jmc777 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 window shading? what do you mean by that? @contra: He means the windows in the images you posted in your first post. They have drop shadows. @Sietse: Do a search for a program called Y'z Shadow.

Guest Nuroticat Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Another little bug I just noticed with the latest version of AIM/DeadAIM. When I log on, the IM buttons on the bottom don't show, I have to scroll the mouse cursor over them for them to appear. Also, sometimes when I log off, the area with my screen name is blanked out. BTW, I emailed you a screenshot for the site contra. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177510-plastik-for-windows/page/4/#findComment-2288358 Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacey Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 i'm excited with all the work going into this contra. it could very well be one of my top favourite usable themes. i wouldn't mind something innovative with the start button though. perhaps a little button that has been 'plasticized' with 'start' or winflag symbol on it.

Smitjel Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 (edited) Wow, this is the first VS I've downloaded since Kol released his Blue Turquesa VS. Plastik is so usable. The only thing I would change is what Spyglass brought up...move the KDE logo over to the left more and put a hover highlight on it. And like spacey said, what if you did something more original for a start button? Does it have to be KDE? Afterall, it's PlastikXP. Excellent work...just wish there was more quality work like this out. Give it time for people to submit accessories (walls, winamp, etc) and this will be a complete project!

oDD Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Excellent work contra! Ive been using it since your first release and I love it. There is one bug that really 'bugs' me. ;) If you could fix it that'd be ace. You can see from the screenshots below that in a fair few applications the combo boxes don't draw correctly, where they should (Luna seems to be able as is shown in the last picture). Microsoft Office 2003: and Firefox: and Neowin Search in Firefox: Luna seems to be able to skin them fine: Thanks.

Guest Ryan Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I would love even more colors. :yes: You can never have enough colors. :) My only complaint is I think the fonts used make stuff look too big, or wide. Like in the menus for example. If that could be fixed I'd enjoy using this theme even more. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177510-plastik-for-windows/page/4/#findComment-2303392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 i havent asked the permission (do i need to do it ?) i ve changed some fonts, and only basic colorcheme is left so every button and text should be OK for everyone now download and try, i made it for myself. but hope someone will like it donwload from attach or http://mp3scene.meoko.com/temp/pxp Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177510-plastik-for-windows/page/4/#findComment-2303561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
