[WIP] Bluetang

[fascist]

Bluetang is basically made for the tango icon set since I absolutely love it. I just started working on it today and so this is only a mock up that is partially finished. Im hoping I can actually finish this one unlike my others I started. If I decide I can not I will post everything I have so far. Now for the mock up...

*Although many things may look like elements from other visual styles I did not steal them. Ya many things look like Hmmxp but I did not steal them it just influenced it.

Nice mockup, I look forward to seeing it finished and in action on my computer. Have you thought of using some of the tango icons in the VS. For example, as the start menu button, the tray button and the various images for the shellstyle?

Looks great I like the title bar, can't wait until it's finished,PLEASE make sure it has fonts that do not need cleartype to be readable(like many other styles recently) so I don't go blind looking at my CRT :pinch:

Very nice, I can't wait for it to be finished! I guess that the start button won't be as massive as it seems in the mockup.

Wow! That really looks good :) May I make a few suggestions?

It'd be really great to see a Tango "purple" version. The blue goes great with the Tango folders but the official Tango purple would make this visual style perfect in my eyes. It's not really purple. More like a midnight blue ;). An example of this color would be from the header (where the Tango! logo is) on http://www.tango-project.org.

Did you base this VS off of HmmXP? I like that start button! Anyway to make the taskbar and title bars a teensy tiny bit larger (just in the height)? Just enough so the icons an text aren't jam packed. Also, is it possible to make the minimize, maximize, and close buttons a tad bit bigger? Just enough so the mouse won't have a hard time clicking on them.

Were your intentions to have the buttons in the taskbar be cut off at the bottom? I LOVE that style. Everything looks really awesome! These are just suggestions. My two cents ;). I really do hope you finish this. If not, I'd love to have a go at it! Keep us posted!

Er...the links point to the Buuf Shell Patcher WIP. Not a Tango theme at all. Even if it WAS a Tango theme, it probably would look very similar due to the strict guidelines of design Tango has. Could you clarify what you meant in your post? I'm not sure I fully understand your comparison or intentions.

[ViperAFK]

Agreed, and I don't really think they look that much alike...

[offtopic]many crts actually look better with cleartype. if y ou haven't tried it, i suggest you do so and keep it for a day or so and see how you like it. an aperture grille crt like a sony trinitron seems to work the best, next to an lcd.[/offtopic]

already tried that for a couple of days and it was horrible, although I have a new 19 inch lcd so it doesn't matter anymore.

[Harlem39s Finest]

looks cool.

Ok so I started making it again its just that I keep getting ****ed off and deleting it because nothing ever matches when applied.
