BZ's permission to update to WB5

Can we update BZ's WB themes to WB5 with out his permission?

If it is not needed I propose to start up a team of interested people so that we could begin updating old themes. I have an eye on milk and a couple others.

Sounds great. Now I just wish I can get some skills in that field (not that I have any in others)

#359701

good idea Julieta, I too am interested in Milk ;) and of course Somatic :D

#359704

You cannot do it without his permission.

You should email/PM him and see what he has to say, although i'm pretty sure he won't mind.

#359741

Yah, you'd need permission. He's a cool guy, though ;).

isn't there already a samui skin for WB5?

edit: nevermind, i was thinking of niqu's alpha blended version.

#359810

Samui will be updated as soon as I release QUAD :)

As for Milk, yes, we would need permission from Bz and Max Rudberg but that shouldn't be a problem since they are both very nice :P

i love that.

but would/do you...

a. have the aqua substyles as well as the streamline-ish skin?

b. consider asking for permission of a firefox skin

#360921

a. What is streamline? I've never heard of it, would be better if you could provide me with screenshots for both substyles (aqua and streamline)

b. I'm still waiting for Max's reply, I will manage to make a firefox skin if I'm to release this wb ;)

are you not going to use per-pixel titlebars?

#360932

i don't use, but if i release the theme, there will be per-pixel borders ;)

@duyvan: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=28480 (streamline)

yours looks better so far.

My opinion on WB5 and "updating" themes...

**per pixel skins are "noticably" slower-- especially noticed when moving fully alpha/transparent or perpixel corned skins, redraw seems slower than WB 4.x skins (ATI Radeon 9200 mobility). Therefore,

1) I don't think it's worth updating a skin to WB if the only thing modified is a smoother blended corner (I wouldn't and don't use then-- I prefer the 4.x version because of speed)

2) I do think it's worth updating a skin if a shadow is added.

My 2 cents, don't know if anybody agrees, but felt I'd share. thx
