[VS] Win7-Blend for Windows 7

[Fluxii Media]

Love the new beta thus far... I have a few suggestions that I left on your deviantart page for it... also; when you hover over the "Show Desktop" button there is no hover change, is that what you wanted? I think a slight change when you hover over it would make it better though. Maybe a gradient on the Preview square when you hover over an open program would be nice, one that matches the top of your Title Bars. :)

i know.. its old bug :p

Found another similar bug, happens when my mouse hovers over a running app's icon in the superbar. (It's not flashing, hovered)

Anyways, this is great theme, absolutely love it! Hope you can find a way to deal with the super bar bugs soon.

[Fluxii Media]

That's a bug with x64 only. Been around since his last theme.

[Zain Adeel]

yea.. its just a beta guys.. :p

and Decaytion.. i know what ur saying..

i havnt done the preview pan yet :)

[Zain Adeel]

Well, the sky blue color looks very good to me.

[Fluxii Media]

Nice updates. And glad to see you're taking my advice with the preview window. :) Looks good.

As for the other bit; well... that sky blue IS nice, but maybe a nice soft red would be good too. :)

with the 'download progress bar' most designers opt for a blue or a green...they generally choose an 'easy on the eyes' colour to compliment their theme...

maybe it's time to experiment with a bolder colour as 'Decaytion' suggests.

Smart man right here.

Agree with the darker color and i would choose a darker version of graphite.

ok well. leme ask

dark blue??

black?

or brighter blue?

[mike45]

it seems you want to stay with the more sedate colours Zain so I'd try a darker blue if it's only those 3 colours you wish to choose from.

[Zain Adeel]

well that is just what i think..

i would love to see u edit my screenshot with photoshop and paint over it the way u want the HDD space bars to be..

and the download bars will be the same but green..

so i am all open for suggestions.

ok for all the people who wana try my theme ive put of a beta <img src="https://cdn.neowin.com/forum/uploads/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

heres the link.

<a href="http://zainadeel.deviantart.com/art/Win7-Shine-v1-0-beta-151101697" target="_blank">Win7-Shine beta v1.0</a>

I like your release a lot!!!

Now I swtch to Win7-Shine from Win7-Blend now :rolleyes:

But I find a bug, please take a look:

When I pressed on the icon, there is a pink line at the bottom.

[mike45]

actually I did post a screenshot earlier but for some reason it looks like it was removed from my post...

I will post it again here with various colours but I'm more than happy to go along with whatever you choose...it is after all your design and a damned good one at that :)

[Zain Adeel]

well i know about the bug..

dont worry this beta is just for ppl who wana take a close look at the theme. Not for day to day use :)

and Mike!!..

wow..

that is exactly what im talkin about!!

well

i tried what u did on DRIVE H

but i found it tooo boring.. lifeless

then i tried F but with blue color. it wasnt what i wanted.

but i love ur DRIVE L and DRIVE E

ill go with DRIVE L..

what do u ppl say??

green for everything?? except the red for harddrive full???

[Zain Adeel]

ok guys..im quite happy with this..

so tell me if this is good.

coz i have a good idea of doing everything green.. the bars i mean.

lolx...

the forum is stretching my attachment :p

click on it to view its original size.

[mike45]

the green works for me Zain...probably won't please everyone but I thought I'd just throw them examples out there for you :)

[ooomph]

green is good

hope you (or somebody else) can fix the x64 bug, it makes it pretty much unusable, and that's a shame.

BTW, bug is not present in WIn7-Blend on x64.

[0nyX]

Green is quite good Zain but i cant help noticing that the red on Drive F: at mike's45 picture turns out better then i expected.

IMO it gives a more professional look but as mike45 said its your theme and a damn good one no matter the color.

[mike45]

your screenshot with tweaked bars Zain...

I suppose using red instead of green gives the impression the drive is almost full...can be confusing to some users I'm guessing.

[Zain Adeel]

ok there is something wrong with the forums...the font size has reduced SO MUCH!!.. :s

and guys.. i think the green i went with is pretty good i dont want it to be very shiny.. or glass-like

anyhow.. :)

in the meanwhile i was bored tonight to work on the theme.. so i did the superbar icons instead. i made 6 icons for myself which i pin to the superbar in SQUARE.. and they are totally done by me. And im working on a square startorb based on the microsoft store logo. :)

i hope i can get past the alpha channel thing that goes over my head.

and i did the icon just like their default ones so its not so different that it feels changed. Just squared ;)

but yes had to do a little new concept on the Internet Explorer icon :)

here is a screen shot :)

ok after posting the small font thing is fixed. (its back to its normal size)

[Ionium]

Looks real good so far :D
