Plastik for Windows

[Thresher]

I just fixed the folder options menu and uploaded it to the link above. Everything is still broken on the green scheme, but i'll probably fix it as soon as the normalcolor one is done. Enjoy!

Great work guys! A couple of bugs I noticed, not sure if you know about them or not.

The other one.

hey thanx tool hippy. i'm just wondering... what program is that in the 1st screenshot? I did a file>saveas in IE and Firefox and neither gave a space like that. Maybe i'm just not sure what is going on. The second bug well... i probably just introduced that... it probably worked b4.I'll prolly spend a whole lotta time today trying 2 fix that while keeping the previous bug fixed... thanx again

[sdb815]

It was Firefox in the first one, and MS Paint in the second one.

when i saveas a page in firefox it seems 2 b fine, anything special you did?

Now it's gone, I can't recreate it for some reason. Perhaps it was just a fluke. I'll let you know if it comes up again. ;)

actually that has happened to me before while using it, for me i believe it was in winrar but it only happned once for me too. strange.

oh, and btw... i updated the site: check out http://www.myjavaserver.com/~mike001/plastik/index.html for the new design.

I have a few suggestions...

Color the control panel background

[Bloodwork]

Make this text normal instead of bold

(Also, get a better start button!)

that start menu button was just a quick thing i stuck there as a place holder, calm yourselves with that or i'll keep it there for the final release!

haha good one :laugh:

Nice theme, bit too buggy for me to use for the moment. But when most of those bugs are gone I'll use it :D

CHANGE STARTBUTTON!!

lol

Good job with new release

[Thresher]

I don't think contra has announced it yet, but he released a new version which is FREAKING AWESOME. Many more new color schemes to choose from. And impulse, the start button was changed, so hopefully u b happy now ;).

Also, I think contra has dropped the shellstyles because he thinks that the "the windows classic shell looks great with this theme". I'm not going to dissagree, b/c i think it looks fine, but i think the shellstyles he made look far better. I'm not sure how many people have seen these shellstyles, but post here if you want to see the shellstyles continued. I'm going to keep making them for myself, I just wanted to know how many other people like them, so I know if I should have theme downloadable for use with contra's plastikxp theme.

Hey I think this is a GREAT theme and will be better once all the bugs have been worked out.

I think that is would not be as good if it had the windows classic shell were used, infact i really hate the look of windows classic... But keep up the good work the theme getting better all the time. Oh and I like the start button but i I think it needs to be more of a button like if you added a rollover or something so it looks like it gets pressed and stuff. :D

Hi.

Great remake of KDE's Plastik theme, however... Lets not forget that we are still using Windows, and so I'd like to voice my opinion and say that even though the start button has finally been changed, ;), changing it to KDE's logo is not the right way.

I'll leave it to the author to come-up with something more fitting... :)

Thanks again for a great theme!

[Thresher]

just a quick note: contra changed his mind about the shellstyles and so they ARE included in the theme. YAY. hope everyone likes them

[YtseJam]

I just noticed a small graphical error that happens whenever bringing up the start menu... See attached image.

See the really small white strip? ...

Menu shadows don't go all the way to the left edge at the bottom. It doesn't seem to be a bug.

I would really like to see a winflag version option as well as the KDE logo, since this is a windows port of the theme.

Otherwise, great job contra it looks very smooth and it is a fast theme.

For those who haven't been keeping track of this theme in the "Finished Visual Styles" forum:

Ok, I think contra has discontinued work on this theme, so I have pretty much taken over the bulk of fixing/tweaking it. I have been working on a number of fixes and changes, one of the most obvious being a NEW START BUTTON, but some other bugs as well. I'll probably post some sort of wrap-up on all the changes and progress tomorrow, and hopefully some screenshots.

Continuation from other topic:

Toadeater (assuming you find your way here), You could be right about the button being blurry. I might try to mess with it a little bit, and probably post a screen or two for people to sound off on.

I guess the original WIP topic was still around.

I have yet another suggestion, for the fonts. Try the attached font (Lucida Sans), it looks very similar to Verdana but doesn't seem to mess up any dialogs.
