I like the bigger ones, can see why Mini-mals would like them smaller but as far as long term useabilty.. just to dang small.

Your not saving any screen real eastate by making them so small so i honestly dont see the advantage of not using at least a tad more of the space alotted.

Sometimes i wonder if a lot of Mini-mals use 1024 res. as i have perfect eyesight and at 1280 res. items such as the current Cap. buttons seems tiny to me.

Still waitin on those fries btw.. :p

b0se, ignore him. Your doing a good job. It is your theme and you have listened to a lot of what different members have asked and or suggested and you have even implemented things without straying from your vision of this theme. You even took the time to explain why you did not want to do what he was suggesting and that should have been good enough for him. I for one thank you for even taking the time to do this for the community.

By the way, the icon set I use is the luna alt ip theme and it goes REAL well with this.

Speaking of that icons set, for some reason, they don't load in IconPackager. I get an error.

b0se, you know what else I noticed? In Internet Explorer, on the toolbar, the show more commands (for the back, forward, etc. buttons) show up as circles. However, the one for the mail button shows up as the standard down arrow.

Not sure if this was already mentioned.

There is a line when it comes to updating from user requests, which I've just passed. Not even sure if I like the new slightly larger caption buttons. What you think?

In fact I think the small one look perfectly when I'm at work (1280x1024 on a 19" LCD), but I think the big ones could look better on my home screen (1600x1200 on a 19" CRT). Maybe release the two version like you did with colored/uncolored buttons in Code Opus.

Your great theme made me change from gfxOasis, nice work. You and KoL are the best style designer from my point of view.

hm.. the bigger boxes do not fit at all. b0se you're the ultimate last voice in what goes in the final theme, but don't give up on the user base just yet. there's a few of us left that'll give a few good opinions that you yourself might include or change.

Thanks for support (Y)

I use 1280 also, and have no problems using the caption buttons.

WA and Trillian skins are all underway; patience, grasshopper :?)

I can't fix the caption button alignment on system windows, and I'm getting rather bored of trying. To be perfectly honest - it's hardly noticeable. Other than that, I'm close to fixing all the other bugs.

After that, colours!
