[VS] FubarShibby

[gigapixels Veteran]

Current Version: 1.8.2

Updates: Fixed a few small bugs and changed a couple of small graphics...

Plans: No definite plans anymore... Unless I get requests for other color schemes (hint, hint) but I do plan to find things that can be changed in MiniShibby to define it better... And I'm going to make a shellstyle too...

Here's my newest VS. Since my last one didn't go anywhere, I figured I'd have another try. This new one is based upon the look of my personal website. Here's a screenie:

Enjoy!

And PLEASE give me bugs and ANYTHING that you can find. Oh, and if you know how to fix the bug, that would be great if you could tell me considering I'm still pretty new to designing Visual Styles... :)

Not bad, but the color... :/

[gigapixels Veteran]

don't worry, i plan to add blue, green, and yellow

Hey, it's blackbox ready. ;)

Nice looking theme, the gradient reminds me of the MetalColor one (which is a good thing!).

A lighter blue version of this VS, but with the font as Tahoma, would look really nice :)

Little.. wide?

[gigapixels Veteran]

Little.. wide?

yes that's because i was using a reg hack to fix the font cut-off bug when using lucida grande or another font... it automatically resizes the windows... it shouldn't be like that on your computer unless you're using the same fix too...

screenshot of start menu / taskbar / button? Pretty nice of what I see.

[gigapixels Veteran]

ok here's a screenie of the start menu in ice... you can pretty much tell how fire looks...

[morkuma]

whoa, check the pink surrounging the fubarshibby....

[gigapixels Veteran]

don't worry that's just the screenie... the quality isn't the greatest ;)

[preantek]

try using png images to post here,they will look much better

nice work... I'd like to see it in a less intense color (think pastel something!)... but nothing too wrong with this at all.

Well done!

[gigapixels Veteran]

awesome thanks for your comments :-D to hear praise from you guys just feels really good...

well i'm gonna make a new color scheme with the two colors #B6CEE7 and #7E98BB with the first being the light color and the second being the dark. that's a less intense color - a nice light blue. i think you might like it... i'm trying to find a good red to go with as a lighter version... if you have a good suggestion for the dark shade of it that would be great. i'll keep you all posted with my progress. but right now i must go because today i'm going to six flags with a bunch of my friend :-D it'll be a good break from this computer screen...

Looks pretty nice, the red is too deep a color for me though.

[gigapixels Veteran]

ok green is almost done and then i'll get started on yellow... after i finish those two, i'll work on lighter versions of all four... i figured i'd let you all know. and if you have any requests for a color, tell me cuz i'm on summer vacation and there's really nothing much more i can do ;)

[+Fahim S. MVC]

I look forward to the lighter blue. Good luck!

[gigapixels Veteran]

thanks L0KI :D ok i updated it... added wind color variation (green) and i'm workin on the yellow now... the lighter versions are my next priority after that and then any that people might request...

edit: i've got a bit of a request... can you all help me find some good wallpapers to go with each color scheme? i'd really like to have some nice looking wallpapers to package with this...

why not make them yourself?... then you own the package!

[gigapixels Veteran]

well, i'm not too creative with stuff like that... and i can't think of something that would go well with fire and ice and wind and electricity... i've got fire and ice, but i can't figure out anything for the others... oh well i guess i'll mess around in photoshop and see what i can come up with...

[gigapixels Veteran]

ok i've updated it MAJORLY... check the first post!

[b0se]

Looking nicer mate...

To make the windows normal size (they still look a bit large) you need to make sure any images you are using are as small as possible. This also keeps the size of the download to a minimum.

This is because you can use the sizing margins to stretch a certain area of the image as much as needed. From the look of the screenshots, your tab images may be large... If its not that it'll be the caption bars.

If its neither, dammit I don't know :)

Keep up the good work! (Y)

[gigapixels Veteran]

thanks for the comments b0se :-D i think the reason the windows were so large before is because i had used the cut-off fix that i posted a while ago and used lucida grande which is a generally large font. now i'm using tahoma i believe so the windows are back to normal ;) i'm gonna get started on the lighter versions in a couple hours! so i'll probably have Flare done by the end of the day (hopefully)

[Rudi1]

cool style fubarshibby! ;) but can you add light blue color?

thanx

[b0se]

Ah ok m8, good luck :)

A light blue version would be well nice (Y)
