rubab Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks for making this Nice Theme.Is there any way you can make the Start Button small so that i won't need to double the taskbar's width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samkov Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 ill see what i can do, i was actually thinking the same thing earlier todaystay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMIRZ Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Sorry, the theme is really awesome, but when i am using TuneUp styler to apply it (i dont use Uxtheme patch anymore after purchasing Tuneup), the Start Menu button becomes crazy (half). I have to agree with Bober. Please see the attachment. (sorry for the bad crop, i was using paint):Could you fix it, please? coz i really love it. Thx alot Samkov.Regards, Amirz.

Samkov Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 bober and AMIRZ all you have to do is unlock your taskbar, and pull it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMIRZ Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 OK, fixed now thx. But it will be better if you could fix it in the future as usual (use default setting). anyway, Thx!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samkov Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Version 6.7.6 is out, very minor changes, let me know how you like it.thanks again Edited September 8, 2008 by Samkov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookadile Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hi, I like the theme but like others have said I would like it better with a normal size start button. That way I wouldn't have to have an oversized taskbar.Keep up the good work.Regards, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I personally like smaller sartbars too but, hey this one really needs the bigger bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samkov Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 I personally like smaller sartbars too but, hey this one really needs the bigger bar.yeah ive messed around with it, but making the taskbar smaller would really degrade the appearance of the start button so it will most likely stay the way it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samkov Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Version 7.0.1 is out Edited October 15, 2008 by Samkov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccl0 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 well i tried it out and find it quite unusable. there are two glaring problems that i could immediately see. i've made a screenshot to elaborate http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ughbz3.jpgout of the two, i think those white shadows around the icons are the worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccl0 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) yes, thats correct. i'm using 48px size icons. reason being i've got a large resolution monitor and using 32 makes everything too tiny. maybe you could make an optional one in the future with the larger sizes in mind? also about those white shadows.. i've never experienced that behavior before. as you can see from that screenshot, those folders are names of other visual styles i'm currently using... and only when i used your visual style did i experienced this occurrence. i cant say why, but when i use yours it basically changes the color of the background(to that green color in the screenshot) and also the shadow color to white. i forgot to mention earlier that i'm using xp sp2. would that have anything to do with the shadows?oh and it looks like theres a small bug with the minimize button area. basically the left side of the button is 'inactive' when you mouse over it. for example, normally when you mouse over the button there is a color change/ highlight. but if you mouse over on the left size, nothing happens. and its not just a graphical error, but clicking on that size does not minimize the window. http://img355.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aaasn8.jpgi've tried to give a close approximation of the area that i'm talking about (that half transparent pink area) Edited October 16, 2008 by ccl0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samkov Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 yeah ive been trying to fix the minimize button for awhile now (still working it out) anyways i dont think sp2 would have anything to do with the problems your having, but ill look further into the theme to see what exactly the problem issorry again for the inconvenience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccl0 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 well i might have figured it out. not sure why it did this, but the funky shadows went away. usually when i try a new visual style i just double click on the the visual style file and it loads up. basically the first time i tried yours i did exactly that and i ignored the theme file. well just now i double clicked on the theme file first and there was a brief pause but nothing happened. then i double clicked on the visual style file and loaded it up as normal. no white shadows and no green colored background.
