^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

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
