Watercolor Lite v1.0

[Lewkwarm]

*ding ding ding* we have a wiener ;)

Chris

i won first. :angry:

:)

well, your the 'wiener'... congratulations :whistle:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Binary, are you planning on making it jet black or charcoal black?

I'm curious, cuz I tend to think charcoal suits the Watercolor look a bit better. Jet black would make it feel......hrm...well, I know you'd make it look good, but solid black just strikes me as incompatible with the whole XP feel, or worse--metallic. My own opinion, o'course. I just can't imagine Watercolor featuring something with pure black. I can't imagine that following the easy-on-the-eyes WC tradition.

But tradition isn't anything special anyway. :D

[lexecutil]

hey could you maybe make the menus like the ones in office xp? just an idea anyway.

What happened to updating the vanilla Watercolor style... I'd love to see all the fixes with a normal taskbar.

[Jason the Eighty Eighth]

i was never really fond of this, until i saw Dazzla's little addon for this, this Theme really matched it.

but this is truely a masterpiece, you should be proud of yourself. if possible, could you please make another one which is 2 or so pixels less? i can't really adapt working with a taskbar that is not to my size. seeing as how i don't have Style-Builder, perhaps you could do it if you're not busy? (PM me if you want to)

thanks, and keep up the good work.

I may be discontinuing the 'normal' version and just going on with the thinner taskbar. I will of course add the original olive and silver substyles to the new Lite style, and a few more while I'm at it :D.

If there are enough complaints/requests for the normal taskbar then I guess I can continue it. But remember, it takes alot of work to maintain two styles with multiple substyles in each. Some of the substyles may reveal bugs that the others dont have. Plus it's just a pain ;) Stylebuilder likes jumbling the settings occasionally, so the result is buggy substyles, and messed up settings :(.

lol that guys a moron .... keep up the great work man I love watercolor :D

[Tran]

Ha! That's awesome! That kid must have a crappy computer cause it doesn't screw up my laptop and mine's pretty old! The joys of hate-mail. People send you complaints that you laugh at... Anyway I can't wait for that new Watercolor!

[Binary]

I bet he applied it without a proper uxtheme.dll. Should I tell him how to fix it?

:)

Chris

*edit*

I emailed him back:

"Well, thanks for your positive feedback. My theme certainly did not screw up your windows machine. Did you by any chance install Style XP (www.tgtsoft.com) before applying my theme? Because thats what you need to do... Or else it will appear to have messed up windows. If you write back explaining what happened I can tell you how to fix the issue.

Oh, and did you happen to read the disclaimer?"

mmmm disclaimer. :woot:

haha, that's too funny. :laugh:

[bigred]

I love this Watercolor....it's great....thanks for the great work!

Just to let you know, my vote would be for a regular taskbar version of the black, cuz I don't use the thinner one.

If it happens, great. If it doesn't, I won't complain, I'll just stick with the color I've got.

Thanks Binary :)

I dont see why people dont like the thin one :( It's only like 2 or 3 pixels lower. :)

Chris

[Dogan]

/me likes the thin one :)

[Womble]

IMHO i think the thin mode is a lot better! like binary says is only 2 or 3 pixels smaller its not like its proper mac stlye thin! so stop complaining :D

[shockz]

Binarys thin taskbar is good. Most thin taskbars I don't like - but his is the perfect size.

Thank your for Watercolor Lite!

It is the best theme i ever saw - and the thin one is the best for 1024x768 ... excellent design & enough workspace.

My question: Is there an official website for the Watercolor Styles or is this forum the only source for updates ... etc. ?

Thx & Greetz

Can't wait for the silver release! My favorite color style!

[Jazzid]

Hey Binary..

..did you get any replies on your email answer you posted on the last page :laugh: ?!

Don`t know if it is the right place to ask..but are there any news about Watercolor Plus :huh: ?!

BTW: Great skin..I prefer the light one :rolleyes:

[Animaniac]

I think I have been pulled to the side of the quasi-thin. hehe

if only all windows themers would incorporate the amount of time and effort binary does into creating installation files, providing support and above all, tweaking the interface of their themes to the point where every time someone clicks something, they say "wow," under their breath, we would give the mac theming community a run for their money (which they must have, given the price of their hardware) binary, every time i format my hard drive, watercolor is the first theme to be installed, just because of quality (of course, then comes luna2, because of beauty and its professional looking interface) more people need to be like you.
