b0se Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Come on guys don't flame KoL, he purely released something he was working on. He didn't have to share it, but thought that some people would appreciate it. Whether you love or hate Longhorn - thats not the point: this was a personal port which he decided to release.

Schmoove Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I agree with you. Longhorn looks suck. If I was MS' fanboy, I'll make exactly port to be like MS. But at least it's combination between Windows and Mac and it's the future of Windows. I've tried to improve crappy design and remove glitches in resources to improve its quality. I like Plex because it's blue (my favourite color) and I've been working so long about year with it before Slate comes (about 13-15 releases for one theme with long changelog). I'm happy with it but at time Slate was released, I refused ppl who requested me to make Slate and tell them someone will make it in no time. I waited about one day but no one. I hate Slate as much as I hate tomato. To come and think of it again, I decided to make Slate port due to purpose I think I have to. I released unofficial one first as original and release it again with Mistic mod. I made exactly mod for 1.0 and no more for accurately work. So I think I'll try making better Slate in the next release. To conclude this, I wanna make Longhorn looks better from **** to something I can accept to use. That's what I meant to do for Longhorn. Since when is the thread suddenly about you? I thought this was KoL's Longhorn thread......

Windows X Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Come on guys don't flame KoL, he purely released something he was working on. He didn't have to share it, but thought that some people would appreciate it.Whether you love or hate Longhorn - thats not the point: this was a personal port which he decided to release. Perhaps he loves KoL's work and respect him too much. Unfortunately, he hates Longhorn looks.

sdb815 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Just because Kol is a good themer does not give him the right to release this atrocious beast. KoL can release whatever the f*ck he wants. I don't like the Longhorn look but a lot of people do, and that's who he made it for. If you don't like it, don't use it. Don't come in here flaming him for releasing something that clearly has a audience just because you don't like it.

bkellner Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 How do you remove the lines in FireFox? :dontgetit: probably use a dark firefox theme.. Oh and KoL, I've been waiting for this theme since I saw your other post. It looked so great.. However, the theme looks much better in your screenshots than on my computer ;) No offense, great work and great port. :yes: I've just been slowly moving away from Longhorn look since Royale look, but these themes are great.

A.K.R. Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I showed my sister the Jade colour scheme in this Windows Theme, but she said that a pink start menu that flows with the rest of the colour scheme will make it look better. Can you set about doing a start menu mod for the Jade colour scheme so that it will match with the rest of the theme?

couture Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I really like this theme, the only complaint i have would be the taskbars. As far as the windows, scroll bars, buttons, etc. I think you did an excellent job. Very quality theme. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/197410-rel-longhorn-for-xp/page/4/#findComment-584278665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshuggah Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I third that. KoL will you make one??:DD would have to make it a 4th one....I know its a direct port, but if it was thinner, it would be completely awesome...I would have to switch to a new theme (this previous one lasted me almost 3 months) :blink:: edit: i cant comprehend my own sentences right now, so i dont know if these make sense at all...too much buddha Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/197410-rel-longhorn-for-xp/page/4/#findComment-584282305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessterw Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I don't know... knowing this is coming from KoL kinda made me expect something more... not sure what, but something that had his creative touch. Don't get me wrong, it all looks generally better than the other Longhorn themes out there... but, well, it still looks like the rest of the Longhorn themes out there for the most part. Which is to say, not anywhere near as nice as everything else KoL has done (and I'm not counting the ports). Anyhow, it's a nice effort and probably works for what it was intended to be... a thumbs up for that. Keep up the all-around good work. Edit: Just so no one misunderstands, I'm not griping about the theme(s) or asking for them to be redone or anything else of the sort. Just offering an opinion to go along with all the "it's wonderful and I want it to have my first born" posts. I'm not knocking KoL's abilities (it'd be hard to do that with his back-log of work), nor am I taking anything away from what this theme is... something KoL wanted and set about doing, something that a lot of people seem to like.

Windows X Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Excuse me. But I think captionbar doesn't look close enough. I compared to Slate and it's all same except button addition as background. I think it would be more closer to real port if you make it from screenshots.
