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!

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.

Binary,

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

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.*

Chris

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.

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.

Chris

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.

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.

    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
