Thanks again everyone :D

@tehmemories: I'm sorry but I don't what you mean. Do you mean the space between the start button and the task button?.

@russellc: I'm planning on releasing that next week :)

@Ji@nBing: I can't port it myself because I don't have Vista.

Also, I've posted some info in the frist post, regarding shellstyles and contribution to the skin plus a link to some more info :)

I've been working on a WindowBlinds port for those who use Vista, and all is going well... There's just ONE little problem. [And I'm not sure if this would happen in WindowBlinds XP, but if you're using Windows XP I'm not sure why you'd want a WB version...] Anyway, here's what happens:

There's a thin black bar above the titlebars of windows. I don't know why, exactly. My only guess is that the default window titlebar thickness in Vista is a little bigger than in XP, and so it's trying to compensate. I'll try to fix that. I'll work on it this weekend.

Thanks Capric0rn for the awesome skin, I'll talk to you first [with screenshots!] before I make any attempt at releasing this.

@skelly831: The new LE scrollbars are the same as the Watercolor Emico scrollbars. He used my design to creat those :)

@Yggdrasilly: The Visual Styles uses magic pink up there. Maybe Windowblinds wants to have that totally transparent. Oh.. and fix those caption buttons :rofl:

1. Some pallet frames arent drawn the correct way.(Application bug)

3. Multi row taskbar does not look good. (Theme)

1. Are you referring also to the caption buttons on pallet windows, such as in Photoshop?

Since the caption buttons in this, and the ones in LE 5 Black are in the same style (ie a row of sunken buttons set on a shiny background), I think you could use the same technique here for the small captions, as in LE 5 Black.

3. Multi row looks fine to me o.O.

Anyway, as I mentioned on devART, excellent work!

FANTASTICO!

edit: I'm not too crazy about this little "lip" on the bottom of the startbar.

*image snip*

I think that was done to enhance the 3D gloss effect. This theme has the sharpest gloss lines of any I have ever seen, it's eye-catching! The bitmaps for that should be easily edited though. If you change the alignment of the gloss line though, make sure to edit all taskbar bitmaps, AND the taskbar buttons, or they will look misaligned.

@SakuraKira: I have no application that uses all the small caption buttons. That's why I can't make the look correct. Do you know a freeware app that uses those small caption buttons?

Thanks to euphoricallydead on deviantART I'm currently working on a update which has a nicer taskbar for multi-row taskbars. It will also have a fix for the small frames.

Also, I might have some new toolbar buttons. I'm not so sure about them yet but here's a preview:

Edit:

Small caption buttons are also going to be fixed! :D

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
