[VS] Watercolor Lite v2.0

[Elliott]

Binary -

Have you thought of including a "small start panel" like b0se uses in his themes? - I think it would be a great addition.

Absolutely not :) I dislike that type of start menu very much :) (no offense to the slim start menu styles). But you guys can easily open it up in stylebuilder and change the margins yourself.

Chris

I agree. Annoying, and just doesn't feel right. :blink: I'm glad I no longer have a start menu. :p

Binary, I am always available for hosting if you need it!

Binary when the shell styles for Watercolor Lite are released will they look the same as the shell styles in Watercolor 4.3? :)

no, they look the same as the shellstyles in My Watercolor XP windowblinds skin.

Oh ok sweet :)

Also thanks for all the hard work you have done making the Watercolor Lite VS Binary. :happy:

the hanging of explorer.exe on my machine is possibly caused by watercolor (regular and lite), still investigating, give me a few more days to observe, does anyone experience explorer hanging/crashing after they use watercolor?

Never. I doubt very much that any msstyle would cause this.

Perhaps a hacked uxtheme.dll is the troublemaker?

im actually using styleXP. if the problem is really in watercolor i will try to use a hacked uxtheme.dll to see if it will work.

[ivan2]

oh btw ive been using watercolor for like 6 monthes now, i never wonder why i am forced to kill explorer sometime until i changed my theme to advance4 like the beginning of the week, windows xp seems to be good again...

I highly recomend you make the default right click menus use the same method as the start menu does for highlighting text (as it did in the original Whistler screenshots).

I know this is possible because I have seen it done in many other msstyles.

It looks much better in my opinion! :)

Keep up the great work! ;)

[RadishTM Veteran]

Good idea Ryu7x! (Y) ....

Windows Whistler Screensaver Realesed

Enjoy! ;)

[lexecutil]

Ryu7x good idea but if i remember correct Binary said it aint going to happen cause it will ruin the color somewhere else or sumthin.. not sure though dont take my word for it.

That would mess up the start menu colouring. But, if you want an 'almost' exact replica of the whistler theme, try my Watercolor XP windowblinds theme. It has this idea implemented aswell as numerous others that msstyles just couldnt pull off.

It's on wincustomize, just search watercolor xp :)

Why not make compact menu yourself?

Just get a copy of stylebuilder.

http://www.tgtsoft.com/download.php

Import watercolor.

Do same for a theme with a compact menu.

Resize watercolor pics to same size as compact menu pics,and readjust startpanel items sizes for watercolor theme to same size as items in the compact menu theme.

Click apply,and there ya have it,your own personal custom watercolor.

I've made Shellstyles for both Blue & Ergonomic substyles as I don't use other colours :happy: ....

These were made from the Shellstyles from the Normal Watercolor v4.3 :yes: ....

Below I will post 3 pics of my Watercolor Lite with the Ergonomic Shellstyle in effect - My Computer, Control Panel, and Hard Disk ....

The Blue Shellstyle is exactly the same, just the Blue is brighter as you can imagine :) ....

If you like what you see, I will upload both Shellstyles to the Board ;) ....
