Here's a little thing I noticed in this style:

The fonts are different in the window text area and on the caption buttons of the original blue style. The other three styles match each other, only the blue is different. This is with the new one, Watercolor 4.3.

I knew about this, I was just too lazy to fix it. shhhhh ;)

I really wish there was someway for the menu highlights to have a border. >.<

NOOOOOOO!!! Not in this version, go post this request in the Watercolor Plus thread.

Chris

Thanks Tim...it's better than nothing man. :D

It's Great!

Nice Work Tim. Fit's in with the whistler style perfectly. Only things I would change are the two sliders, to match the theme better :)

Chris

any chance for the blue taskbar with the white apple?

There will NEVER EVER EVER EVER be an apple on any of my Windows themes, it's Windows FFS!! Not trying to be rude, just trying to get the point across ;) I HATE when people use the apple logo in msstyles, even if it is a mac port.

hahah good one, :laugh:

Tim: do you have a set i can load into the msstyle through reshacker. like xxx.bmp or whatever.

not yet but i'll work on something, want to see whats going on this this watercolor plus first :)

whoa, ok dont go nuts but come on even you must admit Windows machines are just fugly as hell. But then again people who use computers for a "practical use" dont seem to care, god mine as well give em a god damn console. I'd still like to see the blue thin taskbar even with a white windows sign in it, something other then the boring windows taskbar. It just reminds me of being stuck in a monotone cubicule for the rest of your life. :no:

hmmm like I said I was just getting a point across, I wasnt trying to be mean :) Why have apple logos plastered all over a windows machine? It just doesnt make sense. And no, I nor any other people in this part of the forum are likely to say windows is fugly. We love customizing our machines to make them look good, and thats why we are here. Thats an insult saying our OS is ugly :( At least windows is way more customizable than OS X ;). Not trying to start an OS war, but it's true. And I'd much rather have Watercolor than Aqua. Pinstripes can get annoying after awhile. In any event, tacking on an Apple logo to watercolor wont make it look any better, so I strike down the suggestion of any apple logos in my theme! ;) :p

i just installed the lastest version but i still have the problem ive attached a pic of the prob in the pic all of those startup items are selected but only the one ive selected shows

Yeah I have the checkbox issue too - on my laptop - which doesnt have the same color depth as my tower boxes - that is my biggest gripe about WC cos my laptop gets as much usage as my other machines - and this is a bummer

ok binary so you think its only a coincidence that you and a very small group of other people are the only ones not using icons or theme designed for macs. I dont want to insult YOUR os but i'll insult the hell out of mine. The way windows was origionally designed was all monotone with no sence of color, it was designed to stick somone in an office and keep them consentrated on work without any other stimulis to be creative, its designed for monkeys. And now with luna they attempt to give a splash of color to the user but even it looks god awful, the only reason why i use a pc is because everything works with it, unfortunatly since people have some sort of bias to macs theres not much out there for them.

A large number of people here use watercolor, and other non mac styles. And an even larger number use luna, because they dont know about skinning. Don't get me wrong I love mac's and I am going to buy one. However a windows theme doesnt need apple logos on it when it is on a windows machine. I dont mind an apple logo in an Objectbar theme, but thats because it is meant to precisely mimic the mac menubar, wheras there is no start menu on a mac, so the start button should not be an apple imo. Like I said before, replacing a flag with an apple doesnt make any difference to the visual quality of the skin, slapping a mac logo on a skin doesnt make it look better.

Chris

I have seen them somewhere in this thread or an older watercolor thread, try the search feature "watercolor winamp" :)

    • If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
    • It's actually shocking how logs filling disks has been a constant issue going back for decades, yet we see very little improvement over the years. Even in the server world, its actually shockingly common for a server to either go totally down, or have a critical alert raised due to logs filling disks.
    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
