Ambient VS by tornado5 (alias em3)

[martin10018]

@martin10018: Both em3 and me couldn't reproduce the bug so it's also unknown how to fix it. Have you tried using the visual style without Styler on that PC?

No since I cannot. I don't have adminstrative rights on this pc and therefore cannot patch uxtheme.dll. This is the first visual style to have this problem. But I can live with it since I use another visual style ATM where I do the beta test for an artist from the Netherlands. ;)

Hm, interesting. I suppose that visual style doesn't have that bug?

[Jmste]

Love this theme but its a tough choice though, its either this or Watercolor Emoico which are 2 great themes.

Looks awesome! Though I can't use it as I moved to Vista. Though I like the default vista UI, I am hoping there be some similarly slick themes for Vista in the future.

Hm, interesting. I suppose that visual style doesn't have that bug?

No, of course not. Ambient is 'a first' with this bug for me...

[em3]

Am I the only one who is missing the 'help' button in the frame captions?

Styler is causing this. At the moment I don't know how to fix it. I'm still trying though.

Nice VS, even better than Watercolor Emico. Anyway, anyone make shellstyle?

[Krokus]

A small update is out. :)

[Jamushroom Veteran]

And you can also read now that there's not going to be a black version :p

[virgo89]

Releasing a fine theme is never enough for some people ;)

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Indeed. It's becoming a standard for users that a visual style that isn't black should be made black. If you look at the comments on Ambient at deviantART you'll see a whole lot of people almost demanding it.

This is nothing against you though Krokus :p

* Fixed small issue with help button position.

Hmm, did not help for me. But I can live with it.

i'm saddened. this vs has one of the nicest start buttons that i've seen in a long time, but i use an alt. shell and never see the standard windows start button/taskbar.

I know this fix don't fix the issue with Styler. It was a fix for the position as the text say. The help button was 1px to far to the left.

New version available.

? Added alternative window style. (Classic)

? New start menu design.

? Removed right white line on tab page, causing issue with tabs aligned right.

? Fixed issue on the tray area.

? Fixed unintentional light on taskbar buttons and grouped taskbar buttons.

? Made some minor changes to separators on the toolbar and statusbar.

? Changed color of the explorerbar background.

[hey07]

Problem with start menu right panel icon in the new version. icons are not shown correctly. icons are set to 48x48. Dont have problem with old version.

[em3]

I don't know how you changed the icon sizes but this is not a bug since you've changed the default settings. The icons on the right should be 24x24.

EDIT:

Found the Large Icons options. Gonna look into this and see if I can fix it.

Edited February 22, 2009 by em3

[em3]

Update out. Support for large icons. If you use large icons select this option in the Font Size list.

[skelly831]

Thanks for the updates em3, I like the new start menu. I miss the Segoe font option though lol
