Awsome work. I love this skin.

[TexasFlood]

Nice, very nice.

The "bue-grey" colour should be a bit more neutral though.

[Valkyre]

I'm sorry, "bue-grey"? I'm assuming you meant "blue-grey", in which case I'd again ask for clarification. I don't remember the theme having any blue in it, besides the help button. I'd check your monitor's color capability first.

I modded the VS by placing a Vista shellstyle. maybe a nice standard option. If you need the shellstyle...just let me know.

Nice theme. very balanced and ergonomic in use of colors.

this is an excellent visual style. however i could not seem to resize windows by the top corners. its very annoying and preventing me from using this VS. other than that the rest of the skin is amazing.

Argh!! I have the exact same problem. Prior to reinstalling windows, this skin worked fine for me, but now it sets the windows classic theme... Anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks,

Great News! This is an ecellent theme!!! When do you expect to release it? Any new changes expected?

[Valkyre]

I have 3 new themes in the works. Black Mesa v3, and two other original themes. No ETA, but don't expect it too soon. ;)

Such a tease you are... :p

There's a problem i get with Black Mesa V2 and with firefox Options Window. Bascially the buttons do not fit into the window, they are half visible.

[sic-clown]

GOD I love this VS. One of the best I've ever seen. Thank you so much! :)

Hey,

I dont feel like browsing the entire topic for this. I found something that might be a bug.

In SOME applications when howering or clicking on the upper menu (File, Edit, View, etc.)

the spot behind the text becomes discolored. I append a picture which describes the problem.

I foudn this problem in WMP, WML (Windows Messenger Live), Miranda IM...

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I just figured out how to fix the menu bar color problem today. It's not part of the style itself, it's part of the theme file and somehow it's set to the wrong color.

Go to Display Properties | Appearance | Advanced. From the "Item" pulldown select "Menu" and click "Color 1"

The colors provided by the style itself should show up in the bottom 4 boxes of the simple pallette that pops up. Selecting the farthest to the left should fix it.

On a similar topic:

Bug that annoys me with Black Mesa v2 is that it doesn't show up under the "Windows and buttons" pulldown like the rest of my visual styles (even 3rd party), I have to get to it using the included theme. Anybody know how to fix this?

P.S. I modded Black Mesa v2 a bit to my own liking in terms of fonts used (I found them a bit large/cumbersome and that W's got chopped off in the Start Menu, etc.) and a few other minor details. If anyone's curious, I've uploaded it here.

P.P.S. What ever happened to valkyre and Black Mesa v3? Is he okay? Does anybody know?
