The modded version AFAIK is done by Dazzla, and Tim/Binary said they will not make a version like this ....

Radish.

Yep, but a lot of pple modded it just like that. Where did they get the bitmap?:ninja:a:

Just ask Dazzla via P:):) ....

Radish.

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.

Chris

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.

Chris

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.

Chris

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:

psfix.jpg

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.

Chris

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!

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
