O.k. This is still varry chunky and rough but you can get the main idea.

Well I don't know how far you are with this projects. Keep it up. A red milk will be a nice edition to all the milk. But you can try to put alittle more imphasis on the Milk part. And try to keep the red part to a minimun. CAuse this way. It won't be so attractive.

Look a little screeny of the scrollbar I made to see if you get the idea. If you keep it like that It might be very nice!..

It's not now a Red MILK but just red..

thanks

It's too bright. Try to make it a little darker.

Calm Down ifido , he don't like it , i'm nearly sure he diden't wanted to bless you , like i like pink milk a bit , this red milk is too ... red , maybe it's beacause of your jpg quality or , try just colorise the titlebar , not the toolbar or make it darker.

1. You have a bad screenshot (too much compression). I think you should make anoter one.

2. Some people had a really good suggestion for you, try to use them (I'm referring to little tiger).

#185657

Sorry dude I didnt wanted to hurt you, and I wasnt contructive at all.

So i think that it is too much red, i mean as Tiger says. Don't forget the "milk spirit".

Keep working, you are on the good way =)

#185660

O.k. sorry I got pissed man. No hard feelings.

The jpg is varry bad quality so It looks kind of funky in the pic

but in reality it's much better. :) I'll make stuff like Buttons,

Title bars, Scroll bars (Thanks LittleTiger :)), And Tabs Red,

And leave the rest milkish. Any good wallpapers that I could

use in it ?

Thanks :)

#185689

this is kinda, not milk, and its to based on red, it should have red features, not like be all read ;)

#185690

ifido... it's a start but it is really bright... surely your not going to create something that'll burn everybody's eyes until they start crying. LOL. if anything I'd probably say go with a glossy crimson kind of color... sorta like blood red but not so bright... more of a darker tone.

I think it'd look great. of course keep it milk, the suggestions that some of the other's mentioned would be a good idea. tabs, scrollbars, etc. give the little things the tweak.. not so much everything.

either way it's a work in progress... keep it up i'm sure it'll look great when it's done.

;)

looks kinda intresting. Worth continuing i think.

Milk can be red... Has anyone ever heard of strawberry milk or is that too, only a New England thing.

Yea, but strawberry milk is more pink than red.

#185809

That is true. But the shade of pink is based on a heavey red rather than the typical bubblegum pink. Lou, have you veer heard of coffee milk?

Strawberry cow mix... sorta like brown cow syrup except it was strawberry... LOL. I'm up in canada and that stuff was around when i was a kid XX amount of years ago... :lol:

[my two cents]

I've actually been thinking about making something similar for quite awhile, just basing it on QuicksilverR or Smooth Stripes rather than Milk. (I've never particularly liked Milk—too much white for me.) For quite a while I've had a hankering for some colored themes with shapes/sizes of components similar to existing themes, but with different colors. This white/grey stuff bores me after awhile, to tell the truth, even if it is more "authentic"—plus it blinds me at night if I turn on my computer in my darkened room. A shiny or burnished dark red/maroon theme would definitely be to my liking. Keep up the good work, ifido—though please consider darkening the red a whole lot.

[/my two cents]

General note: I'd also be happy if more theme developers would pay attention to start button placement on the vertical taskbar...[[hint hint]] So many of the major theme developers don't take the time to work out that little detail, meaning I've gotta fire up my copy of StyleBuilder when I want to actually use a lot of themes with my taskbar on the left side.

#185892

wow that just looks bad in my opinion...

and not to start a war but in my opinion, people that can't take a decent screenshot should probably not be doing graphics such as themes, just my .02

#185893

it's cool that you started on this :rock:

but like 'Little Tiger' and 'carbonfiber' mentioned i also want more milk.

knowing you are new to theming you should start with modding not with theming from scratch...just my opinion.

@Laurel :Yeah I second that. I already did

the vertical taskbars so it should be no problem. :)

New to themeing ??? :blink:

@BubaByte : It's not decent because it's JPG. Ive told you all this

ten times. :rant: Besides, can't you tell ???

God damn it I'm sorry I even told you guys about this.

#185942

Also, make the start button white instead of blue ;)

#185944

i don't want to be misunderstood but in the thread where i requested a Red Milk theme you said:

'Oh, and I need to find a :naughty: for stylebuilder

before I can get to work :D '

Sorry if i got you wrong...

#185949

wow thats Bright :( i like the idea but that makes my eyes bleed

Yea, a little less red please. I've acually have wanted a red milk theme for a while, but when I make themes, they look like crap. But something like guiPOD would be cool, a milk theme with accents of red. ...and also, I've posted this once before, and i'll do it again.
