[rel] Clearlooks 0.6

[Guest Nuroticat]

Great job! This is the first I've switched to a new theme in a *really* long time. My only big quirk is the behavior in the taskbar when a window flashes. When flashing, the space changes from having rounded edges to staight square edges. I think it would look better for the edges to stay rounded. Also, the start button, while true to the original theme could use slightly more definition, maybe this could be achieved by adding a splash of color.

Regarding the caption bar font size: Leave it as it is please.

2. Update: Replaced Tahoma by Bitstream Vera Sans, smoother PushButtons, removed fix which was showing Buttons incomplete, increased ScrollArrows, and other little tweaks which you won't notice....

I dont know if it is a direct result of, but Firefox for me sometimes opens in a small like 10x10 window now. Seems to have started happening after I installed this theme. Otherwise I love it!

A friend has the same problem, so I do think it is the theme. With Luna, or another clearlooks theme, firefox doesn't open a small little window. I'll have to screenshot it.

I downloaded and installed Firefox1.5.1 just for this purpose and could reproduce what you describe.

Open Firefox and maximize it, then minimize and right click to desktop to open Display Properties.

If you now go to Appearance and change the Font options or the theme itself Firefox behaves strange.

Either a window pops up which is resized or no window pops up but a click on Firefox Taskbar Button doesn't bring it back either. In this case you have to right click on the Firefox Taskbar Button and select maximize here.

This strange behavior appears with default Luna or Windows Classic, too.

Changing themes while Firefox is minimized makes Firefox popup.

Back to OPERA...

do you have Bitstream Vera Sans installed? this font replaces Tahoma

[crypticlogic]

great theme.

you could use segoe UI 10pt Font for the captions to look more like the real thing

i also replaced most tahoma fonts with frutiger linotype and tweaked the colors.

cheers

Love your foobar layout, any chance I could get the customization code for your layout and graphics used for your buttons?

I think so... But anyway I don't like that font verymuch :( :( :(

It would be greate to be able to choose wich font use, instead of having to choose every font used :( :( :( ...

Ate least I can't see the font's in the "Font Size" as in others themes... I will try update 3...

I have been told that Bitstream doesn't look good except on LCD monitors.

i?m using it on a LG 1780U TFT , perfect !!! :DD

ps: more colours please ? :whistle::

Ah, so that's why it looks weird on my CRT. Then again, it looks about the same on my laptop.

I think it has something to do with the resolution being used. Or maybe its not really suited for Windows?

Try the Bitstream Fonts which I have included in the last update.

Well this is just a suggestion but IMHO the Bitstream Vera Sans looks better - less irregularities - when you increase the size to 10 instead of 9.

^ Yes, try that

Now that I have 2 Msstyle files included I could do the following:

The version with Tahoma,Calibri,SegoeUI will stay as it is, the other version could be a version with alternativ Fonts like Bitstream 10pt, Frutiger 9 , Lucida Grande 9.

As Frutiger is similar to Calibri another Font could be taken as well...

[:No-Frost:]

The Tahoma version it's greate ^^...

I haven't found any bug yet ^^... Using it with Flyakite 3.5

4. Update: Fonts changed again (Tahoma,Calibri,SegoeUI) and (Verdana,Frutiger Linotype,MS Reference), Font options appear in selection box.

Thanks! The Verdana option looks great, very close to the original!

[zegato]
