Velvet Waves

[morsmordre]

Probably my favorite theme. If you're still considering colors, a washed out red would be nice. :)

o i like it .. keep the good work up :)

It's obvious you did not use Stylebuilder to make this. I just tried it out and it's awesome! Thank you so much for this theme.

It should show up in the list on the appearance page of Display Properties (you may need to close Display Properties and open it again to refresh the list). If it doesn't show up make sure you have a recent version of the 'patched' uxtheme dll. People have had problems before when using an old version.

WOW !!! I love this visual style !!!!

It's so smooth !!

I don't know if it's a bug but, with the google toolbar the buttons are not aligned

It should look like "this", i think :

Hmmm....is there a Trillian Pro 2 Skin in the works?

Technically it is a bug due to the smaller than 'normal' toolbar buttons. The problem is that the google toolbar doesn't use the content margins for the various items quite how it should. I don't plan on releasing a version with a 'fix' since that would mean making the toolbar buttons in every other app bigger again. Having said that it's easy enough to change by opening up the ini files if you want to do so yourself. The values you need to change are the top and bottom content margins for the toolbar (last two values). I'd suggest using a value of 4 for both.

I'm afraid that's not even on the list. If anyone else wants to give a shot - go for it, just let me take a look before you release.

For those that mentioned colours first on the list would have to be teal/tan after that would probably be grey and red. These are not going to happen very soon though as I have a lot of other things to be doing at the moment so don't hold your breath. I also reserve the right to deny that I even said I would consider them if anyone asks!

I tried to edit the visual style with ResHacker, I found the values to change, but I wasn't able to change them. I looked into the everaldo 2 theme (the second screenshot, in my previous post), and there's no ContentMargin value in the toolbar section of the ini.

Any Idea ? I love your theme, and I would like to see this problem fixed.

Just mirror the settings in the Everaldo VS (if there isn't a content margin set take it out and vice versa).

awesome style. good job man (Y)

[iamthelaw]

loving it :D

[TheDuke]

This is honestly the best Visual Style I have ever used..and I go through them alot, but I am for sure keeping this one, for a long time, or until you put out another good one...I hope someone makes a Trillian Pro 2 Skin, that would so rock with this theme..I am using the Winamp skin also..this is really some eye candy,

Thank you..! :D

[abaxion]

anybody will be able to make skins for winamp and trillian????

I've already done WinAMP skins :whistle: check the first post.

I tried to change it using PE Resource Explorer, but after the changes, I've got an error when I try to use it :(

Please, telle me which app to use, or could you do this for me ?

[Rabid Bird]

Wow nice theme. Sadly enough I do not have XP and I cannot use this theme. Would it be possible to have an object bar version of it?

Thanks,

[dpanda]

very nice.

I've made a colortheme for winamp 5 ;) :cool:

To install just extract the attached .zip file (contains a .xml file) to:

C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes\Winamp Modern

(Where "C:\Program Files\Winamp" is your winamp install directory)

Please reply if this doesn't work... :blush:

Also @ author of velvet waves, please pm me if you don't want this distributed, as you will see if you open the xml, you are properly credited in the comment field. :)

Theme Request:

Any chance of a better looking start button when using the theme with a vertical taskbar? Maby a button similar to the taskbuttons?

Im not expecting the wave idea to be executed in vertical mode, but something that looks a bit cleaner than the cut of wave would be nice. (Not sure if it can be done, but as far as i remember from my attemts at making msstyles it should be...) :unsure:

EDIT:

looks sweet Dipso !!

Glad you liked it, did you use my install method? As i haven't tested that method on my system yet.

EDIT 2:

As someone mentioned earlyer, a trillian skin would be awsome, as thats all thats missing from completing my desktop.

EDIT 3: :rolleyes:

Heres a screenshot illustrating the problem, and my sweet desktop ;)

Full Size

EDIT 4: :blush: (Last one, I swear!)

Incase it makes a differance im using STYLEXP, so if that is the cause of my problems (Shouldn't be) just give a shout. ;)
