Plastic Fantastic Update

Now in 4 colors

External Link
December 3, 2008 4:23:37 PM from GUIChamps ForumsGUIChamps Forums

I wanted to make users and judges alike, aware, that I have updated the WB with 3 extra colors using Neil Banfield's brilliant Advanced HSL Recoloring.

Colors now include Red, Blue, Green and Purple. These are all available as substyles now from the substyles dropdown menu.

** DIfferent PC \ WBcfg setups may lead to different results, I can only vouch fully for the non-recolored Red version **

I would like to add that not everything gets recolored by WB recoloring and that the Red substyle is still the main theme color .

 

 

 

Thanks to everyone and enjoy !

thanls for doing that, John. The recoloring bit has never worked for me on vista 64.

 

and with your update, wb wants to recolor everything including the taskbar. I uncheck the recolor skin box and wb still recolors. i love WB but there are times i get very frustrated. maybe it's just a vista 64 thang.

i wish i could use the new colors without wb wanting to recolor the taskbar, too. maybe i need to format and install everything again.

Your welcome iwas, 

No it's not x64, I know this as I use x64 also, it's just a little of a complicated process so I thought I'd go ahead and do it so it looked right, save folks a little frustration.

Ohhh....with the purple coloration, I have absolutely no motivation to work on my Mardi Gras Windowblind now.  You have all the correct colors right there, and your skinning skills squash mine like a bug!

Oh that would be awesome messiah. BTW I've seen in somebody's screenshot a tile dock round, like you did but with 3 colors in it. I downloaded yours but I only got them with 2 colors. Would it be to much to ask a version of them with 3 colors?

I'll try it again and see if I can do it and make it look good.  When I tried it at first, it didn't look right but I think I can do it.  That was in bilbo's SS btw.  He made that for his use.  Like I said though, since I need to do the purples, I'll give a triple color a re-try.

Truly is a very great and fantastic example of talent, skill and skinning prowess.  Congratulation

With all the other fine skins, widgets and such that have been done to round out the theme, by chance is anyone working on a suite that can be access through Theme Manager?

Apparently the new Theme Manager 3.0 has made putting suites based on a theme together more easily.  So far  only Zubaz has put a suite together using it.

Start a post and ask a question.  I'll try to answer.

I've found a few bugs but nothing that is too critical. (Like DX widgets download but don't apply, have to do that manually.  And there was a bug with IconPacks.)
