Thrawn Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Very Nice! I'm surprised though that it's being so slow to catch on. Good work. Just to say, the shadowless-ness is a good change, but an option for shadows (or WindowFX shadow definitions) would be nice too.

thornz0 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 great theme, lots of subtle touches. :D glass wigs out trying to open control panel and errors in category view though. i had to load a different theme (arrow) and switch it to classic for glass to not error out control panel. never had anything like that before.

The Shellstyle is ported from the XP visualstyle, I've ported different shellstyles and this does occur with some of them... probably the way skinstudio ports shellstyles, the shellstyle has no errors when using the VS ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/452000-rel-royale-vista-wb5/#findComment-587413891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeL_dAmAgE Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Ahh, amazing port, glad to see you didn't end up doing a half-assed job :laugh: . I love the nice little subtle touches, althought maybe a completely transperant titlebar in the future would be nice, or a blurry version ;) .

Bledwards Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Wow dobee, great skin, any chance on dropshadows (maybe substyle) on the glass version? Alpha blended corners sounds good too.

josephpatrick Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 When a window is inactive, the transparency seen is much more than when it is active, is it possible to switch these transparency levels ??

althema Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 A great theme :D But could you make left shellstyle for a glass theme, because top shellstyle pretty useless for me. :pinch: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/452000-rel-royale-vista-wb5/#findComment-587429786 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trong Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Great theme, I was modding it for my own purposes. I had 48px icons so I hope that's okay. Anyways, its about time that I stopped using the "V" skin. It was getting too old for me. This is very nice.

on Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Maximized window titlebar see a little off. Maybe it needs a border or a little lighter tones, it just doesnt go with the taskbar :rolleyes:. A fine skin otherwise, definitely a favorite. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/452000-rel-royale-vista-wb5/#findComment-587431993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cow07 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) hi dobee, awesome skin, everything looks great. cant wait for the next update. i got a suggestion though, instead of that mimic transparent taskbar... how about some "real" transparency? cause it just looks weird for people that uses auto-hide taskbar... ooh and like how other members were saying, maybe have a substyle (or totally change your current one?) to have the inactive/active windows' transparency to switch...the ligther one does look cooler! but when maximized, leave it as the current black title bar lol i hope that made some sense... thanks a lot! Yes... I'll add a compact version and alpha blend the corners for glass in the next update Edited April 20, 2006 by cow07 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/452000-rel-royale-vista-wb5/#findComment-587432714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
