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?

Chris

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.

Chris

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.

Chris

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

Here ya go semifamous & kainash:D:D ....

Radish.

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...

    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
