Can you post a screenshot of your aero skin? Please.

[Mannlich]

agreed, a screenshot of the glass theme would be awesome. Can't wait for the release of this theme.

Wow looking great...

I wonder if it's too late to make a small request.. I think the theme might look better if the 'minimize', 'maximize', and 'close' buttons were squares rather than rectangles.. I just like how it looks more symmetrical in the default XP theme and thought maybe your theme might look better this way.

I don't know, to me the rectangular buttons look a bit odd, I'm not sure if anyone else agrees?

[NienorGT]

So be it...

Heh... you are kidding? :cry:

I hope he was kidding.

About the close, minimize, and maximize buttons: The rectangular icons are the look that the Aero Style sports. WindowsX is trying to make this as close to Longhorn style as possible, that's why he's going with the rectangular buttons.

[Windows X]

btw, I'm seeing it as square. How rectancular?

[+Chsoriano Subscriber²]

The buttons in the Longhorn 5060 screenshots were rectangular, in the Aero theme that was showing off the Glass effects. In 5048 they were square with the red/blue hover glow.

[Windows X]

ic. but glass will be rectancular. btw, could someone send me png shot of control panel in PM, plz?

Here's the titlebar comparison just in case WindowsX. I will try to get a screenshot of the Control Panel for you.

[Windows X]

Someone requested me to make Control Panel looks like this. What do you think?

[+Chsoriano Subscriber²]

It looks ok, but I think for the control panel the design with the bar on the left would be better (and more accurate).

To say it again, I hate lines.

That'll lose bottom pane shellstyle. Can you accept that?

[+Chsoriano Subscriber²]

If that's the visual style in it's current state then most of the things I mentioned have been fixed... love the start button :)

I'm still unsure of the little expand icon for the taskbar though. I don't think it's a triangle like that but I could be wrong. I thought it was still the circle with the two "<<"

I attached a MOCKUP of the Longhorn 5048 control panel, just so you get an idea of how it works, but it's not just the list on the left side, it's a long list of common tasks and stuff like that.

[+Chsoriano Subscriber²]

Ok, I FINALLY got it up and running, let me post those screenshots in the thread for you WindowsX

[+Chsoriano Subscriber²]

control panel screenshot

[Windows X]

I can make that but that'll cost with bottom pane shellstyle.

[+Chsoriano Subscriber²]

sample of shell, I doubt you can get it to look just like this, but here's a sample anyway

[+Chsoriano Subscriber²]

That's what I thought, so you can't modify them separately?

By the way, if you can get the shellstyle to look something like the second screen I posted, that would be awesome, better than the bottom

EDIT: But then again windows like My Computer are different... the tasks were split, some on the bottom, and some on top. Common tasks are on top, details are on bottom.
