Ok, so most of these look like font gliches. I did re-add tahoma as an alternative font. Set it to "Large Fonts" to switch to Tahoma. It would be nice to have it actually say Tahoma, but I've never sat down and figured out how to do that. Anyway, I think this should fix most (all?) of the problems you posted, save maybe the last one. I still like tahoma even if some button text gets cropped, but maybe I should have it set to Tahoma by default? Hope that helps, and as always suggestions are welcome.

Oh ya, and thanks Suicide for the quick response :).

Other bugs:

1. Extra large fonts setting is missing a bitmap for the close button and uses the Verdana font, which causes font bugs:

2. This might be just a Firefox bug, scroll-list buttons look like they're cutoff on three sides:

3. In the black style, which I don't know if anyone actually uses, the unselected window's min/max button has a single pixel border on the inside:

4. One thing I really would like fixed is to move the tasktray icons down so they don't come so close to the top edge of the tray:

The startbutton looks like it's coming off the top edge too.

Requests:

1. Make quick launch text on the taskbar black for all styles:

I'm gonna start jumping people's cases if they don't use www.imageshack.us alternatively for screenshot posting. I have seen quite a few broken links and 404 errors browsing these forums, and this day and age, screenshots should not be broken or 404ed! :angry:

About the skin: no comment

I can't see it due to frackin 404.

Is it that hard to visit deviantart.com and see the image there? http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8066296/

The original post is nearly a year old, lots of thing could have happened to the pics from then.

Is the tray icon bug fixed? Does the tray look like what you have in the screenshot or is that an applet of somekind?

I use the Plastik and Slate colors if that helps you decide on which colors to fix. :D

Btw, Deviantart.com is the best place to host this.

Anyway, nice work.

Tray icons fixed, i hope :)

(That's the gant volume icons there, no apllet or smth)

Small list of changes:

-Tray "buttons" -a lot thinner

-Fonts, most of them

-Captions, smaller too

-Start Button

-Shellstyle (some style i had lying around, don't like it, kill it)

I'd like to make the scrollbars thinner too, but when i do that, the stripes on them dissapear (i'm no stylebuilder expert). Some help maybe ?

At least now it's a perfectly usable theme... :p

I'll post it on deviantart when it's done.

Thanks for the positive relpys...

Cheers

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
