Watercolor Emico

[Knife Party]

Woa, could you make a port for Vista?

:x :x Shouldn't be let near Vista, let it show off its beauty on XP.....

[zErO_gdh]

Finally! :D Nice work!

Can't wait the black version. :yes:

Great job! I can't wait for the other colours, ergonomic blue in particular.

looks cool but i dont get the fuss about it

You may or may not remember how Binary's Watercolor visual style pretty much started the whole XP skinning scene. Capric0rn's style is an amazing rendition of Watercolor. That is what the fuss is about.

Got it installed on my Terminal server now, looks great :) LE Black V5 on my main screen, and this one my TS screen 2 great themes m8, your work is greatly appreciated.

I cant wait to see what the second blue, black and silver ones look like. though i get the feeling i will be changing my LE Black installs on several machines to Watercolor Emico: Black :)

[maddox]

Cool and sexy. Thanks for sharing, Capric0rn.

[valderrama]

thx, nearly perfect theme. :laugh:

now we need a miranda skin and a logon screen. :D

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^First I'm going to finish the visual styles. Then I'm going to work on application skins. So yeah.. Miranda-IM will get a skin.

@The rest: Thanks again for all the positive comments :D

Man.. I use Vista.. :(

I'd love a black version of this with transparency.

[zeroday]

Would love to use it, but I use WB. Any chance of it as a WB format? ;)

[magik]

This looks great! Good stuff (Y)

And I wouldn't say the multi-row taskbar looks bad, I think it looks just fine. Especially with enough windows open to fill it.

[Lee G. Veteran]

Awesome - I love it! :woot: :wub:

I only wish I was using Windows XP on my main machine. I think I may have install Windows XP in a virtual PC (again), haha!

[ring0]

excellent. any chance of even a tiny preview of what the ergo blue will look like? even if it's a 1/4" wide slice of the taskbar? :D

<- ocd about having themes/walls/app skins that match

If it were turned into a Vista theme, it would be one of...one that I would consider using over the default Aero. Anyway, explain how a Vista port would detract from your enjoyment of the theme.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Not going to post screenshots of it. I want to keep the other styles a surprise. The people in the Neowin chat have seen them and I received positive reactions about it :)

@magik: Multi-row taskbars with modern don't look as nice as in classic ;)

To the Vista users: I don't have Vista nor do I plan to install it anytime soon. I'm not going to allow ports to Vista either since I want this skin to be XP only.

To the WB users: I'm not going to make a WB version of this skin anytime soon. I can't promise if I'm going to make one or not either.

Ah well i was gonna install XP to use this but with that attitude ill stick with Vista Aero.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Lol. You can port it yourself to Vista but I only give permission to release it if it's REALLY well made. I've seen a few ports from XP skins which I didn't really like.

[neufuse Veteran]

Someone needs to port this theme to vista in with DWM!

[ring0]

y'know... the bright blue matches my desktop better than i was expecting. brilliantly done, lad.

black should be sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick too. can't wait. this theme has made me love .msstyles again - the flood of vista-like and flat white/black themes was killing me.

[Rudy]

wow.....looks awesome..... i'll be using it on my vm :p

[Lee G. Veteran]

I completely understand why Capric0rn would want to keep it Windows XP only. I mean, I assume it's easy(ish) to port the theme to Windowblinds, but most XP msstyle ports I've seen (from screenshots) look pretty sloppy.

<- ocd about having themes/walls/app skins that match

So you're not the only one :p Haha!

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^You guys have no idea bout how complete I want to make it :p When all the color styles are done I'm going to make shellstyles, after that I'm going to work on some matching login screens. Jim-Phelps told me that he wanted to make Winamp skins for it but I haven't heard from him yet. Maybe I might start making Winamp skins around that time

You guys can also make Emico skins for other apps as long as you send me a PM or an email for permission with a screenshot of the skin.

[NEVER85]

Wow! I'm happily using Vista but with a theme like this, I'd be willing to put up with XP again.

[murderdoll]

@Capri, is there a chance you'll release a grey/classic-like color style ( like the original watercolor vs ) ?

[ring0]

Jim-Phelps told me that he wanted to make Winamp skins....

hotness - he does great work.

wanna get in contact with the trillian devs and work on an official skin for astra? ;D

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

Very nice (Y)
