Watercolor v4.3

[kainashi]

either stylexp or uxtheme.dll patched is needed. ;)

I've been reading what you all have been saying about a "thin taskbar watercolor" and I'm wondering if when you all say that do you mean editing the taskbar to look like the watercolor theme? If so that would be tite, I would love to see an edited taskbar to go along with the theme, a matter of fact that is the one major reason why I get sick of the current watercolor theme, the taskbar is too bland for me.

That would be an awesome idea Binary, get to work! ;)

No, they mean to make it smaller like 18 pixels or something...

I for one say leave the taskbar the thickness it is. I hate thin taskbars. At 1600x1200 they're way too tiny.

But I would love to see some of the graphic treatment of the caption bar worked into the taskbar. A little.

I understand if you want to keep it "true" Whistler, though.

But the tray chevron is a bit ugly... I'd like to see that changed along with perhaps the tray (clock) area...

But this is a killer theme, don't feel pressured to muck it up!

[kainashi]

there would still be the thick taskbar version too. i'd love to see a thin taskbar for it. :D

[Binary]

Ok I will make 2 versions for now, a small taskbar and the current one. First of all, I need to know how "small" you guys feel it should be, then I need someone to tell me how to do it ;) I've never made a small one, and I've tried briefly without success. So, anyone wanna teach me? :D (msn me tomorrow, I'm busy tonight, or send me an email with instructions :)) I hope it's not too much work, cause remember there are 4 substyles, and I have a job, so my time is limited to evenings and weekends now.

thin like saint dark's k10k 2 and samara themes. i'm sure he could tell you how to do it too. thanks for trying a thin taskbar. :D

[kainashi]

can't seem to edit my post but i wanted to add that it should be just thick enough for a system tray outline, like the original version. just a little. :D

Binary,

do you think it would be alot of work to skin the task bar to match the theme?

[Jessterw]

The task bar does match the theme... or do you mean the Windows Explorer task pane?

[Binary]

Binary,

The goal was authenticity, once the theme is as bug free as I can get it, and as authentic to the original, then I may experiment with a watercolor+ version or something. But not right now, I'm just too busy.

*and for those who say it's bug free, I still have a few things that need taking care of.*

what I'm reffering to and what I'd love to see is the task bar skinned to match the title bars, that would be awesome.

[Billo3121]

I submitted my skin to Cerulean and still they haven't posted it. I am getting upset. I bet they think it's a rip or something.

[Rudy]

i'd say you should make the taskbar the same size as the one from classic (no theme)

yeah, that would be good. :)

[Prash]

I know what your talking about, but I wont do that right now. Maybe in the future. Like I said, I'm just too busy.

Binary,

That fine, no rush on it.. just thought I'd give you my wish to be done on the Watercolor theme. I do feel that your theme is by far one of the best produced themes out there, I have always liked it and it's been on my computer for some time now. Excellent job with it mate :)

Ok i love this theme but i can't fathom what there is to talk about with this theme that takes 28 pages !!! for crying out loud its Watercolor, its great, everybody has it , what the else is there move on already ... ;)

Let's see... bug reports, point releases, comments, suggestions, etc. Is there something wrong with people maintaining interest in this visual style? You have a problem with it obviously so why don't you just "move on already ... ;)"?

cuz with help from users... products become better... through bugfixes, features and what not. this could be the best theme period.

Very nice! :yes: :yes:

Maybe you can get ride of the white margin, dunno.

[Toxikk Veteran]

i can do lots of things. do you mean at the top?

[Toxikk Veteran]

no comments... i got the dynamic stylesheet switcher in. please let me know if you see any bugs. note: i still need to compress the art more. if you find a bug, please tell me what browser you are using and what you are seing so i can fix it. i think it looks good, but i need more feedback. my host is fast and should be able to handle any traffic that comes to it. i hope to add downloads and such soon.

[Billo3121]

That's a real good idea Toxikk, maybe you can put my Trillian Skin up on the site.
