first screenshot of yours on this page). Only other suggestions would be to make the checkboxes a little lighter/easier to read and allow the use of a userpic on the startmenu. Other than that this theme rox. Finally, we don't expect you to put all of your free time into this theme, but please don't give up on it. We'll all feel like poop if we are given a half-painted picture and then the artist says "That's it, I quit, no more!" Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator 57 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 DiEMOS Don't get discouraged. This is the best VS I have seen yet. I personally have been waiting patiently for the update without bugging you. Didn't want to see another XPAmp senario with all the ranting posts. After noddle and steve quit because they got hounded I wasn't about to take the chance on not seeing this baby finalized. It is Soooooo Sweet. I think maybe also others might have been doing the same, not bugging I mean. Please we, I mean I really want to have and see the final product. Keep up the excllent work my friend.

Ran Sagy Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I have to agree with our fellow NeoWin'ers, this visual style isone of the best ive seen since WinXP was out. You do great work here, and i think everyone appriciates it. you keep coming up with all those perfect little upgrades, so no one feels the need to ask for them already ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiEMOS Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 thank you for those nice comments:) I appreciete it :blush: .

traxx Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Alright I gotta do this. Take a look at this DiEMOS post in the XP AMP thread: lol, i meant that as a joke (hence the smily)...no one is going to take anyones cake.... as i always said from begining its not about competition.Then look at the post in his own thread:(by the way we have 6,081 downloads on DeviantART since 1:04pm NY time today ... and yes we have passed XP AMP in downloads on DeviantART) You like to contradict yourself much? Either make it a competition or don't...Don't try to be an angel in the XP Amp thread and a demon in your own. People do read both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
