Watercolor Emico

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Still the same.. I'm going to work that out this weekend. Like I said, school started again so I've only got time to work on WE in the weekends.

Also, are there people willing to make a Winamp skin for WE?

[Krokus]

If I knew how to skin for Winamp.

I would. :p

After not using Watercolor Emico for a few weeks and not working on it, I found out that the frames are to sharp. The lines that make the frames sharper where way to noticeable IMO. I've fixed this in Blue SE and trust me.. it looks way better then the current version. It's probably not that noticeable for people that don't use it that much since the release :p

The shellstyles are also being worked on. I'm doing the design part and dis (a member here on Neowin) is doing the code part. You guys should all thank him once the shellstyles are released because he's doing an amazing job! :D

[Krokus]

Great to hear. :)

Here's a teaser of the taskbar with the new colors etc:

This might be the only teaser that I'm going to show :p

It would also be nice if I can get a few opinions about it :)

Although that the colors are a bit tweaked, i cant really see much difference.

but it looks good.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

The changes on the frames might look minor but if you use WE a lot you'd notice the difference. Also, all the controls had an overhaul so those things all look different then the current Blue version.

loooking good, there's my opinion. :D

I like it!

The preview looks great, too bad we won't get to see the other changes you mentioned anytime soon lol :(

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I'm not going to spoil to much ;)

[Michael1406]

The new colour looks good, I'll definitely be using that when you've finished it.

[valderrama]

The new preview looks great! I can't wait to see all! :)

[NeoXY]

Wow, can't wait for a new release. Keep up the amazing work (Y)

[NEVER85]

I wish I could still use this...

[cheazles]

Looks great! Can't wait for it.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Thanks guys! :D The taskbar is going to look awesome while being unlocked as well. I might even want to use WE: Blue SE with a unlocked taskbar instead of locked. Also, imagine this theme to have white scrollbars and tabs that look like the original Watercolor theme :)

Hiya !!

Is there any chance that this theme can/ may include a user picture on the top of the start menu?

I've just found these Watercolor (https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=32604&st=840&start=840) and Watercolor Emico themes, and I really like them. It would be great if there is a variation which allows user pictures to be displayed ;) . Can it be an option to the colors (similar to how the themes allow for the *start button text* to be displayed and not)?

Is this possible to do?

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it :) !!

Why I get this error when I try to change from Microsoft's theme to an unsigned theme? I already installed the dll. That's kinda obvious. So, anyway, what I'm doing wrong?

[untouchablez-2004]

Currently using the black version of this awesome visual style!

Make sure you used the right DLL files, there's different ones for SP2 and SP3. If you have patched the uxtheme correctly, and can use other themes, I'd try redownloading watercolor emico then try reapplying them (and remember the msstyles go in C:\windows\resource\themes folder)

[Graham110]

Yeah, I discovered that it was the problem. The multi patcher linked is outdated so I had to do it manually.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^I'm glad it's fixed now :)

@Happy-Dude: It might have a user picture but I can't promise anything at the moment. It's to early to say.
