I can hardly wait, and I'm dying to upload the DX theme, wall, logonvista, and bootskin pro!!!
Hey, I also made a cursor. What is the cursor you are using in the shot?
WoooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i finaly finished the vista side of the skin.......
Now for some testing.
Then the XP side.
I'm going to need 2-3 testers For the vista skin only.......
So if you have Vista and would like to do some testing for me let me know............
SORRY XP Users it's just not ready for XP yet..
Just 2 or 3 people....
I'm in!
I'm 2of3, does that count?
Send me an pm with e-mail.....
Well that's 2...
First of all, I LOVE this skin!
Very smooth graphics work. Nice soft corners
Only 2 "problem" areas that I have discovered and I've prepared a picture to explain:
I would also suggest skinning the search and navigation icons, but that's optional. Also the IE7 icons aren't skinned (I know they are a pain in the ass......)
Fantastic skinning, Rob!
Well ya know I'm in, Dude! I have the dark text on mouseover in menus. I do see the shadow that 2of3 found also.
Normal menus, yes. But on the start menu pop up menus? ( the menus for switch user, log off, lock, restart etc)
Thanks Tim i've been trying to change that mouse over for two days............
As for the line in the menu i had all ready fixed that one........
Thank's a bunch Tim for you help...........
Any idear how to change the mouseover on the programs list too......?
The writing needs to be black....
Oh, I see now. You are right,Tim.
Dont worry guy's i worked it out.......
thanks
Thanks Robbie Boy it looks great here in Vista, FF3 looks great in it, I love the way the taskbar floats at the bottom of the screen and transparency has been used so as not to be intrusive. Sure is a winner, now to see if I can break it. Oh forgot the selected icon FX on the desktop is really nice touch the way it is magnified transparently almost.
Thanks it's great you like it.......
As for FF3, Iuse Firefox 3 all the time so it had to work well not just IE7 but FF3 too.....
Not shure if it works in IE8....
P.S. all you testers out there i just sent you the new WB file with about 20 changes in it......Hope you like the changes..
All seems fine in IE8, see shot with accelerators turned on.
The menu problem "shadow sliver" is fixed and menu background seems tad darker too, text now black off start panel menus too.
seems like Windowblind dosent skin IE8
Well not yet......
Ausvet is that the WB file i sent you....?
Yes the second file.
ie8 menubars are their own very pale blue not your gray. Could be worse though lots of blinds set these bars treble width so if all 5 shown lot of real estate lost. I imagine it is all hard coded in too.
IE8 menus skinned except the favorites one mouseover is a default pale blue unlike the other menus that go with your cyan color as set.
That's the text you asked about in the mail, Rob?
Good news is: it's fine on IE7
Bad news: I don't know how to fix it!
This is a great skin, man........time to upload and share it with the others!
Do you think it's ready......
I can't find any other problems Opera 8.5 skins itself so it's OK.
I think I read in an article IE8 was to be hard coded more, may have been in one of Frogboys W7 articles.
Excellent blind great for working to and for showing off too.
Here is my little contribution to this skin. I have, ready for uploading, cursor, logonvista, bootskin pro, and a DX theme and a few walls. Here is a screeny of the WB, Wall, DX theme and Cursor. Thanx Robbie Boy for giving me so much to work with!
