[release-vs] PxlPlusM


Recommended Posts

PxlPlusM

A 'modern' version of PxlPlus.

And no shellstyle :)

Please read the readme file included in the zip file

Please actually try it out, rather than judge it on the screen shot... It looks better in real life! :)

Download here

:)

Edit: Added picture of theme with normal height taskbar

UPDATE: Added new start button and slimmed down scrollbars!

UPDATE2: Slimmed almost everything down!

UPDATE3: Added thin taskbar!

UPDATE4: Added compact start menu!! + various other fixes (sorry about jpeg quality on preview)

I loved your original PxlPlus ... this is not to my tastes though.

edit - I just tried it and I like the caption bar and buttons. The start button seems a bit bold for such a VS though.

Just as I start using the superb PxlPlus themes again you release a new version!

I actually like it better than I thought I would from the screenshot, but I agree that the start button could be better. Would also prefer a compact start menu and thin taskbar.

Really good first version though, and with a little tweaking could be a killer!

Very nice except for the start button and maybe a thinner taskbar would be nice. The start button is well, too dark green. Almost looks like military OD Green, and doesn't really go well with the blue taskbar (imo).

Otherwise a great job. Thanks for sharing. (Y)

I like it alot, but agree with the masses, the Start button needs some work. It's not horrible, just seems a little big and unpolished to me. Other than that I love the VS, nice work.

Well community, now's your chance to get your own start buttons included in the theme!

Just post them up here and I'll consider them for inclusion. :D

Edit: How does this look? It'll 'glow' slightly on mouseover...

I just downloaded and I'm currently using 1.1. I love this theme. I'd change a few things however, just my opinions.

1) Remove "Start" text from Start menu and simply center Windows icon

2) Slightly light up the taskbar to more of a dark blue hue.

3) Although the red dot idea is unique, I'd like it to highlight the taskbars as you mouseover them.

If you did those, I'd probably use this theme forever. Just my opinions, I'm sure you're sick of ideas. ;)

i'm using it right now, but some changes i'd like to see are thinner taskbar & titlebars, maybe better log off and turn off computer icons, and remove start text from the the start button, and it will be an awesome VS... thanks for it :p
