very nice skin, nudel, but........which part of it that have a vista look ? :question:

4

LOL, it seems the lister background :laughing: :unamused:

Sorry nudel, I can't help it.

What else were you expecting to be themed?

6

well,maybe a bigger background image ? and does vista have a green and violet color in it's usual explorer ? usual vista have a "darker" theme, don't cha think ?

Could you explain how to duplicate some of the things you did in that theme?

  • The breadcrumbs field shows an icon instead of text for "Computer" and the spacing between the arrows and the path segments is much smaller than on my theme. Is that Vista-specific (using XP here) or can it be configured somewhere?

  • The graph in the status bar has a flat border. I get a raised 3D border even though relative_fields_3d is set to false. Graphs in lister columns are flat but not the one I added to the status bar.

  • I get a much wider graph when I just use {bg}. I tried {width50}{bg} but {width} seems to affect the whole status bar section and not just the following code.

I was thinking of making them smaller myself (but offering them in two sizes), but bigger isn't an option anyway as the source Vista icon graphics only go up to 256x256.

Vista's Explorer doesn't have a dual-pane, source/destination concept at all so it doesn't have colours for source and destination.

Depends which app you look at. Opus is using the standard Vista toolbar theme colour/texture (the light blue with shine at the top), but it seems Microsoft themselves have started using some other thing as well in some apps (the dark blue toolbars below the light blue menus).

Extracting the colours or background graphics from Explorer or WinMail or whatever isn't a lot of work (PrntScrn, paste into an image editor, crop, done). Why not make a theme yourself that makes things how you want them, then share it with everyone else?

It can be configured. There are some examples here. The Opus 9 release notes (but not currently the manual) have more information on the possible arguments.

    My status bar codes are posted here and the arguments for bar graphs are explained in the manual, in the Status Bar Bar Graphs appendix.
