[adamrobertt]

Is there any way you could release a substyle with a normal sized titlebars?

[outokainen]

Really nice, loving it!

What he said. The overall feel is amazing beyond that.

[vimkid]

Very good ^^

[GatorV]

It's great but as they said, maybe a sub-style with normal sized title bars will be AWESOME

Some things:

Menus are not readable (gray bg - gray text :s) (only in FF for now)

The highlite color in the taskbar feels out of the theme, maybe have them some kind of gray would sit better

I really love your theme it's great (Y)(Y)(Y)

Same here...what userchrome change can be made to get rid of the light text problem in Firefox (well, at leats it's a problem for me)?

[Brandon]

woah thats awsome - keep up the good work

[savourymonkey]

Try this in your userchrome:

/* Menu text colour */

menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive=true][open=true] {

color: #333 !important;

font-weight: normal !important;

and

/* Menu text colour */

menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive=true] {

color: #333 !important;

font-weight: normal !important;

and

/* Menu text colour */

menubar > menu {

color: #333 !important;

font-weight: normal !important;

very kool, im getting it now, cheers for the nice work

[mcgwire3]

sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I find the userchrome.

[savourymonkey]

Go into control panel>folder options and make sure 'show hidden folders' is checked.

Now, for most people, you can find it here:

C:/Documents and Settings/Your Username/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/wierdnumbers and letters/Chrome

and the file is called Userchrome.css.example. Open in notepad, and paste my text ABOVE the @namespace line, then save the file and delete the .example from the file name.

Ta Da!

If it doesn't work for any reason, post back, and we'll try to figure it out. My own firefox skin will be released next week, so that might be helpful, as it won't have any menu issues.

[1WayJonny]

Your comments in deviant art about what people think are funny as hell has nothign to reall do with the skin LOL

nice skin holmes

[grdh20]

One issue I found. When you choose "user overrides" and then pick "always use the taskbar defined in "Longhorne percept", it reverts the taskbar back to windows classic even if you already have the percept skin loaded, or any other skin for that matter. Can someone else test this? Thanks.

[grdh20]

Great job!

But I noticed 2 things that killed my eyes (watch the attached screen shot):

My classic start menu and quick launch menus look like this. white on light grey. Unreadable. can you fix this?

[savourymonkey]

Yes, I know what it is now, so I'll fix it in the next update. I'll release tomorrow because there are a few other bugfixes needed too.

Can't assist you on the taskbar though I'm afraid. I've tested it also, and get the same problem, but I also get that problem when trying to do the same with dreamland and with another skin. I don't think that there's something I can correct to change this, I think it must be WB5. If someone knows differently, please tell me and I'll include that fix in the update.

Yeah, it's odd, the black stripped menus flash out for a half a second every now and then on the start menu, but then back to white. The other odd thing is the Favorites menu looks white on IE, but then all the other drop down menus look correct.

Just tried the taskbar thing on Dreamland and you are right, same issue, but like Arrow, Vista and other per pixel taskbars work fine, so who knows.

[leonx81]

Looking great, thanks!

[nickels]

looks good, but would like it without the massive bar :| ..... *looks forward to vista percept*

[joe_banana]

yah the bar is too big.

[Filth]

I just noticed you quoted me in your image :rofl:

Using it now :D

[aleni]

how do u install the toolbar ? i installed the theme, but the toolbar doesnt show up.

anyway i just purchased windowblinds 5 after seeing this theme. amazing work!

[CeL_dAmAgE]

Hehe, you quoted me. . Too bad my "copy" of WB5 *ehem* ran out. . .

Oh yeah, aleni, I'm pretty sure that he's using Styler for that, which is about $10 for the toolbar modifier.

[gian]

DOwnloading. Although i got windows Vista i think this is smth different. Maybe better than Vista in a way!

[cchasem]

Are you taking requests? If so, I'd like to request a 'normal' sized titlebar version..The hugemongous titlebars cause too many retarded problems for this to be useable for me..

Also, How do you get rid of the icons that are in the titlebar (to the immediate left of the titlebar text)?

Also, I like saying hugemongous.
