Leopard for Vista

[jtherrien]

Looks good, but the windows need shadows... I mean, you're going after Leopard here, right? The OS with massive window dropshadows? At least use the normal Aero shadow "glow".

Do people actually read the previous posts or just the first and last one?

Ideas for start menu:

[omganinja]

Fixed the spacing for the basic buttons, they seem kinda mishappen or something, I'll have to fiddle with the positioning or something.

[mildpanda]

okay, i think, it looks superb!

as for the annoying ones, i suppose they just look at the title and post, because i don't really see why anyone should be whining about that, since you probably explained that more than half a dozen times!

anyway, would love to see this, good job, keep it up!! :)

[Shaun N.]

Looks like a great work in progress, Good job omganinja!

Can't wait to see the final release :D

[omganinja]

Could someone please post me some screenshots of the buttons (OK, cancel, etc, possibly called caption buttons?) in leopard. Focussed, unfocussed, disabled, hover, etc. Thanks in advance.

You theme is really shaping up to be nice, it reminds me very much of an older version of VistaOSX, but patrickgs on deviant has started to change his theme around.

it used to look like this. this was my desktop about a month ago. if you want the VS i could pm you BUT you must ask PatrickGS if you plan on using any of his work or ideas

Regular Push Buttons. "OK" and "Save" are active.

Focus on "Insert Defaults". Disabled "Apply Changes"

Others

Note: there's animation so it's hard to tell the actual color of the button on the active one. Here's a quick movie:

Thanks giga, you're a legend.

Shouldn't you label this as Beta? Until you finish?

Otherwise, great work!

Well you cant actually download it yet, hence it being in the Work in Progress section.

[Luis.A]

I'm dying here! Release a beta for us to test out!

the attempt is really good but i must say that there is already a group of developers creating a "mac" shell for windows. check it out...

Like you said, thats a mac shell, this is a mac skin for the vista shell.

Update:

Couldn't get the round buttons to work because of the way they are rendered in vista. Had to use the square ones.

I'd just like to say that you are one Bada$$ styler...I love most of your visual styles, and must commend you for doing so well...most of them look damn good, so congrats! I'm using your Human one right now, and will probably keep it as combined with a blue wallpaper i got from someone, i am 120% satisfied with my computer now...thank you ever so much!

Thanks man. Glad to hear people like my styles.

EDIT: Fixed unfocussed min/max/close buttons.

i thought they already had leopard "skins" on windows blinds/ stardock?

Yeah, but way more "mad respect" for someone who does it for free. WindowsBlinds/Stardock isn't free.

Do you see windowblinds written anywhere in this thread?

Are you trying to be ignorant and annoying?

Don't worry about it man, some people don't know the difference.

[the1himself]

Don't worry about it man, some people don't know the difference.

firstly, i agree with the fact that lots of kudos should be given for someone who makes skins for free (or freeware for that matter). secondly, by mentioning stardock/ windowblinds i never menat for anyone to get sensitive about it: my intentions were to provide some "insight" or more suggest seeing what other people of done - as far as leopard skinning is concerned - and see how you can incorporate that with the skin being featured in this topic (i admit i probably went about it the wrong way). i'm in no way trying to be a troll

as you can see i have <10 forum posts since joining last year (and i should probobly keep it that way) because things always get taken out of context. My bad though.

all things aside, i like what i've seen so far and it will probably complete the leopard theme im going for on my desktop. object dock's leopard them will go well with it!
