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?

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.

    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
