finality Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Awesome, but the start button is hideous =x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agt Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plarkster Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornett Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 OK, regarding the start button then, anybody got any ideas? I wasn't too sure about it myself. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLaren_F1 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 pretty nice. make the start button Smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadeater Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 The startbutton is, uh, not so good. :ninja: EDIT: Oops, didn't see everyone wrote this already. You can ignore this if you want. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eNeon Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Nice work dude, startbutton doesn't rawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapster Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 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.

Zapster Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Oh yeah, almost forgot. I really like the little red "dot" in the active taskbar button. A very nice touch indeed and useful. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggrophobik Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornett Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 (edited) 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...

aggrophobik Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 In my opinion it fits the VS much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornett Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 In my opinion it fits the VS much better. Well that's good because I've put it into version 1.1 ! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16897361/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodwork Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Give it some thin title bars and a thin taskbar and I'd use it :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P!P Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 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. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r4esh Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Make it a thinner taskbar. I like it though, it's nice and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapster Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Nice start button mod. As for the taskbar, "thinner and this will be a winner". Great work so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roxor Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 the fat windowsflag startbutton is a bit too much. resize it. otherwise quite nice and useable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
