Bose personally I prefer the old orange taskbar in the first post, more original for me...do you think to leave it as a sub-scheme?

Think he is going to relase it later on as somekind of add on.

I myself would like to use the original one, with the same font as in the teaser.

Thanks for all the kindness! Makes me feel very welcome indeed :?)

I've had a change of heart, going to revert to the old taskbar. Will look better with the other colours (black, blue, green etc). Whoever said that the taskbar was inbalanced - you are right. That sys tray was a placeholder as I've used Luna as the base theme this time, to keep compatibility as high as possible.

Yes, the fonts in the teaser will be used, and included in the release.

bant: Cheers :?)

I know that the start button at the moment is a place holder, but will the final button will either contain the windows flag or the word start? I don't know if a simple shape or symbol would look good, I think it would leave the taskbar bare.

Also the emboss effect on the taskbar I'm not to keen on, I think the original task bar with the Luna type plastic effect alone is nicer. Glad you've changed the min,max and close buttons to the default symbols too, much nicer imo.

GJ so far :)

I really dig the start button b0se! :D

Don't really like the small bar below the start bar though. It pushes up the icons a bit too much imo.

Also not really sure about the hover gradient. I miss the gloss effect on that one. And the tray button to the right, could use a little less drop shadow :p

Looks great, although I think a variation of the winflag on the start button would look much better. Of course I could always create my own if need be. I like the fact you went back to the old taskbar. (Y)

Edit: I just noticed the small bar along the bottom of the taskbar, I think you should get rid of it too. :D

The bar stays - its nice. You have to use the theme to feel how it works...

1. The gloss is removed from the hover to make it more prominent. I like it that way. Considering how long you see hover states for you can just live with it :?)

2. No wingflag I'm afraid.

3. The icons are perfectly centered. I like the way they 'sit' int he lower bar. Check the very first proto - that was always my intention.

4. I will edit the shadow on the systray button, but thats not essential and hence low down on the list.

5. Caption glyphs are not centered on purpose. I like it that way, makes them look more tangiable. You'll get used to it.

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
