What should real Aero UI be like?

[fires]

like digital freedoms so called photoshop mockup

[AQUaDeX]

Aero mock-ups? Naah, seriously, even this is better

[Windows X]

But how could we make real thing from mock up? Glass transparency is not possible atm. btw, I wanna see DF's work in psd :)

[Dr]

Yes because you want to rip his graphics out and make another theme and claim it was ALL yours and then go rant to others how they've riped you.

Stop that hell flaming, knight. That's useless garbage to do. If you don't stop that sh*t, I'll report admin to give you a present. You never get what I was trying to tell you. It seems like all of my explaination is retard for likes of you (Or real retard is not my post because someone get it and clear)... About DF's work, I just want to know how could he make almost real Aero transparency. It really looks like original. And I'll ask him myself if I want to make theme for ppl who want and also him of he allow me to.

The adjective "pretentious" has 4 senses in WordNet

3. ostentatious (vs. unostentatious), pretentious -- (intended to attract notice and impress others; "an ostentatious sable coat")

4. ostentatious, pretentious, kitsch -- (of a display that is tawdry or vulgar)

[Windows X]

I never claim Longhorn look at all! If I did, find my post and link me there!!! :mad:

[Piepke]

Another pointless thread by WindowsX... Why don't you go back to the "Why doesn't anyone like me" - thread you created. Jeez, I realy don't know what's wrong with you but your posts are starting to annoy me lately, and I don't get annoyed very soon...

[Windows X]

I get annoyed too but it's not me who started this mess. I just want to make thread to know what ppl think about Aero and then some of guys like that come to flame me about Longhorn. I wonder why they did something like that too. I can't find any reason and then I get mad, crazy, insane, etc.

Dear flamer, what do you want from me for posting that sh*t? Tell me and I'll do it for you if I can. I'm tired of this and I wanna leave it!!!

this (someone needs to make this exact thing for the 4074 build)

or this (well i know its not possible bit as close to it as can be done (most of the time you do a good job windowsX :D ))

WOOT! :woot: That looks awesome (I mean second one) I think I can make close port for first one as new Aero Slate theme in Longhorn Aero. Second one will be nwe theme using name of this thread when it's done. Maybe "Aero UI"

I think that one looks bright than Slate (Well, good for other ppl's taste who like brighter Slate) Cpationbar from shot came before Inspriat but I think stefanka's one looks cooler IMO although I don't like button pic into captionbar background.

Hey WindowsX, you're a master of skinning :p

you can easily do that I think

that looks awesome

i also like you're second mock

Thank you :) Just stuffs from Longhorn's fan to another Longhorn's fan. btw, we need to accept about captionbar button in Aero. It looks suck in artistic way. We need a new type of it but I don't have any idea about it right now :blush:

[Probot]

I don't like so much this buttoms

but maybe redifining them would take out the longhorn look like type

it should be difficult for people who uses mora than 1024x768 to hit that buttoms

or maybe it could be moved downside

well it is just ideas im thinking

:p

I spend a little time fooling around in fireworks MX for this.

Ive based my mockup on: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews..._keynote_01.jpg

and

http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews..._keynote_02.jpg

Both very blurred and stuff. So ive tried to recreate as much as i can, i also noticed some of the images taken show a frosted glass effect on the title bars that distort the items behind it, ive also tried to recreate that.

Ok here goes;

So what should we do? Make larger button?

KoL, use glyphs from Jade and desaturate it. I'm working on this one too and looks far finished. Hope members won't flame me if I release it after KoL (About September).

Wow! Nice mock up :) Can you share us psd file to find possible way to make VS? It's OK if you don't want to share it.

the problem was with the position, but after a lot of hours I finally got them in the right position. I just need to move the close glyph 1 pixel up.

Looks nice :) I like your shellstyle. It would be great if you could make caption pic to whole group (Hope you'll get what I mean) I need to try mocking my Aero prototype to find way making it well for my further Longhorn works. Here's what I've done so far for Aero UI (Hope large text and caption bar will solve problem for ppl who use higher resolution and large text looks close to real Aero anyway)

[Stylez Ray.]

nice one KoL, do you plan to release the style??
