It's not your run of the mill skin. Coloring the skin is not the same. For example, how can you have an orange taskbar with a black active window or different gradients of green? The theme was meant to be customized and assumes you have enough knowledge of windows to run batch files and reapply a sub. Don't call yourself stupid many others are having a difficult time with this as well. It really is more flexible to do it this way though.

I have not commented in more than a year, AND I am not one who is fond of 'pale' skins (as I call them)... BUT I like this one a *whole* lot. Ya got enough definition around your frames to separate them from anything going on in the back ground. On top of that... everything is clean and crisp. My only gripe (two cents) is that your scrolls are quite narrow on my system. Kudos to you and a great job!

i'll try to find the links to the wallpapers i hope the files are descriptive enough to trace back to the authors.

thanks for the comments about the 'pale' skin. i think you will like pico gray more, a slight varatiation of this to address MS Office issues. a WIP of pico gray is posted on DA. a dark theme is coming, pico vader.

Office 2007, 2003 and Visual Studio is a known issue. It's because the 3d color or button face color is white. I have a variation of this skin, named pico gray, which addresses this issue. Will be releasing it soon after a brief beta period.

make the minimize, close and maximize button customizable


The mmc buttons will be customizable in Pico Gray. Note the minimalistic buttons in the lower left.

Ah, the sweet smell of revenge!

Month after month I read comments which seem to assume that the inner workings of some program is knowledge with which all sentient beings are endowed. Note after cryptic note I stumble, trying to figure out just what some argot code is saying. Time after time I recoil in horror when posts which seem reasonable to me are swept aside as coming from the uninitiated.

I *KNOW* batch files! I have used batch files since the 1980s (yes, that was before Windows--back when "customize" meant blue text on black, instead of green, back when WYSIWYG (pronounced "whizzywhig") was for the users' dreams, back when the only graphics allowed were 8-bit.

In those days, we power users zipped out bats for everything from printer commands to fake menus, which used blank lines in the bat file to scroll down the screen, where what you saw was a dummy screen with several "type A for adobe illustrator" entries on screen (remember that each program needed its own printer as well as screen driver--so three programs, six driver files!). Then when you fired up the ole' 8086 machine (ah yes, the config.sys and autoexec.com initializing bat files) it would type what looked like a menu, but was only the last part of the login files. So you pressed "W" for Wordperfect and you would actually run a batch file called W.bat which would start the application and run the appropriate files to initialize the screen and printer.

Point of all of this rambling is: batch files are not difficult at all. They are a way of automating tasks so that your machine believes your typing skills have just improved 2953%. . . So when writing a batch file, you only have to figure out the DOS commands and type them in order--the .bat file stores these and runs each, in order, when you invoke it.

So in other words, if you could go line by laborious line, typing in each variable; you can make a bat file. Just save the puppy with a .bat extension and the machine will feed each line, one at a time, to your machine whenever you command. . .

(should we tell them about the secret % variables?)

Good work--thank you. I actually ran across something I understood!

LOL, thanks for bringing me back to the 'ol days when QuarterDeck and TSRs ruled. I don't miss the CRT burn-in days too much though

If you're not seeing the windows change then more than likely your computer's graphic card/driver doesn't support per pixel alpha blending.
