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.

If you need to host it, email me the file at [email protected] and I will host it for you.

i'm glad you like it...

sorry but only the black and luna substyles have been re-done...

i could do the rest of them too...

escaflo: i'm gonna mail you the current state (beta-sort-of)...

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

all substyles done

no more bold

that's it

my work is done

enjoy

would be nice to make a beige instead of grey plastik...

maybe i'll tinker some more, maybe not...

i'm not gonna post it on deviantart for now, so could someone host it ? (escaflo again? )

mail me

cheers...

:whistle:

    • Who uses Outlook anymore? Seriously. When you have open-source and completely free clients such as Thunderbird, Outlook is really obsolete now.
    • "Low price of just $340" ? I don't think so, especially when these same memories were less than $100 just last year before the AI craze started.
    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
