[rel] Thallos WindowBlinds

[rounds]

Wow this is great. Thanks.

This looks awesome KoL, and the toolbar buttons are perfect to :D

I'm no working on my second version of my winamp skin, this one is going to have transparency also :p

Excellent work as usual Kol... However, my Thallos 2's (both normal and compact) transparent taskbar does not work :( It gets all corrupted. I've tried installing and downloading a fresh copy twice. Also, there's a slight problem with the start button. I've attached both images. Everything else works perfectly..

And before anyone says anything, yes, I've paid for it, it's a legit, licensed, legal, stardock approved, non-pirated copy of WB5 enhanced.

I'm using the Thallos 1 normal now, so, no big deal. :) P.S - this was the first theme to make me switch from iFlex, so, massive respect on that one Kol.

Broken start menu:

... and...

Broken taskbar:

dividebyzero you should update your video drivers. I have no problems here

Same here! I switched from iFlex for this one. :)

KoL: thanks for the quick update on the bugs I mentioned! You rock! :D

Hey KoL, I love the choice of icons in your screenshot. Can you possibly upload the icon packager theme for that icon set? Would be appreciated...

P.S. Can you please tell me where to download the Black My Computer icon? Thanks in adv.

Thanks KoL, you rock (Y)

Been using the Msstyle version (converted to WBA by SkinStudio) upto now, but I had a few issues, like the down arrow/up arrow next to the back/forwards icons in IE not showing.. but all is great now I'm using the proper WB version :)

One question though, are the version numbers independant?

Meaning, the Msstyle is at version 1.2, this is at 1.1; does that mean the Msstyle one has bugfixes that this doesn't.. or are they separate?

Cheers! :D

Also, whether this is a bug or not, I'm not sure. See in the screenshot below, theres a bit of the end of the arrow cut off, and the border line seems a bit too close to the arrow also.

Anyone know how I can correct this in SkinStudio?

I'm experiencing some button glitches in CCleaner, I don't know if this fixable, it might be since WindowBlinds is more flexible??? :huh: ...

I think the problem is the content marging, Im not sure, I have to take a look.

I can fix the shadow problem I need to find first where the problem is. :p Im not sure about the buttons problem. I think I have to remove the bold of the button and Im not going to do that.

You'll have to wait :p

Wow - that actuall worked Pitt! Thanks! Weird though, because all other transparent themes have worked great.

Anyway - just wanted to say, I noticed the way that the titlebar is not uniformly transparent across it's length and is more opaque to the right of it. Very subtle. Nice attention to detail there :shiftyninja:

I have a bug with the sounds and audio devices control panel, anyone else getting this???

[MrBear5587]

Fine here

I guess I should have used another skin before posting here, I don't know what it was that was doing it but it seems to have fixed itself so everythings cool.

Hi Kol

First off all, I'm really digging the transparent skin. :D

I already updated my winamp skin to with an transparent version.

Take a look at the screenshot here.

Second off all, when I look in the Thallos folder in my Windowblinds folder, I see 2 overlay images that looks like glow for the exit button and minimize and restore.

Are they being used at all, or not?

None or the less this is the best Windowblinds skin I've ever used. :punk:

Love the skin man, looks really really cool.

Yep there are some glow images on the files but I decided not to use them. Didnt like how it look. :p

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Thanks Kol, that means a lot :D

Is there a way I can use the glow effects in the skin? :D

Cause I want to see how it looks :p

[KoL Veteran]

in normal windows you set them in the button overlay property and in perpixel windows every button have its own glow setting.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Could you maybe show me how to put it in the *.sss file cause I dont have Skinstudio 5 :(

If it's to much of a hasle then nevermind :)

[Riscon]

Amazing skin and very light on resources. This is also the fastest skin I have used, alot of other skins with transparecy slow down the OS. Fabulous stuff mate I am very impressed and cant wait for the next one. Are you planning on doing a darker version of this skin ( not black and red please! ) ?

I already started the mockup of my next skin. It is going to be a little different from what I have done but I think is looks cool. And no is not going to be black and red, it have some red-orange parts.
