[VS] Watercolor Lite v2.0

[Morgensonne77]

I love this theme!!! BUT i have one problem! I use the instant messanger "miranda" and there you can use your contactwindows as "toolstyle window" don't know, what that means BUT in that mode you can easily click on your systray-icon to close this app to tray and open. But with Watercolor Style it stays on desktop. All other themes i tried are working in this mode! In normal mode (not toolstyle) you have all three normal windows-buttons and there is a taskbar-entry for the open window (wich steals space for other apps).

Maybe there is anybody out there using miranda and don't has this problem. But miranda dev's say it has to be a bug in the theme (i also would say as an dev of miranda ;) )...

Thanks

P.S. I have these probs with watercolor xp v4.2 and watercolor lite from this topic.

I just dloaded miranda and have tested it. It works fine in my version. I have updated a few things so maybe something was fixed, but regardless it does work now. I'm not sure when the next updat5e will be though. Can't you just use the normal version of the titlebar instead of tool window mode?

Of course i can... there's no other skin that satisfy me this way... most time the contactlist of miranda is minimized so its no problem!

One question regarding Winamp skins: Could you do one, maybe??? There are some out there, but the only really good is for Winamp3 and that sucks... only a question ;)

Thanks for your quick reply!!!

Any chance of making a smaller start menu and changing the red close box on the small window?

Red close box is already gone in the latest build. And No, I wont be making a small start menu version.

Hey, what's the site set up for this VS again? I can't find it anywhere...

Whats the difference between Watercolor and Watercolor Lite? Thank you :).

Watercolor Lite has classic taskbar size (not thin as thin but classic thin) whereas Watercolor has the Luna sized taskbar or fat taskbar.

Also menu Hilights in Lite are smaller.

I know you don't like compact start menus, but how about one without the user id picture.

That is decided by your Windows settings. If you use Windows XP Home, you're out of luck.

If you're using Windows XP Pro,

• Start > Control Panel
  
• Click User Accounts
  
• Choose the "change how I log on" option
  
• Turn on classic logon

I think he meant the User ID picture at the top of the Start Panel.

Memodude, is that what it will do? ^

And yes what he said applies to that. Try it out.

Oops. I stand corrected.

I have made a "modded" version of the Ergonomic Winamp-Skin. It now contains skin for Media Library, Video Window and Showcover plugin...:D:D

I hope I don't break any Boardrules...

So long as you've got permission there shouldn't be a problem. Looking at your screenshot though the down scroll button arrows probably ought to point down not up :p

[Morgensonne77]

:blush: uhh you're right (should i say it has to be ??? :laugh: ) No its my fault... will be fixed..now!

Thanks

[Morgensonne77]

SH*T.... why the time to edit a post is so short???

Okay... the winamp skin and the screenshot are fixed!

I was just wondering if there are any plans for, or if there is a version of watercolor with a taskbar that is the same color as the start menu? I did some searching but didn't have any success.
