Can you make a WB5 alpha blended version?

[SMELTN]

Suggestions:>

1. The line under taskbar gives it a nice look, don't change it.

2. The tray expansion button needs work, doesn't quite blend in. Maybe should be like the button used in start menu for "All programs".

3. The circle for "Maximize" button was nicer. The box variant is too dull.

4. I have desktop toolbar on the taskbar, "Desktop" is typed in light blue, should be white or lighter blue, easier for eyes.

5. "All programs" list is too dark, might look better in same shade as inactive windows.

6. The X on "Close" button should be centered imo.

This is the most waited VS ever for me. The orange one will be a hit.

Keep up the good work!

My points EXACTLY. I love the line under the taskbar now.. It makes the theme "different" and "refreshing".

I agree 100% with making the expand taskbar button be the same button as the All Programs button, plus I think it will kinda tie the line under the toolbar in a little more. Get the eye off it a little more for those people that dont like it.

I love some of the features in the consept screenshot.. But the over all design of the beta is outstanding.. Really loving it.

------> "Update" is inactive but supposed to be a button :|

and

------> "Update" button is a little messed with active

I found something i aint to keen on! When you move ur mouse over a program in the task bar or say u minimize a program its still pressed down, lets take MSN window for example

When its like that it is very difficult to notice if someone is talkin to you!

Hope you understand lol!

I am getting the same problem with some button text not being shown all the way.

Thanks for the kind words and feedback (Y)

1. Line on taskbar is staying *indefinately*

2. Systray expander will be changed (smaller version of All Programs)

3. Button cut-off text will be fixed (and inactive state added)

Everything else mentioned I've already commented on.

I love the start button so this is staying for the time being. I will however, design an alternative.

What about an alpha-blended WB5 ver. It would be teh sex because it would be smooth as hell on both dark and light versions. And you could theme the right click menus.

Just been messing around with some start button designs, what do you recon b0se?

*Will remove image on request.

[Start::Button]
BgType = ImageFile
ContentMargins = -70, 100, 1, 4

Thats teh niceness rite there man, thanks.

The default startbutton is better.

[shaywood]

Like I mentioned it's just me messing around, not saying its any better. Just thought I might be able to give some inspiration to b0se :D

[gertin]

A few bugs:

"Bla igjennom" (browse) isn't within the button, probably reported already. The area reserved for minimize, close-button is too big and the OK-button almost disappears when I clear the input box.

Same thing occurs in WinRAR.

Hey apparently I'm one of the few people that actually digs the little white bar... I like the whole idea of having the programs list as tabs, however... I think the taskbar buttons look nicer when they're a bit more round, what do you think?

[invhntr]

A lot of us like the thin line at the bottom of the taskbar.

People just don't often comment on what they like, but they're all too quick to comment on what they don't.

[Nathanael]

Love the white bar on the taskbar.

[suggestion] Greyed out buttons look somewhat weird with just the text.

I agree, I think that looks pretty awesome. Fixes the one thing that was really bugging me about this theme... Being symmetrical is good ;)

[rliu]

not bad, let me try it

but i like Pantha better

[Angelo75]

I think that the asymmetrical taskbar buttons must be conserved. It's an innovative and particular style. I like it :)

[rliu]

Here comes the first bug...

See Pic

it's fixed, :cool:

[Bloodwork]

I had the same idea Shaywood did but never posted it. Here is my version, no need to change any content margins. The font is Calibri because that's what I changed all my fonts to...

A very good work! The colors are inverted, it's a very nice style! Compliments and thank you for sharing it :)
