Nice, will give a try:D

[ViperAFK]

it seems you have given up on this but if you want to solve this bug here is a little howto:

-increase the Bitmap size of the CaptionButton.bmp (the one which is solid "magic pink") from 18x144 to 20x160

-then change the ContentMargin of each CaptionButton to "1, 0, 2, 0"

-change also the ContentMargin of the SmallCaptionButton to "2, 2, 2, -2"

you could add the bug fixed version as a substyle :yes:

Yeah it would be cool if a substyle could be added, I personally like the caption buttons alot and they made the theme feel more responsive.

[tehmemories]

If you end up putting the caption buttons back in. I would make them go more smooth with the titlebar. I thought they looked odd.

[lassekongo83]

Oh well, they're back in the 3 standard substyles. XD

I'll focus on fixing bugs now (if there are any) instead of removing/adding things. :p

Thanks for the help srn. :)

I hope I'm not annoying but this is what you could consider aswell:

When windows are maximised the gradient ratio between light and dark is wrong.

try to change the SizingMargins there.

change the HighlightText to 255,255,255 because it's hard to read now.

set the ContentMargins in StartMenu->MenuBand->NewAppButton and StartMenu->Toolbar->Button to 3, -4, 0, 0 (it will look more compact)

[tehmemories]

I found a bug with the arrows on the left. They are cut off.

[tehmemories]

That's in the first substyle btw.

[tehmemories]

Also is the icon suppose to look higher? It doesn't look like it's in the middle of the bar.

And is My Network Places supposed to be cut off?

I really enjoy this theme! I like the fact that it is slim and compact.

[CrisCr0ss]

a little request Can you add a Compact start menu?

I love this skin

[lassekongo83]

@srn: Not exactly sure what you mean with the gradient ratio, but I'll see what I can do. :)

@tehmemories: Thanks for the bug reports, I'll see what I can do.

@CrisCr0ss: At the moment I get apply errors when I try to add compact menus. Probaly something I've missed. Hopefully I've figured out what it is in the next update.

Edit: Hmm. I've tried a lot of stuff with these bugs. My first priority now is this bug.

I've tried changing the sizing and content margins in taskband > toolbar > button, but nothing helped. :/ What else can I change to make this go away?

About the icon that isn't centered in the captionbar. I haven't found the margin values for it yet. >_<

What should I change to make the black arrows in the startmenu to move a bit to the left? I don't have this problem, but I guess some people have.

The network icon problem I have no solution to right now. :/

@srn: The maximized windows use a different image for the top bar, so he should just change the gradient in that image right?

@srn: Not exactly sure what you mean with the gradient ratio, but I'll see what I can do. :)

the dark part is too narrow (maybe 1 or 2 pixels)

I don't think it can be changed

set the ContentMargins in StartMenu->MenuBand->NewAppButton and StartMenu->Toolbar->Button to 3, -2, 0, 0

the window can be resized. there is no bug!

@Capric0rn:

Yes

[lassekongo83]

Ok, I've fixed most of these things now. (I think.) Except for the upper left icon (SysButton), it's not possible. :<

Thanks for the help srn. :)

The new update also includes better instructions for the foobar2000 config. :)

[dose]

Very nice theme. I was looking for a new dark one to use! Thanks :)

PS: Good sized fonts too, very easy to read on my laptop.

[tehmemories]

How come in a lot of vs' it's not cut off and you don't have to resize it?

@lassekongo83: Looks good so far :)

[Clinteger]

I love this! I'm using Vista on this machine, but this one's going on all my XP machines!

It's moving right along, too! Most skinners leave the users in the dark, bugs and all!

[Lqv2015]

My favorite dark VS yet. Seriously.

Thanks.

[tehmemories]

I TRIED to followed your foobar instruction and I couldn't get it to work at all. I tried for like 45 minutes. Also I "zlib and libpng" never came with column ui.

[lassekongo83]

I've updated the instructions with even more details and screenshots. See the instructions.htm file. :)

[virgo89]

Anyone else think the font is a little too large?

[tehmemories]

I've updated the instructions with even more details and screenshots. See the instructions.htm file. :)

Thank you for that. I got it going right away ^_^

[tehmemories]

Ok I found another bug. You know how you can stretch a window from all sides of the box? (top/bottom/left/right) Running this vs, you cannot stretch the window from the top. With other vs' you can.

Yeah I have also noticed this, the only place you can re-size the windows in this vs is in the upper right corner, nothing happens if you try to re-size it from the top.

[lassekongo83]

I'm aware of this bug, don't know how to fix it though. :/
