This is a very nice theme. :D I like it very much. :) One question... will you ever skin the taskbar similar to the window bars? Like, the box/tile pattern by the clock.

Keep up the good work! :D

nope, he has stated before he won't be doing that. it's easy to do yourself, if you have the bitmaps. :)

Is it possible to put the Watercolor squares in the shellstyle? & make the color like the titlebar:):) ....

Radish.

No. I don't want this theme to look tacky, and adding mozaic's all over the place would do just that:unsure:e: Thats why I still to this day wont add the mozaic to the startpanel or taskbar. Watercolor is meant to be a classic type theme where your eyes arnt bothered by out of the place graphics/eye candy. I think if I started 'spicing it up' it would start to lose it's professionalism.

Sorry but thats just how I see it. You guys can always edit the theme to your likings.

Oh, and the color is the same as the right hand side of the titlebar, I tried the light blue, but it was way too distracting.

Excellent use of WinRAR SFX for the installer :)

I am impressed with just that :p

Nice theme, however could you please add rounded corners to the "All Programs" option in the start menu? :)

Sorry, that's not possible, it's just a selection.

In light of recent WB adaptions, I have also updated watercolor to look 'better' in apps like photoshop. Here's a screenie of the next revision:

Now before you guy's start bitching ;)... NO there wont be any mozaic's added to these small tool window frame captions. Why? Because they just get squished anyways, and PS is what most people use, and a mozaic could distract from their current task at hand. So they will be nice and clean looking now, and hopefully less distracting/buggy.

Also the next revision will sport new shellstyles (as seen above) and a black colour scheme.

The summer/fall colour packs will be released later on. I'm just trying to squash the last few remaining bugs/annoyances before I jump into colour packs :) They will be much easier to maintain if there are no bugs to comb through in each substyle.

*edit* oh and I have semi-fixed the taskbar scrollbar issue, though it wasnt really necessary to fix.

I am also interested in the colored taskbar.

I PM'ed Dazzala and recieved no response.

I also PM'ed other members that displayed it in their desktops and they wont send it to me because its a mod of someone elses work!

Could someone please send me these bmp's? :huh:

Is it possible to get the owner to allow these bitmaps to be posted? :) Really great work! Can't wait for more color schemes!

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.

      Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
