Watercolor v4.3

[Animaniac]

- text is closer to the margins, in both the taskbar and start menu now.

- highly optimised, still some more to go.

Can we see those in the regular verion? :pinch:

If nobody has any issues with different screen res. yes.

Chris

[elocal]

awsome, PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tran]

Don't have any issues with screen res here.

Don't have any issues with screen res here.

some people may experience difficulties with this version because of numerous 'workarounds' I have done, higher screen resolutions may cause bugs, I'll have to wait and see what people say after I release it.

[Tran]

Ah I see you where you are going with this. Problems because their res might be too big or too small etc. If that's not what you mean than... but I understand. My screen res is 1024x768 so I hope that is good enough.

It's finished, I'll just have to wait till Alex puts his server up again, and I will also call my ISP tomorrow. Plus I need a break! ;)

Only few more hours, then everything will be fine and stability beyond dreams from then on out.

[dysektor]

Sounds great, Chris. Looking forward to coming releases.

i love the slim taskbar one. i done like thin taskbars bc they are too thin, but this seems lie k a perfect size.

what u shoulddo is keep the two the same but when it comes time for a release just changed make a new theme and just change the taskbar in it so everytihn is the same but taskbar with around same amount of work. if that made ne sencse

i can host. no problem. i can be the main server if you want it to be. fast. reliable. etc.

anyways. i LOVE the new start image. the black windows flag owns. but is there anyway you can make the gray theme thin? that is the one i use. :cry:

[RaQ]

:cry: why everybody want to host binary? hes not having host problems. the links were taken off when he got fustrated ok? plain and simple. :cry:

Also binary's account is now fully working and has a whoppin 50mb of space :D, :-P he only had 4mb before but I gave him a bit extra! :D

[andy_rose]

Thank god! I just downloaded it from the main server just a few minutes ago! Oh yes, another suggestion. I don't know if I already mentioned this but I wonder if it would alright if you can add a bit of color to the taskbar to match the color of the visual style?

yeah i agree. would be cool with a blue taskbar for the blue scheme etc.

Guys, i love the theme, downloaded it, installed it etc... but it doesnt work... i get the classic windows interface...

Im new to themes etc in windows so can anyone tell me if i need to tweak any files or other?

Kind regards,

Raptor

I believe you'll need the uxtheme.dll patch. There are links for the patch in the Customizing Windows XP forum right at the top.

Binary,

Will the new version update Ergonomic to use Tahoma as the font on buttons (like Blue)?

Does anyone else have problems resizing midi windows in Photoshop and other applications with this Visual Style? If I change the style while the app is open, it works fine, but if I open the app after the style has been changed, all I can resize is the height.....

I'll be fixing that. And yes watercolor lite has fixed that issue.

This has ben mentioned many times throughout the thread. You can resize by using the left hand side of the window,or the very upper right corner of the window (once the window is more than 125 pixels large you can resize anywhere ). I might be fixing this issue, but the fix might make the theme look wierd.

Thanks for the reply, I'm sure you can appreciate not reading through all 42 odd pages!

Perhaps a new thread is in order... :-D
