Also, gonna try this out looks great.

The light aero shot looks really good. Other ones look good as well, but I prefer the light one. Any ETA on this yet?

snipes2 In reply to bgjerlowdesigns [2012-01-25 11:33:08 +0000 UTC]

Not really, i'll probably add the download option in a few hours...
There's still a lot to be done, I'm not really happy with some finished elements,
the "Address, Breadcrumb & Search" section always gives me a headache!
I hope it will be finished in two weeks...

I REALLY like your original caption buttons, the rectangle ones with the diagonal lines. Please don't change them!
In fact, why don't you use these buttons for all variations of the theme? Using "aero" style buttons for the clear theme isn't very nice at all

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

snipes2 In reply to garbanzox [2012-01-20 16:48:38 +0000 UTC]

The full transparent style needs new bottons, too, thats right!
I'm glad you like them, not sure i i'll keep them in the main theme, probably keep them for aother version though...

Geo17 [2012-01-19 17:37:33 +0000 UTC]

The caption buttons are nice, but you can make them a bit glossier and the close button could be a dark red.

snipes2 In reply to Geo17 [2012-01-19 21:41:29 +0000 UTC]

I'll add a color and probably over think the whole button concept...
I'd liek to have glossy bottons, too

vicanfon [2012-01-19 17:14:22 +0000 UTC]

I like that aero dark version, and the caption buttons are nice. The point for me is what colour will the cast when mouse is over.

This theme is great.

snipes2 In reply to vicanfon [2012-01-19 21:40:22 +0000 UTC]

Thank!
Atm no color, but i'll add it as soon as i'm sure about the caption buttons

Geo17 [2012-01-18 11:45:48 +0000 UTC]

You should make the Aero version black like the Basic version, but a bit transparent, and you should make the caption buttons a bit Longhorn-like

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

snipes2 In reply to Geo17 [2012-01-18 15:14:05 +0000 UTC]

I haven't really thought about the caption buttons,
but I'll definitely make a dark transparent aero version!
Thanks a lot for your opinion!

snipes2 In reply to dafmat71 [2012-01-18 10:56:00 +0000 UTC]

the aero support is still very experimental, i'll probably change it to black, or make it solid, like the basic parts... still don't know

dafmat71 In reply to snipes2 [2012-01-18 11:07:57 +0000 UTC]

yes in solid and black is a good idea!! Like the basic!

snipes2 In reply to dpcdpc11 [2012-01-18 10:49:12 +0000 UTC]

That really is a masterpiece!
Originally I wanted to create a pure basic style,
It just evolves further every day, so I', adding aero support, too.
Still very experimental though... I'll probably change th frames to black, like the basic parts.
What do you think about that?
