found a preview:

dont think it is released yet though

#164088

whoops! double post!!

#164089

you posted 2ice brotha. Anyways, I second Brainbug's request, Paper and Plastic is a very nice theme. :rock:

#164091

Well I've done OB theme so all I need to do is to ask permission to release it.

I really hope that I'm not too lazy to ask for it

#164092

sounds cool. one question: would it be possible to post it near 100%? i´m askin because of the port like kol´s tiskin. don´t get me wrong. kol did a great job and i love his work, but the windows port looses much of the real effect by cutting the top of every window (if u know what i mean).

dono if it was kol`s wish or if it´s just the way it works with windows themes.

No I don't. Can you explain?

I am considering moving into the realm of porting... I have nearly finished my nexplorer theme for paper and plastic. I would like to try and get permission to port this to windowblinds. It would not be a msstyle because I use windowblinds. If no one else takes this on I will do it.

i´m talkin about this effect (left is mac, right is win xp). ah, and i´m not talking about the min, max close buttons, screenshot of win xp was with not active window.

he's talking about the smoothness, i notice it too, in alot of visual styles.

#164147

i think all you have to do is set the bg the same color as the bottom gradient.

plus why si it called paper and pastic? looks more like smooth metal

#164150

yah it looks much better on the mac version, but the windows VS is still very good (i used it for 3 months straight). Anyways, back on topic, I'd like to see Paper & Plastic ported as a VS too.

#164151

sure kol´s port is great. do not missunderstand me here. i´m just curious about it. even when i see kol´s tiAMP skin. seems it is possible, i have not enough knowledge about windows themes.

the reason why i mention here the port of tiskin is, i want to make sure, or better, want to know if it would be possible to port it in a way without the mentioned effect.

again, do not get me wrong, i´m not *****ing or anything in that way. just interested in the possibilities of windows-skinning.

It only looks like that on 'Brushed' windows-- that is a screenshot of a Finder window

If I'm looking right, making the caption/title bar area fade into the menu area of a window is not hard at all. Just make the titlebar gradient end in the same color as the menu BGcolor. Any visual seperation is a design choice by the theme maker.

As an example: link

I did a tiSkin version for windowblinds and got denied permission again seems to be an on going thing with me..

Anyways I think mine is more to the original than kols windowblinds theme.. But I did use alot of kols graphics as my base..

I would do paper and plastic for windowblinds but I need permission first im not doing another thing until I recieve permission.. Dont want to make #4

The post on Sketching's is a VS he made on his own.

I would also do a wb port of it if i find some good screenshots, so far i have not found so many of them. Then i can put the button on the left side instead of right so it can a more real look. I have gotten permission from them earlier to port skins so i might get it again, and even if i do not, i might do it anyway just for my own
