Kr0z Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 the rounded "orb" start button is cut off at the top. I just find this theme too bright. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/420605-energy-blue/page/6/#findComment-587159634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
anguilla1980 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Freakin Awesome in 1.07!!!!!!! Major props!!!! LOVE the green start button and all the other changes made!!!! A couple requests though if I may: Get rid of that baby blue mouse hover over color, go back to the standard XP or do it grey like you did the toolbar. The background color of the startup tray, can you make it a color other than the rest of the toolbar like in Royale? When you have a BT symbol, a PcCillin, symbol, and a few others that are also blue, it's blue over load unless you make it a little lighter like in Royale. Also do you ever plan on adding the wide vista style exit/minimize/close buttons like in 1.05? Thanks!!!!!

anguilla1980 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Here is a link to what I think would make this them PERFECT in terms of the color blue and the shape of the close/min/exit buttons: http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/027/7...by_tornado5.jpg Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/420605-energy-blue/page/6/#findComment-587160725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo75 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Great work Joni! I think that the colors are too much brights...can you attenuate them?

CdK Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Joni_78, I noticed a couple of points you might consider. First, it looks like 1.07 lost the button selection recess that 1.06 had (see the first and second images below). My example here uses Firefox, but the same holds true for Windows Explorer as well. Second, I wonder if you'd consider blending the gradient between the menu bar and tool bar a little more. I normally run Firefox without toolbar boarders (see userChrome.css code below) and the transition is a bit choppy (see the third image below). I realize that I am probably in the minority here, so I offer it as only a suggestion. Maybe if the toolbar separators in Firefox were lighter, as in Windows Explorer, then I wouldn't use the code below at all. Whatever color value in 1.07 that Firefox uses to draw those separators got darker in 1.07. /* Enable flat toolbars */ menubar, toolbox, toolbar {border-style: none !important; } Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/420605-energy-blue/page/6/#findComment-587161898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetL1 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 My actual desktop What background image are you using on your desktop? It looks great! Can it be downloaded somewhere? If so where?

madmatt Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Joni, looks good. Although I haven't figured out how to keep it named as Luna. It won't allow me to delete the current Luna (keeps recreating it).

Joni_78 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 how to install this theme? i use only stylexp for visual styles...i tried with it but seems it doesnt work on it... thanks, i||uSi0n^ Haven't tested StyleXP. Maybe it has some problems with SP2, dunno. Patch your uxtheme file so you dont need any external applications running in the background. Great work Joni! I think that the colors are too much brights...can you attenuate them? Thanx :) Added Dark Blue color. Joni_78, I noticed a couple of points you might consider.

You dont need to replace luna, just keep it in the energy blue folder.

Coneneo Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Cool (Y) one request: could you make the top of the start menu (after the avatar and the name) less heavier?

devilotX Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Like the look, but again, I'm holding out for the return of the vista buttons (Minimize, Maximize and Close) I'll stick with the last version till then, because I love this theme, so verynice.

madmatt Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Joni, probably would have helped if I thought to double click the actual MSSTYLE instead of loading it through Display Properties. Great addition with the dark blue. Although I like the regular. Thanks, again for such a great VS.

CdK Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Joni_78, Do you plan to eventually keep the msstyle file named Luna.msstyles? I'd never had the Luna theme applied to the Office toolbars before. Mainly because I never cared for the default Windows XP styles. Having used it for a day or two, not only do I think the blue compliments your style nicely, but some elements of Outlook are just easier to identify with Luna themed toolbars. Curiously enough, I tried renaming 1.08 to Luna.msstyles, but it didn't work with this version.

CdK Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Joni_78, Found what may be a problem with the expand and collapse glyphs. When you expand, collapse, and expand again, they don't redraw properly unless the point in question is pushed off of the screen by the expansion.

madmatt Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 1.0.8 I take it back. It doesn't happen at first but when you click a different folder then back to the previous folder then it happens.
