^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

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
