Is it Mac or Windows on your first post screenshot.

If that screenshot is windows than how you managed to make mail, rss and printer with those counters on the right corner. There is only one docklet which is a bit close to it - mail docklet but it is really ugly. those are very accurate. I have great doubts about they are windows.

It is Mac. Look at the calendar icon its leopard calendar. I asked you not about the program - RK Launcher is Mac Emulation for Windows , which is a well-known fact. I was asking about a screenshot.

The screenshot is Windows XP Professional SP2 the docklets in question mail = systats modified gmail config, printer is modified printjobs config, and the calender is the iCal Docklet v0.2.2 for Y'z Dock v0.8.0+ (BETA) by Haitham Al-Beik with images modified by me. As for the RSS feed it is a systats docklet that is reading an xml file from my harddrive outputted from an rss feed Yahoo Widget I find that with systats you can display information received from any Yahoo Widget once you mod the code a little I also have a yahoo mail docklet (systats) that gets it,s information from the Yahoo Mail Widget.

You can always tell by the refflection in the dock, the refflection in the real leopard dock is generally larger, and hits the bottom of the dock rather than people making refflective icons which causes the icons to shrink in size.

Also the running indicators are... distorted?

Ya the limitations of RK with the icons and indicators I tried everything I could think of to get it to look more realistic. If anyone has any ideas I'm open.

#485658

But aren't those indicators hw they're supposed to in the Venom theme?

#485659

Not 100% I had to mod them a little to fit the size of image that rk allows. But visually I got them as near as my "old " eyes can see.

#485663

^ The funniest thing is I have the indicators fine here in RocketDock, and... the skin I'm using is a port of your skin :)

Ok, I opened your skin and read theme.conf but can't find something to help with :(

#485677

I very like it ,thanks!!

#486136

lovely,

great work!

(for anyone as dumb as me then download the file, unzip and copy the folder to C:Program FilesRK Launcherthemes - it took me a little while to work it out, as i'm stoopid)

#486318

although, further still,

I can't seem to alter the size of the dock so that the reflections are visible,

they are off the bottom of the screen,

maybe i'll fix it,

but if anyone can help.... appreciated :-)

#486320

Great theme ! Thanks for porting !

hey Ghost, nice work...

Another thing you can do to 'get it to look more realistic' is by making your reflective icons stand in single file ala mac. the base of the icons should form a straight line. in your ss, some are forward (lower) and others are a bit behind (higher).

you can do this by controlling the image/icon sizes prior to doing reflections. Assuming you have a uniform canvas size for all icons, let's say 256x256, resize your actual image to a HEIGHT of 200 pixels (some images are not square) from the top edge of the canvas. IGNORE the free/blank space around the image. When blending the layer mask, start at pixel 150 (from the top of the canvas) then drag pointer down to let't say 252. Do this for all your icons and see the results.

btw, am using GIMP, you can translate the above procedure in PS...hope this helps

You know you must reflect each icon by hand, do you?

Search for iReflector in this forums.
