[VS] DMX 2.0

[b0se]

RaINE: Where does this slowdown occur? I've not noticed it myself....

spacey: will fix that when I get home tomorrow :)

Dark Vageta: thats not a bug it follows the caption bar style, if however, no-one likes it I'll remove it totally...

xcession: no probs, I really appreciate your efforts on the Winamp skin, excellent skin and it also means I can spend my time fiddling with Trillian Pro skin :)

b0se: I'm gonna iron out some small bugs here and then I'll post the Windowblinds version in just a bit. On tuesday, I'll be able to go into work and iron it out for windowblinds 3.5, too :)

2 me it looks outta place IMHO still great theme

[kainashi]

yeah, i think it looks out of place too. great theme otherwise though. ;)

[b0se]

OK I'll get rid of it :) Was in split minds about it in the first place, I'll get rid of the border completely I think...

timdorr: excellent news :)

Anyone want me to include the original Classic version of the theme? Its basically much closer to Windows Classic, but with some nice touches here and there.

[redrope]

Umm, obviously. :D

[RadishTM Veteran]

Keep the Classic version please b0se :happy: ....

Radish.

[b0se]

I suppose that was a stupid question :)

Its basically 'flat' version of Classik, the inactive caption bars give away its main appearance.

Will post it tomorrow when I get back.

excession: you mind if I include the Winamp skin in the forthcoming builds? Obviously all credit will be given to you in the readme :)

OK :yes:

[b0se]

Excellent, thanks!

If you'd like me to include your e-mail address just PM me it, if not thats np :)

[Tim Dorr Veteran]

ok, here we go. this is the in-progress WB4 version. I've tested it with the latest WindowBlinds builds off ObjectDesktop and it should include toolwindow support. Areas to work on:

-Start Panel stuff (I've done my best here, but it can still be tweaked)

-Other color schemes

-anything else that comes up

Here you go:

Wow. Awesome.

I was going to use this as my default theme...until two teeny weeny little "glitches" popped up. heh.

In Corel 11 products, the menus seem to have lost their borders, so with the exception of the drop-shadows, you cannot tell where the menus begin or end. The menus end up blending in with the color of the toolbars.

In AutoCAD 2004, the toolbar buttons seem to be chopped off on the right or bottom sides, depending on if the toolbar is vertical or horizontal.

These problems are probably not fixable, so oh well.

I've noticed that the latest versions of these two products have included buttons and menus that were designed to flow with Microsoft's Luna theme. (Kind of like the way Office XP has included the blue/grey-on-white that supposedly goes well with it too.) What really ticks me off is that you cannot turn off these options to go back to Classic--you're always stuck with what they think looks good on Luna. This takes away from many other great skins that could be used instead. It's not just Autodesk or Corel. There are tons of companies that do that. This is more of a rant to the developers of those programs, not to you. ;-)

That aside,

You have created a magnificent visual style, b0se. Although I regret that I am too picky to use it, I still love it. Keep up the great work.

I forgot to upload what they're suppose to look like.

[bayrider]

will there be a wide start menu for classix2 and graphite2 or will we be stuck with wide versions of classix1 and graphite1

i can still live with graphite1 version of DMX, still a beautiful theme IMO

Will post it tomorrow when I get back.

Woohoo! This is great news. When I first downloaded DMX, I immediately thought "This inactive title bar is nice...I'd love a theme with an active title bar that looks like this."

I'm stoked.

Note also that the normal start panels have been changed for Classik3 and Graphite3

[biko]

The 2000 looks identical to Windows 2000 with dmx buttons? Maybe theres more Ill try it out.

[IlliniPi]

These variants are lookin' pimpalicious. Nice work b0se! :D

Its meant to look like Windows 2000 :D

I love the Windows Classic theme, but the start panel looks horrid, so I made this variant as a replacement for Win2K!

[biko]

Actually Ya its nice and subtle the best thing is the inactive windows, nice job bose, but back to the Graphite3 for me.

[b0se]

Thanks :) They're the inactive captions from Classik...

Using Graphite myself, although I do really enjoy the 2000 caption bars!

[BroChaos Veteran]

hey is it just me, or is graphite2 the classik color? actually, it's not the classc color, but somewhere inbetween the 2.
