Sosumi final (i think?)


Recommended Posts

Well, it's final in that i've finished all the work on all the graphics for it, and the only thing i'm not entirely sure of is whether there might be one or two little bugs lurking in there somewhere, i think i've squashed most of them, but you can never be entirely sure ;)

Only really minor changes from the old version, most notably a different graphic for the hidden-systray-icons-revealing-arrow-thing (whatever the damn thing is called) and an improved shellstyle.dll, with matching control panel backgrounds and a few other things

Anyway, i'm just now uploading it, and updating it on themexp, so you can download it either directly from here, or (when it's updated) from Themexp.org here

:)

ooh, nearly forgot, obligatory screenshot:

Sweeeetness! is the image in the top right of the window part of the theme?

also one thing I didn't like with the first beta was the huge font in the start menu, has that chnaged at all?

From what I see, IT looks niice :D

d'oh, yeah, the bit in the top right is winamp3 (probe skin). Didn't even realise that was there :o

Yes, the start menu is supposed to be that plain.

If you want to change the size of the clock font, you'll have to use reshack and find and change the font value in hte [TrayNotify::Clock] section of the .ini file.

Damnit, just noticed something i missed in the shellstyle (the special tasks watermarks/background colour in the tasklist).

Fixed now :)

Just about to upload the updated version, so you can go grab it in a few minutes :)

Ok two shellstyle bugs I'm at work so I can't give it a full workout but I did notice these two things the background color on hidden folders is wrong and the tip of the pencil has a hole in it due to a little wierdness with how the image is drawn by the OS I'm also including a link for you ahra to an optimized bitmap to replace bitmap 26 that won't have this problem (just for future reference it always does this when it does select a different color from the pallet and do a fill to replace the color that doesn't get drawn sometime you have to play with it a little)

Here's bitmap 26 26.bmp

Thanks for hte bitmap. Any ideas where that background colour is specified? usually i've managed to find things by searching for the rgb values of the colours, but that's not gonna be possible this time, since it's somehow got set to the same colour as 90% of the other elements in the shellstyle :mad:

I /think/ that's everything now :) (hadn't spotted that one before, since i got rid of those ages ago... i was wondering where that bitmap was used though :) )

I'll have a fixed version uploaded in about five minutes, it'll be available immediately from the arsware.org link, and it'll update on themexp/org eventually...

i was going to say that the purple/blue-ish scroll bars look out of touch with the rest of the theme, but then i checked Sinwave original site and noticed that they are purple in the original sosumi for osx as well. :)

understandable about missing that color I originally found it because I wondered what that bitmap was for too. And having done several shellstyles now it's on of thos things I check for that and the tip of the pencil and the user accounts window (haven't checked that on yours yet as I'm on a domain here at work) and that the images in special folder show up properly and stuff like that after youv'e done it a couple times you figure out what all t does and what can go wrong.

you have to conver the colors to hex before you search for them I'm just letting you know now in cas you didn't alredy know how to do the user accounts panel it's a bit more of a pain in the ass it's all in the .css files on the bottom of the list in reghack also you should color the green arrow down there it only works on the user accounts windows but it looks good and lastly you might want to use black for the font color in the mainwindow due to an issue with the text on some of the daughter windows not using the same color as you have selected for the text but instead using the color of the text in the title bar of the little windows in the taskpane just a word of advice it can be a pain

Ok, i think i've finally squashed all the bugs and missing bits now... (and if i find any more i'll be ready to throttle whoever at ms it was that came up with the structure of that damn file...)

Anyway, download the final final (i hope) version from here (and from themexp.org when they get round to updating...)

Hello!

I usually connect to my machine at work from home using the Remote Desktop Connection feature. For some reason, the remote desktop client crashes when I use Sosumi (on the work machine). More specifically, it crashes when I hit the Start button. Any clues?

BTW, Great work!
