have been using this for a few days now, changed the default strong green to a more relaxed one, and the only thing bothering me after this time is the inactive window transparency. it's just annoying. hard to read, and it's a mess when there are a lot of windows open.

my opinion is that it's not the transparency that makes this theme stand out from the crowd, it's the professional cleanness. transparency is anything other then professional.

to make this theme perfect i would recommed trying to make the inactive titlebars pure white with grey text (to differentiate from the default picotea white substyle)

great work anyway, i would do the changes myself but i have no clue about skinstudio.

cheers.

here's a screeny of the changed green stuff (fonts are bigger too):

RC9 released as a possible solution to readability. Feedback please. I do like transaparency on the inacdtive to deemphasize them a little more. I can't use pure white on the inactive. Some subs use white buttons. Inactive/active windows use the same buttons.

thanks noespam for posting that. please quote me though if you're going to copy my post from another forum.

RC11 has a much improved inactive window. actually looks good enough for active window subs :) enjoy

thanks for the comments on RC11. now i have to change the start panels to be consistent with the inactive windows. aargh. i was soooooooo close to a release. 11 builds later i still don't think it's ready for a general release. i'm finding usability issues with my livelihood app, Visual Studio 2005.

It never works for me? I can only do it if I use HSL colouring, even if the force skin to use box it ticked?

Go to c:\Programme\Stardock\ObjektDesctop\WindowBlinds\pico tea RC

In this Folder are many "batch'es" after you klick it, reload the Skin and see what it do...Colors of Taskbar and many others ;)

Is this what you mean?

Hmm sorry for asking this stupid question... what program is used to use this visual style <.<

You are kidding? :unsure:

Well what section are you in?

WindowBlinds Area

Kinda gives it away somewhat?........no? :rolleyes:

I've been away on work and vacation.

[RC12]

* rounded corners on taskbar backrounds

* removed transparency on all start panels (full, 48px and 38px) // to be consistent with active windows and solve issues with icons blending with background

Any chance of a link to this wallpaper, the one you have in deviantart doesn't work. I checked chavsik's devart page as well but no luck.

I uploaded to imageshack.

    • low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.
    • I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.
    • You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
