sdb815 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Awesome job hornett. Just some suggestions, first remove the start button text and make the flag smaller. Second remove the little red dots, if you change those two things it'll be perfect. Again, great job. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachman123 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 (edited) Exactly my type of style! Very nice work indeed... However, for the "alternative" color scheme (or another) could you possibly get rid of the red dot for windows on the task bar and change it to another shade of blue? I don't know if it's just me but it seems like a little too much contrast. Other than that it's always going to be my theme. edit: Just read someone above likes the little red dot. Meh, either way the VS is awesome. Edited April 6, 2005 by zachman123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tahoma Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 outstanding job! i would still like to see a thin taskbar, compact startpanel and 18px captionbars. not sure i like the button mouseovers either, they are almost white and look a bit weird. bit i love this vs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamonds Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 this theme is beautiful, the ONLY problem I have with it is the fat task bar :/ fix that and it will kick element off my desktop :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshirt Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 The start menu taskbar is too thick man. Can you make it more thinner? It would look more minimalistic. The more it is minimalistic, the better it looks imo. It'll look slick and sharp. Plus you will have more space. I have to concur with the others, the start menu logo of windows is too big. I have a suggestion, when you make the taskbar thinner, you can just place the logo on top of it and shave off the top and bottom. Or you can make it smaller. And yeah the taskbar's too big. :D Plus the red dot does not quite mixes with the blue color. :D Other than, superb vs. Thanks man. Waiting for your update. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchmalibu Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 i really love your vs, one of the best since a long time. the only "problem" for me is the taskbar height, really too big. apart from this, everything is really neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samy12337 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 it doesnt work when i double clik it it goes to properties i press ok nothing cums up is it because im using the option *adjust for best performance thing* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imtoomuch Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Overall, I really like the squareness of the theme. I think the active window is too dark, but the colors of the inactive window look good. If you made the current inactive to be the active window I would try it out. The start button could be better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapster Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I like this vs very much, but like others have been saying, the taskbar is still way too thick (too high). Thats the only thing that is keeping me from using this beautiful vs. Hopefully you will fix or at least include a thinner (not so high) taskbar version. I've always liked your vs's, and appreciate all your work and efforts. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 it would be pretty much perfect if you ditched the silly circular warning bulb on the left that cant be spotted easily! sux in msn when someone messages you and u dont notice for ages cos it doesnt flash obviously on the taskbar. sort that out and you're onto a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornett Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 (edited) sux in msn when someone messages you and u dont notice for ages cos it doesnt flash obviously on the taskbar. sort that out and you're onto a winner It's intentional. I designed this theme to be less intrusive than normal ones. It get's incredibly annoying when you're trying to work and people keep making the taskbar flash bright orange or whatever! I like this vs very much, but like others have been saying, the taskbar is still way too thick (too high). Thats the only thing that is keeping me from using this beautiful vs. Hopefully you will fix or at least include a thinner (not so high) taskbar version. The most that can be shaved off is 4 (or is it 8?) pixels and I don't think it will improve the look (also I'd have to redesign the start buttons again). This is also why I don't think I can reduce the size of the scrollbars or titlebar anymore. I don't want to sacrifice functionality for looks in this theme. :) Edited April 6, 2005 by hornett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodwork Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 The title bars look fine, just take a few pixels off the taskbar and it will be usable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapster Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 The title bars look fine, just take a few pixels off the taskbar and it will be usable... 585737268[/snapback] I definitely agree. Maybe 3 or 4 pixels less would make it look much better. (imo) Thanks for considering the change. Again, Great work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
