Plastik for Windows

[xcession]

Nice work... :)

[boomn]

Great job! (Y)

Using it right now and I have nothing to complain about.

Haven't noticed any bugs yet.

okay...if i put out an "option" for every little complaint and tweak people want the file is going to wind up being 50 megs. stylexp is free for 30 days that gives you plenty of time to import the theme and change the one setting you don't like and resave the theme. its idiot proof plus everything is right there and easy enough to change.

the issue with the radio buttons defintiely needs to be fixed...i'll ponder about that.

i'll work on the shellstyle.

the buttons...eh its not a terribly big deal bc its only affects a few and i like the bigger font on the buttons but again i'll play around with it.

the captions are the same size as they are in kde (this is a port remember). maybe i'll play around with the size and make it slightly smaller.

an issue with grouping windows in the taskbar and not being able to see the font defintiely needs to be fixed.

the windows button does indeed look crappy around the edges...that needs to be tweaked

otherwise this is pretty bug-free for a first release, eh?

[Nard]

finally i got around to finishing this....

one problem though...the shellstyle. it works sometimes...other times its not so friendly. i need some feedback and possibly somebody to do it for me.

GET IT HERE

(remember consider this alpha quality)

Not bad, but that start button is looking kind of haggard. Try recutting it out again, this time a bit more carefully.

i am sorry...i thought i was releasing an alpha not a masterpiece.

Did you want feedback or were you posting it here for your health?

Make it a thin taskbar and start menu and it will be one sexy skin.

Very nice work dude. :D

[hornett]

To fix the broken radio buttons you must use transparent PNG files. Take apart System 3 by clicking the link in my sig, if you'd like to see what the file must be like.

very nice (Y)

love it

[Hurmoth]

Very cool! I love the start button :yes:

[ActionWes]

looks pretty good so far.

I use Plastik when I'm working with Linux, so it's nice to have in Windows now too.

i love the gradients... keep it up!

This theme is definitely the best theme . I hope that you don't stop working on it. I don't want to reproach you with this sentence, but as you said in this thread before, there is something to do..;)

I've found another point - look at this pics

I would prefer the second screenshot, because the text is better to read and in other positions - like the taskbar - the highlighted text is white with a blue backgroundcolor..:cool:

awesome theme. i havent checked for this one i nquite awhile. anyway...all you gotta do is to change that wierd start button. it's not centered, and looks very pixelish. you may consider usingthe one of this theme :

Edit: i dont have reshacker installed, otherwise i'd just post the bmp here.

[osvald]

nice theme ! thnx dude :) i think i'll track this thread.

but i want to ask you not to fix verdana font for buttons and start menu (i think tahoma is a good way), cause some letters may drop out (see atach)

[GrandMaster]

HEY THATS GREAT!!

this just replaced togie as my visual style :))

can you do 2 things though?:

1) add a small start menu

2) change the color of the text that goes on the task bar? it looks really bad and hard to see as light blue.

[Guest]

Just another screenshot of a small bug i found today:

I hope, that also contra will post here again an tells us, when the pre3 will be out :)

@NyaR: I think, that the black color in the taskbar is perfect. a light blue would be harder to read (in my opinion) :yes:
