Well, I've come to really like these new captions. So I think you should all try them :p

I'll add both RC1 and RC2 to the next release, so you can tinker between them as you see fit.

The new caption button has become the hover, with the old style default. (Y)

That sounds like a fair trade off.

It's very beautiful b0se. However, the cobobox (dropdown) button is still missing in Firefox and in other applications. I remeber when I asked you to fix this in OpusOS 1.5 and Codename: Opus, you said that Firefox, and et. al. can't draw rounded glyph (or button, whatever it is called). This time, they are rectangular, and they still aren't drown right. Plus there are many more bugs. Have a look at the screenshot bellow, which shows how the app looks in Kol's Olive Verde and XPM Classic. I know that you want this theme to be very usable. It can be. Please fix them. It is clearly a theme problem.

It has to be usable by everybody. It if itsn't, then what is the point?

Thank you for taking the time to make a potentially great theme.

Thanks for the feedback (Y)

Spooky, thanks for the bug report, but:

Bit of a pointless comment considering this is the RC1 release, in which I released deliberately to find bugs :?)

Where can I get that application? It seems that the erroneous buttons are because it can't seem to handle them being PNG format.

The combo because are because of the way the app renders them. I'll be trying a technique that sort this out while keeping the style.

what is the best font to use with this visuals style ? what font is everyone using ?

That's all down to preference.

I can tell you that the final version will have these three fonts:

Trebuchet MS

Tahoma

Bet Stream Vera Sans (will supply with theme)

I will be adding Bit Stream because it is a very nice True Type font with native Anti-Aliasing.

Hey b0se,

first off nice theme I really like!

Secondly, don't now if you already know but, there seems to be problems with the buttons!

See here

Before the mouse moves over the buttons:

After the mouse moves over the buttons:

Example is WindowsUpdate V6, but Allway Sync (app) has the same problem!

Best regards,

Damn cool opera skin, Too bad i use Firefox:(

Thats not a skin, it's Opera using the Windows Native 'theme', i.e. skinned by XP. I used it instead of FF as it draws combo boxes correctly :?)

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
