[VS] Watercolor Lite v2.0

[lawtai]

looking at other themes, you need to create a shell folder, then you need to create another folder with the color/name you're using. Such as violet, or ergonomic, and then put the shellstyle in there. For blue, you need to use the name normalcolor.

Don't work for me. Why?

Radish...could we have some instructions on how to use these? I don't have a "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\WatercolorLite\Shell" folder. Thanks for any help!

just create the shell folder folder and a normalcolor folder within that and put it in there :)... Or you could have had a quick look at one or two of your other themes :) .. Either way, you know now

[lexecutil]

Ok this is what to do: goto C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\WatercolorLite\ (C:\ being your windows drive letter). If there is a folder there called Shell then go into it and create a folder called either normalcolor for the blue shell style or ergonomic for the ergonomic one. Then extract the shellstyle.dll file into that folder and reapply the theme and your set.

Binary: I understand you're busy, but I was wondering if there's any hope for a red theme in the future?

[kainashi]

i believe dazzla made a red one, it could easily be added, i'll bet. :)

Thanks again guys for the compliments :happy:, I may make other colours of the Shellstyle if I have sometime on my hands :) ....

Radish.

Your a good kid Radish.

[raduking]

does anyone know a good Theme Creator ? I want to edit my own themes and I didn't find a good tool...

[lexecutil]

raduking if you only want to edit graphics then try reshacker otherwise use stylebuilder.

Hey guys,

I loved Radish's shellstyle, but I thought it could be improved upon in two ways:

1) Making it the watercolor mosaics blend in with the rest of the window

2) Using better quality watercolor bitmaps

I've reshacked the dll with new bitmaps to improve on it. Hope you like it :p

Thanks Radish!

Sorry, just checking, but can you guys see the explanation image I posted, or does geocities not allow hotlinking?

Just in case:

i see it, bah i like the border on the top one better

[Unforgiven]

gunpowda

If you have some time, can you please make the same one, but for Ergonomic shellstyle? :happy:

[RadishTM Veteran]

Unforgiven - I've made an Ergonomic version but it's the top graphic in gunpowda's pic - the second pic is the Shellstyle modified by him :) ....

My version is 2 pages behind if you want it ....

ok, I know things are going a little slowly. I have been busy lately, but I have been working on updates. If you guys wish I can release just the shellstyle (currently only in blue, but I could whip up ergo pretty quick too) to tide you over until the full point release :)

It's up to you guys.

The shell style is basically the same as the one in my WB 4 theme, actually, it's exactly the same :D

Chris

Please release the blue shell style.

It's almost been 5 months since the notion of a new shell style was mentioned by you, Binary. Don't get me wrong, I love this theme and your work, but at this point it has become quite annoying to use the default shell. I understand you may have a lot on your plate, but I think 5 months for a shell style is a little absurd. I hope it has not come to the point where you can no longer support this theme. :(

Geezus Animaniac...

binary...Watercolor rox! w/ or w/out the shellstyles thanks a million times over!

[segfault]

the exe file is with the xp start button?

[RadishTM Veteran]

No legooolas, it isn't, you have to add it via StyleBuilder - Binary posted the bitmap sometime back :) ....

Radish?
