Plastik for Windows

[jmc777]

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.

This doesn't look very well..

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. :)

Extra large fonts

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.

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!

i don't think that would help contra too much. seeing he won't have any idea what the program is since the only clue is the icon

This is nice indeed.

First change since HmmmXP.

Maybe a new "sticker-around" for me ;)

Good job :cool:

[Sietse Veteran]

Where are my icons? (MSN Messenger send file window)

And btw, is it possible to align the window header text to the left? The centered text is really (N)

Hey, nice work I like it, My first change since Inspiriat

[.KICK]

Looks very cool (Y):D

[Guest Ryan]

Don't forget OldeCrow and I helped fix one of the bugs. :rolleyes: ;) :p

[oDD]

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.

1) the best vs ever imo

2) using it since its beta

3) still too much bugs to fix

bigups & respect contra

continue workout please

[Guest Ryan]

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

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

the theme is gpl so no you don't have to ask, but basically you did nothing to change the theme. :blink:

seems like the only thing you did was change the fonts to tahoma and if you read the readme you can do that by changing the font size to "extra large" (i haven't gotten around to renaming it "tahoma fonts") i appriciate the work but its almost useless since the feature is already there.

[markus10018]

PlastikXP is a great skin for eyeryday use. Thanks Contra.

I especially like the Luna version with xl fonts (tahoma)...

i just made them a bit smaller -> so they fit well now

and i havent changed all vs font to tahoma, i ve changed only thouse witch dont fit normally in some apps

(buttons, tabs, combo, listboxes etc to tahoma 8)

you re right, i havent changed anything to the style generally

i made it for myself.

<<--- thats the main thing

This is nice, thanks :yes:

But, in my opinion, it would be better with a Windowflag in the startbutton :rolleyes: :)

[nmeu]

i really don't like the little 'K' on the start menu... tacky yuck... what does K have to do with windows.. sorry .. seems kinda lame... i love this theme in kde.. and would use it in windows.. but.. i can't do with that kay thing...
