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

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By freedonX · Posted

      When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
