noespam Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited September 26, 2006 by nextmario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooomph Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 wow, rc11 has nailed it. great "compromise". i dig it. leave it for the inactive ;), opacity for the active one is very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nextmario Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 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.

Riscon Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Right click on skin in WB.....and select 'change skin color' 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad.C Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 This IS the greatest WB skin I have ever used. My desktop has never looked so good. The skin alone has made buying WindowBlinds worth it.. Good job my friend.. Awesome work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Finch Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 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?
