Mad_Griffith Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I think that your work, em3, is still an idea (a very good idea). I hope you'll keep on working on that longhornish caption bar so that it has LE "classic colours". I think that way the theme will eventually turn out to be perfect. Sorry for my english.

alpha_omega Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 @alpha_omega: The window is active. LOL! I thought it was inactive because the start menu was open. Now, this looks even worse... :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/349876-wip-luna-element-4/page/5/#findComment-586299403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
root Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The idea you have is good, but the contrasting between the colors needs to be improved. I don't think that the light blue goes too well with the dark blue. The white background of explorer does not work with the dark blue. Also, work on the boarder of the windows, the beveled look it has now kinda has an unclean, unrefined feeling to it when you are using the light blue. The orange text is definatly out of place. Good work though, some minor adjustments will make this a really great theme.

em3 Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'm starting to agree on some coloring issues. I will do my best to improve it. Orange text will remain though. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/349876-wip-luna-element-4/page/5/#findComment-586299486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

klop Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Looks pretty nice but I prefer the orignal blue one. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/349876-wip-luna-element-4/page/5/#findComment-586299497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropyx Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 looks good. i would like a version w/ the regular caption buttons but that may be asknig too much. the reason i dont use the other version of the luna element is because the buttons on the task bar look bad but the ones in this one look great.

Quillz Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I personally am not a fan of the light blue borders, but the design looks great. I think it would look cool if the borders were black or a gray of some degree.

Mad_Griffith Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 That is way better, but I personally don't like the light blue of the caption bar. I think is inappropriate, having in mind the "history" of LE. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/349876-wip-luna-element-4/page/5/#findComment-586299766 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhangm Supervisor Posted July 30, 2005 Supervisor Share Posted July 30, 2005 I have to admit, I liked the original look better. Have you considered doing a 2px border as opposed to a standard 4px border VS?

em3 Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 @Mad_Griffith: I just wanted to try something new, and I think it turned out really good. The old LE style will still be available if you like it better. ;) @toledo64fx: It's far from ready even though it might look like it's finished. Beta might be available in a month.

zeph Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'd prefer LE3's more flat titlebar isntead of the more rounded-type. Like just the way it looks it looks roundish, I don't know I can't explain it exactly. Other than that, it looks great so far!

I just would like you to make a work more balanced between originality and links to the "old" style ;) As I said in previous posts, I think you have found the right way to originality (which is the most difficult part of conceiving a theme, I think). :yes: Good luck, remember you're the man. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/349876-wip-luna-element-4/page/5/#findComment-586300079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoS Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 wowowow!!!!! I reaaaaaally liked Mist, and I believe all themes done by you can become acceptable with a few changes, as you are probably one of the best style artists ever, and I feel that you know what people want when you do your work. just a question, you'll let the normal version still available, right? I'd like to be able to choose between them. thanks for all the good work, please hold the theme a little bit more, I wanna get to try to make my wallpaper also ^^ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/349876-wip-luna-element-4/page/5/#findComment-586300081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
