^I'm not to happy about the XP part of the text. The rest kinda fits IMO though. But.. I might as well play around with it :p

@skelly831 and MajinDark: Thanks! :D

@StarLion: You do know that you can't release that right?

I meant that the modded frame bothered me. And now the shadow on the icon bothers me :p I'll send you the original icon :)

Also, you should use the caption bars in your skin instead of the startpanel's userpanel. As you can see in the caption bars, the right side has a gloss on the darker blue bottom. The start panel doesn't have that because there's a "clean" places list.

Ok, finaly switched on both main pcs from your old black theme to this new one Cap, and i must say its great :)

but i do have one small thing i would like to bring up, the colour of a flashing window, say on an msn msg, the orange looks wrong to me, kind of sickly coloured, i feel it would look better as a brighter/stronger orange colour.

but then again im no artists so what do i know >.<

I've played around with that color and IMO that color fits the dark mood of the theme.

The logoff button has the same color but it look different because that's a solid image in the mockup. The flash button the hover button, which is transparent in the mockup, with a color overlay.

^Thanks! :D

Here's an updated mockup from the logon screen:

I've remade the Key and ? buttons from scratch, they're looking sharper now. I also added the logo in the logon and it looks freally awesome IMO. I also added a selection to the logon which probably won't be in the compiled version. I remember that it causes nasty errors.

Tomorrow I'll be starting the progress on Silver/Grey which will probably be named Grey. I wanted to make it an early release but I changed my mind about it. The only difference between Black and Grey will be the frames. So this version is going to take less time then the previous ones.

Try increasing the font size on "XP" by one increment and change it from capital letters to lower case, it should look a little bit better and match the actual Windows XP logo more closely. :)

^Did you seen the updated version? The updated version actually has XP in lower case letters. The only thin that I'm not happy with is the color. It needs to look a bit brighter IMO.

@peachey: I thought about that and yeah, I was going to try and make one :D

I'm also thinking about using the blue Windows flag for a screensaver based on the default XP screensaver.

I can help you with that if you haven't already started.. just need a psd of the flag and maybe the font to be used.

If you're gonna do it then no probs, just thought I'd help :)

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
