[WIP] [WB] Marina

What about Bitstream Vera Sans as a font? But I'm not sure if it'll look good at that small size without cleartype.

Looks somewhat bad too :o it isnt as uniform as frutiger , I will just leave it like this for now :(

I like this, a lot.

It's rather compact, yet maintains a rather functional interface.

I am saying about for the people who dont need to use cleartype (LCD's)[notme] what font should I add for them, since frutiger will look ugly for those people  :ninja:

for example you can tell which one has cleartype and which one doesnt:

Ok I don't get it..

I have a LCD monitor and find clear type wat better than normal font

in which case clear type should be disabled with lcds?

Cleartype makes it render like a double font :woot: , one like blurred down the text (called sub-pixel font rendering), so it's tighter, LCD's have a pixel-pixel technology that in the normal way the font is done, it will be like only those pixels filled and wont give the 'Curve'? get me? So a shadow can fix it, thats where cleartype idea comes from, in using a shadow to gain the curve effect, for example most CRTs dont have the pixel-pixel that defined since the cathodic ray spreading and the glass and all that[not really sure, but you will get my ideas anyway](CRT's cant get dead pixels for example)

Btw, cleartype is recommended (must) for LCD's if that answers your question, whats weird about that frutiger font in that small size, is that Cleartype makes it crispier and even thiner than non cleartype one, So thats why I was asking for a font for to use for non cleartype users, for it to at least dont look as thick as it does without cleartype enabled and jagged :x

Thta's the pixel 'shadow' i was explaining magnified

AFAIK, most CRT users have clear-type enabled as well. I know I do, and it does make a difference.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

ahh thanks a lot for the explanation koopey

I appreciate it

I'll keep my clear type enabled then

I specially like Lucida console, ms reference sans serif and HandelGotDLig and all of them look crapy without

clear type enabled.

Frutiger, Nu, and probably will use cure for small, btw, I just ended with a weird normal shellstyle instead :rofl:

[Bloodwork]

Nice, I was hoping you'd keep Frutiger in it (Y)

Near final default Marina (but shaded) preview added to first post in this thread :x

[OmART]

I need -only one- person that would really have time to try to find bugs in Marina Final beta, before i start doing the bunch of substyles, so I need to find all graphics bugs if there are any left, it currently has Normal, Shaded, Thick Normal, Thick & Shaded :wacko: those are all the graphics it will need, the rest substyles are variations that just need a part in strings changed.

So Since i only need one person that will really do it, PM me, but if you think it will take you long time to debug the whole skin dont PM me, so It gets done faster :sleep:

[Scott Evo]

Can't wait anymore. :(

[OmART]

Good news for dark users, it works well with black even with my coloring masks, woodbridge might refine them more :) so it will even look better, fired the gamma a little up and used black :woot:

[Bloodwork]

:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: Hope it's coming real soon

[OmART]

I hope all of you post in the forum when it's released :whistle: btw woodbridge alredy did the good colorization masks, and it looks really good, i give it a week max :sleep:
