<rant>This is what I was talking about in the LunaIII thread, unique. If you cared about this theme that you took over for mgartner, you would have made MUCH more progress with this theme than where you are now. Hell, you don't even know what's wrong with it...you have to ask other people. There are STILL bugs in it that people have been reporting to you since you STARTED this project (content margins as one example).

My main point is that if you saw that you weren't going to have time to update this, you should have passed this theme and the permissions along to someone else. No, "theming" shouldn't be your life and no one demanded it from you but when you say you'd do something and you don't do it, that says a lot about your character.

So don't get your panties in a wad when someone actually produces results and posts their work on a project that the original author has given his permissions away on. If you cared, you would have produced results like you said you would.</rant>

Thanks!

Quoted for emphasis. I think the proper thing to do now unique would be to pass the theme to someone who is passionate and dedicated to the completion of this wonderful theme ('cept alanzeino :whistle: )

I thought Xeon contributed the most to this startup...where'd he go?

[Lighter]

Bah, I finished this theme on my own over the past two weeks, with a few minor mods and got rid of the bugs. Good intro for me since I've never themed before. I look forward to unique's updates, wanna see how close I came to what his final vision is. :)

[edit] Well that was a quick. :) There's only one screenshot and it's in my sig :p . I worked on the theme for myself, not to egg on unique (besides, he did the work, I just tweaked). Posting screens of my mod will just add fuel to the banter --though I admit, this post did just that. At least wait until .9 is released, hopefully this weekend. [/edit]

actually, that is false...I took some things from him, and we conversed about changes...other than that, he has disapeered....I will be finishing this theme, to get you guys off my back...yeah, i am passionate about this theme, but I am passionate about eating/living first. fool.

[Smitjel]

blah blah blah. fool.

Oh god, not the "F" word :cry:

Oh god, not the "F" word :cry:

glad to see you care so much about a fellow neowinian, and so little about a theme.

[Dude]

I want you all to disappear.

[unique]

I want you all to disappear.

Did anyone hear that? :unsure:

Anyways, I need some 'theming' help...for the start menu... 'all programs' the sub menus...getting the not to look like this "Creati..." ANYONE know? I want to get this fixed asap. SHpanks.

Ok, what are the main things people want to see in the next release .9. We lost a load of posts due to the neowin crash (THAT IS WHY I NEED TO KNOW...I CAN'T GET POSTS BACK)

So please post what you want done...start button is fixed...few other changes I wanted...anyone have anything else they want to see?

20 pages, most bugs/suggestions are still there

start button

start menu dead space (just looks too empty above 'turn off')

all-progs menu width

kill excess space between progs in all-progs menu

white border highlight for mouseover close/min/max buttons (request)

increase the small taskbar size by ~2px so systray icons don't hit top border (I couldn't get this right myself)

shellstyle? (request)

can you make a softer systray open/close chevron? I've been playing with that but nothing I've done seems to fit the theme without altering the systray. :)

[Smitjel]

bayrider posted a nice mod he came up with and it had the original luna chevron and it looked nice. I think the recent crash deleted his post or something.

Could we get another look bayrider?

i love the thin taskbar, please leave that as an option. I would love a outline for the mousover on the min, max, close icons...possibly a white box outline? A shell would be incredible if you end up with the time. Thank you for all your hard work.

[SYPHADIUS]

is it possible to have the user pic back on the star menu? that would be great, thanks

and btw keep up the good work, although the updates are a bit long to wait for they are worth it... it's a shame your getting so much heat for this...

anyhow good luck with the updates.

All these are a great start.

If the taskbar was a bit taller, you wouldn't have to move the start flag, I don't think.

All-Programs menu width (content margins, I'm told) still needs to be corrected.

The white border around the min/max/x would be used instead of the awkward blue that's in place now? I still like the caption buttons in Watercolor Lite and noodle's Classic 2...I think something like that would fit this VS nicely.

Active tabs still look terrible (example, display properties), mainly just get rid of the shading and leave the blue highlight on top.

Shellstyle would be nice but I don't think any ideas have been presented yet...would be ncie to see what anybody had in mind.

I think the font could be changed back to what it originally was...it's too small and not as readable with the font you have now. Is the title bar font Tahoma or Verdana? I think that's what it should be...

cannot stress how much i agree

[Dude]

If you could create an alternate start panel without the curved lines/colors, but maybe just straight lines/colors.

That way it would look cleaner.

Maybe an alternate start button with 4 squares making the windows flag (LIKE MOST PEOPLE SUGGESTED)

This things gonna be a the best theme ever made when it's done. A team of German Artists and Scientists have been working on it under Unique's watchfull eye for almost a month now. ;)
