yeah, expect v.9 soon...i will have some time after finally moving and unpacking this weekend to get on the bugs....does anyone want to sum up the bugs from .8? hidea...?

<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: )

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]

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

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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. ;)

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
