Watercolor Emico

Nice to hear for the Vista users.

My ex will love that. (The Vista port.)

< Christmas longcat!

How about a release on Christmas if possible?

That would be a nice present. :)

[NEVER85]

Haha nice :p I don't know when the theme is ready for release. I still have a some things left to mockup etc.

I do have some good news for Vista users though. Someone contacted me this week about porting some of my stuff to Vista and I gave him permission for it. He's now working on a Watercolor Emico: Black port :D

Right on! Hope he makes them Aero-capable (not transparent, just the other effects).

I told him that the theme should look exactly like the XP version so I wouldn't count on it. IF there's going to be a 'real' Vista version then it's going to be made by me. And, of course that won't be a port but a complete new version.

That's a shame. Vista's UI seems so clumsy without the GPU acceleration of Aero. Oh well, WE's good enough of a theme that I'd use it with or without Aero.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

If he would add stuff to it then he would mod my theme and I don't want that to happen. If there where effects going to be added, then I would want to add them myself. Because people might have different visions on the theme, the Vista version with effects added by others will also look different then what I have in mind.

The only thing that I'm going to ask him is if he can add a shadow to the frame.

[spy beef]

I wished there were simple and beautiful VSes like this for Vista. I'm tired of glass.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

In case you didn't read the last page, there's going to be a Vista port :)

Good to hear, I cant use a theme anymore that has no shadows.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Unfortunatly Emico won't have shadows. It's going to be a Vista Basic theme.

Watercolor Emico: Black - Vista Port :)

This port is a Vista Basic skin to make it look like the XP version as much as possible.

Interesting, but when I did this for you months ago you said no because of the way the log off buttons turned out in Vista.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Yeah I know. But since there's no way of changing that I thought I might as well give atleast someone permission to release a port. I thought that Vista Stylebuilder would be able to skin the buttons but I never knew that the buttons where inside Explorer.exe. If you told me that back then then you could have had my permission for black. If you still want to do ports for the colors then you've got my permission. But be sure to send me screenshots before you release any :)

Any updates on WE: BlueSE?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Ofcourse. But I'm not going to post them all :p

[martin10018]

Ofcourse. But I'm not going to post them all :p

And any updates on the update for the older version? Did you ever get the finished shellstyles from ... ?

I'm still using Black and Blue!

Merry Christmas and keep up the good work.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Scirwode is working on the shellstyles. I gave him all the files that he needs to make them. The other styles aren't getting any major updates anymore, they'll only get big fixes :)

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too :)

[Spartan Erik]

Any chance for a Christmas Day update? If possible, could you give a "% complete" progress update? I still can't wait for this theme

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I can't give anyone a "% complete" update because there's no to do list. There's also not a limit set to how long I'm work on the images and how many times I remake them. I thought I had a final look for the start panel a few weeks back but turns out that I started working on that AGAIN yesterday.

I honestly can't tell how far I'm done with the visual style, sorry.

Can't wait to pair these two together :)

[Jamushroom Veteran]

You do know that the Black version is going to be released a long time from now right? :p

[Punio4]

Ye, but I can keep on dreaming :D

[bjoswald]

The screenshots for the next version of Emico aren't to my liking whatsoever. However, I _love_ Watercolor Emico: Blue. Thank you for the hard work and dedication. Best Windows XP theme I've ever seen.

Watercolor Emico: Black - Vista Port :)

I think I speak on behalf of a lot of people. Needs more Vista + transparency .

Also... What's the deal on the Winamp skins? Anyone working on one?

Couldn't wait for a release...so I modded my mod of WE Black Classic (and also changed the color to from red to blue) :D

I need to mod the window frames still, but it's looking to be a very slick theme once it's finished!

Wow. That is an amazing mod. Both blue and the red + Luna!

Capric0rn's already spoken ad nauseum about how and why the Vista port would not have Aero/DWM capibilities. He has his own vision for a Vista version of Emico.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Yep. There's probably going to be a Vista version around the time that I've got Vista on my PC. Then there will be a "real" Vista version with Aero features.

@tehmemories: The red taskbar isn't a mod. It's the black version of my new Watercolor theme :)

@Bri-: Thanks :D I can't create a theme that everyone likes though. And IMO, the BlueSE theme is looking way better then Watercolor Emico: Blue.
