Watercolor v4.3

[Animaniac]

I "may" have fixed your menu arrow bug animaniac.

And I can make the items closer, but I just dont think it looks right, because the highlight will just miss the top and bottom of full 16 pixel icons.

Like this:

Ohhh, that's much better. But you're right, it's cutting it close, is there any middle ground?

Edit: I'm running on 1400x1050, maybe that is the cause?

Does 4.3 fix the other "issue" (it's not really a bug...) of too much spacing in the taskbar? See attachment.

I'll fix that for next build I guess, though mine doesnt cut off that much text :blink: Maybe it is your wierd res causing the problems, I run it at 1024x768, and I also checked 800x600, which also seems to be fine. At higher res' everything gets squished looking, but thats prolly cause my 17" monitor isnt meant to use that res :) So did it fix the arrow bug?

[kainashi]

I'm running 1400 * 1050 on 14.1" FP ~_~ It's actually very nice, clean and crisp. ^_^

As to the arrow issue... yes and no... :pinch:

The shellstyle of 2419 was the same as included, I was going to just go with that, but I will change them if I get some ideas as to how they should look. I have an idea, I might include it in another build.

that would be cool... maybe have it as a file that we can swap if we wanna use it??

4.3's great!

[skaught]

I've having problems... when I select the Watercolor themes from the Display Properties, I get no window preview, nor does the style change when I apply. A blank selection is observed in the Appearance tab, under 'Windows and buttons:"

[skaught]

I'm guessing because I don't have a patched .dll that allows me to load unsigned visual styles?

that would be why.

[skaught]

Where would one go to obtain such a patch?

[Binary]

not to be rude, but are you serious?! Search the forum!, details about patching the XP themeing engine are everywhere! Oh and theres always tgtsoft.com if you want to pay. :)

I've made a Ergonomic Trillian Skin

I am submitting it to Cerulean as I type.

I hope you're ok with it Binary, I forgot to ask :(

[Binary]

thats fine :)

Chris

[anodyne]

billo3121 your skin doesn't show up on trillian's site, have you uploaded it yet? And any chance you'll link to it once its done? I've been waiting for one of these for a verrrry long time :) I tried editing the bitmaps myself but apparently I'm completely inept.

Also I've tried searching and have only found a matching winamp 3 skin (for ergonomic) but only have found winamp 2 skins for the other colors, does anyone know of/have a winamp 2 ergonomic skin?

[Billo3121]

I had to submit it 2x to cerulean, because in one zip, i forgot to take out the psd's, making a large zip. So... temporary hosting:

don't rape it now.

[havyn]

is there an 'official' wa2 skin for this theme?

[Billo3121]

My Trillian skin is updated to v1.2:

Fixed the preview thingy

[anodyne]

Much thanks! All things watercolor (ergonomic :)) are very much appreciated. d

As for the winamp2, I don't know if its official but there is a pack of blue/green/silver out there that is at least a good representation of watercolor. But why no ergonomic??? :\

[Animaniac]

Binary, any news on my two issues?

[Ryu7x]

Wheres the Windows Media Player 8-9 Skin?

If no one makes one i guess I will have to do it. ;)

[lrnecnaecge]

only thing i could possibly want would be an ergonomic skin for winamp2, ergonomic is just so pleasing to my eyes...

[antoxicion]

and the wmp9 skin....... then i would be watercolored completely
