^You've got my permission to release that version. There won't be transparent versions though, I want the app skins to look the same as the actual visual style. I've got the same reasons for that as the reasons that I've got for the Vista port.

@tsupersonic: I know that lots of people can't use this skin. But it was requested around the beta's from December and it looked kinda good.

@boday: I thought about making a Crimson Red version. Also, my brother showed me a mobile phone that had nice colors but it's hard to find complementing colors for the controls. If I'm going to make more colors they'll be made after all the application skins that I'm going to make.

^It's still a mockup. I'm going to make a compiled version this weekend for Blue.

@darthmaulbr: Then you honestly need to recalibrate your monitor. I'm using 2 CRT monitors and I can see the clock fine on both monitors.

I believe your best shellstyle so far is still the one you made for LE 5.1, I'm still using it to this day and it never gets old :p . No disrespect to the new one, of course :laugh: !

You mean the one for LE 5.1 Black? I've tried something similar for Watercolor Emico but it made me think I was using Luna.

I updated the journal that I've made on deviantART with some more info about further progress plus links to the contributions that have been made so far. Here's the link: Further progress and info

Yup, that's the one. I like it because it separates the shellstyle from the folders clearly.

The blue version didn't feel right at all to me. I wanted to make it look like it's 1 whole. Also, the blue one was to distracting for me. The main reason why I didn't make a blue one is because it made it look like Luna and those kinds of shellstyles are being used in almost every visual style. I wanted to make something original for Emico.

Ah, I see. No worries (Y) .

^Thank god :p

I think you know me well enough to conclude that I don't complain much :p !

@e-gus: Err.. what? And what's up with the weird signature.

Why is his signature pointing to a thread that's almost 7 years old :blink: ?

^Sam is also working on a skin for Steam. He had problems with skinning it though.. The glyphs in the caption buttons can't be changed (?). He also couldn't change the white frame which. Also, his first version had an overlay over the borders.

So I'm not sure if you can change all that. But if you can, you should talk about it with Sam since he already started one. Maybe you 2 can cooperate on it.

Also, those aren't the inactive tabs from Emico, they look a bit different.

About the shellstyles; I'm not to sure if my mockup is going to work out. I have to add stuff to pe.xml and I have NO idea how I should do that. I also can't find a similar shellstyle that I could mod for Emico. I've tried the one from Royal Inspirat but I couldn't remove the extra frame so that's out of the question at the moment.

Is there maybe someone that does know about a similar one?

Maybe WinGnomeXP's universal shellstyle:

or this from NobodyUse's LeopardXP:

^Not either of them has a image in the background. I need one with transparent frames it should have an image in the background.

@cooky560: Did you read the 1st port?

@Karmakaze: Thanks! :D

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
