My four days of usage report - sorry I have bad news for thos who thought I would stick with WaterColor to the end of my days - :(

...

...

...

Binary did it again - he made me switch on ALL my machines from my all time favourite theme of WaterColor to WaterColor Lite

If Binary is the WaterColor Pimp - I am one of the WaterColor Minions/Slaves - this is awesome Chris - keep up the great work

yeah... Because of the way the headers are that isnt realy possible, or you'll have those big fat lines all along which would make it look bulky. I'll see what I can work up, but I'll probably just leave it as is.

Well, how is it possible, when you press it ( marked as "original pressed" on my image)? No doubt it is possible... at least I think so - I'm not really familiar with all possibilities for creating/editing a style.

Waiting on the next release with Start text like the Animaniac button :). By the way what version of TCLOCK are you guys using that actually works. Let me ask this question:

You choose the classic start menu then you change the image in TCLOCK and it's supposed to show up? Do you need to restart or anything???

Just wondering, is it supposed to be dark when you click on a tab in the taskbar and you run the cursor over it? It just sort of bothers me.

Yes it is supposed to be like that.

and and forgive me for not updating the startbutton, it's finished, I just havent had time. I'm working again... so I wont have alot of time to do anything atm.

That's Watercolor Lite thin...I figure that the actual start button from Watercolor adds an interesting twist to it. Many people have made their own Watercolor mod with a Pallette style taskbar but I haven't seen something like this around yet. I'm thinking that with some fine tuning I could have this looking fancy!

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
