[Request] Style Change

Post by Blankname »

Would be nice to see the option "OS Skin" for Windows 7 be changed to the window style archived below. As the one the designer currently uses is quite off color (ugly :lol: ). I also added a new Windows 8 style, both using the purebasic icon, if you wish to update them.

You can get the PSD and PNG here: http://www.speedyshare.com/UWqZd/New.zip
The included PNG has the top left and right corners trimmed for transparency, if that's all you need to drop it into the form designer.

Also note that when using the #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget option on the Windows 8 theme. It doesn't draw the "#PB_Window_MaximizeGadget", when "#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget" is select and "#PB_Window_MaximizeGadget" is not. This I personally would consider a bug (a minor one, but still one).

Okay, as option. I hate the Vista/7 Design without AERO :mrgreen:

Old bugs good, new bugs bad! Updates are evil: might fix old bugs and introduce no new ones.

I was aiming for both familiarity and good looks. I think default colors work best, as it looks like that as soon as you install Windows 7. Altho the current Windows 7 style window in the form designer looks sick. Image

It looks "sick" because I'm not "just" drawing a pre-made image, that would not work as this style relies on gradients.
I've improved a bit the windows' drawing on this style so it should look better hopefully.
