I was looking at the real linux Bluecurve theme and noticed the bottom corners of the windows are curved like the top corners.  Anyway to do that in .msstyles Schmoove?

Yes and no. It is possible I, I tried it, but it didn't really behave like I expected. For some reason it cut of some pixels and shifted the images a little... which looked a little weird. But Maybe I got another solution... I'll try some things out and see what looks best.

EDIT: tried it out and no, the borders have a fixed size. I can't make them any thicker. Also giving it rounded corners looks weird, it shifts one or two pixels to the left which makes it look bad. So it stays how it is now.

I've made my little comments on this style here and there...but I am actually going to come out and say...

Thanks a ton for the awesome style, IP package, etc. You have put a lot of your personal time to bring us this beautiful style and I personally would like to thank you for all the time and effort you have put into this. Regardless of the little things everyone wants to do to change this...you have stayed your ground and that is a GREAT thing. Again I thank you for taking the time to help develop the style and I can't wait to see where else you take this theme. Great job and I hope you keep up the awesome work. You Schmoove are the man!

So I removed All my themes, Loaded Luna, applied the Blue curve Visual Style (style XP made a copy of Luna )

set the background to the bluecurve background... I thought the shellstyle would change the icons? What am I doing wrong? I am running the 2.0 I double checked it!.

or am I incorrect, what does the Shellstyle do then?

when I use control panel category, and move my mouse over a link it turn white, and cant read it

I know, I mentioned in the readme (which apparently no one reads anyways). It is because of the shellstyle, the shellstyle handles that. I'll see if I can fix that, but frankly I'm a little fed up with the shellstyle and resourcehacker.... not very userfriendly.

I'll see what I can do.

If u see the image, notice that the highlight is overlay? Any way I could shorten it or will it be change in the next release?

I don't think you can shorten it, there is not much I can do about that I'm afraid.

Ok fixed some little things, which will be in the next update:

- solid progressbar

- fixed the problem with the shutdownbuttons in the startmenu (alvin's problem... well actually everyone's problem)

- changed the captionbar of toolwindows a little

- tweaked some colors

If anyone has any suggestions, keep them comming!!!

Btw, tried texture on the startmenu... I think it looks ugly, so forget about it.

Good work!! :laugh:

Did you try to make rounded corners in the bottom? Are you going to make it in next updates?

It would be awesome if you could make it!

And the other thing is the problem with the font and the letters that dissapear. :cry:

This is the only thing I hate, but the rest is perfect!

I tried the rounded bottomcorners, but since I can't make the border around the window any bigger it looks akward I think.

So I'm not gonna make rounded bottomcorners unless I find a way to make the border bigger.

Still haven't found the text bug.... I have absolutely no idea what is causing it.

I received an email from someone who says that the bug with the text is caused because I chose a font that is smaller then 8.

I chose Verdana 7, so that explains.

Well Verdana 7 is not gonna change, because I really like that font. So if you really want to fix that bug you can change it to Verdana 8 or some other font yourself.
