Lautus - ReactOS visual style

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
this looks awesome, but I can just say again that we should switch the ugly tango icons to faenza, which would fit better to the lautus theme.

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
Make them, and I do the rest ^^. But in all colors and sizes we have in Windows of course ^^
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
I already started with the shell32 ones. (9 layers, 3 ones for 16, 32 and 48px in 4, 8 and 24+8 bit).EmuandCo wrote:Make them, and I do the rest ^^. But in all colors and sizes we have in Windows of course ^^
Also I'm going to make the missing 214-217.bmp's new from scratch (as the ones I got from Deviantart contained Windows graphics ).
There are also many tango based bmps in user mode apps. So this will take some time.
I already have a plan.

Nice to hear that. Good that someone already takes that task. ^^

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
I changed about 75% of what is already inside shell32.
Also I did the nonsense work to change explorer_old's icons (and also fxxcked up the navigation icons of the explorer window. I know why they look so shitty but I won't fix them now)
It seems that explorer_old downscales the icons to 24px, what looks bad too, but I will not care much about this (hopefully soon) obsolete piece of software.

EDIT:
I also played around with the shell-experiments branch. There it looks awesome at all

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
With this combination of theme and icons ReactOS suddenly looks very modern, even without transparency or round corners.
EDIT: only saw the shell-experiments branch now, that looks even better!

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
I see nothing in the two screenshots to get excited about! I think that the explorer looks dull and the only nice looking icon is the desktop 'My Computer'. Sorry folks.
Please keep the Windows classic 9x/2000 look and feel.

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
nice appareance of reactos, but this icons only exists in the experimental branch or in the diary versions of reactos too?
Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
I use Faenza on my Linux machine and like it very much, so I may be biased a little... but then, this is subjective opinion anyway The terminal/commandline icon is very cool in Faenza and not yet in that screenshot.oldman wrote:I see nothing in the two screenshots to get excited about!

This is not in experimental branch and not in daily builds. This is only a private/personal experiment of GonzoMD, he used trunk and shell-experiments branches, but added his own work.manuel wrote:nice appareance of reactos, but this icons only exists in the experimental branch or in the diary versions of reactos too?

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
From my view, with the Lautus theme and the Faenza icons, it looks like a modern & professional OS. It makes it look like ROS as it's own OS and not affiliated with windows, yet still has the feel of Windows. With these visual improvements I can say that it will get a number of people to take an interest and can possibly help out. I can't help myself but to say it's a very exciting year for ROS .
Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
Looks a lot like the concept for CE the devs put a while ago.
Maybe they could use it as a basis to cut them a lot of work?

Re: Lautus - ReactOS visual style
We used exactly this theme for the concept. It is also included to trunk yet, but not activated by default.Nemerian wrote:Looks a lot like the concept for CE the devs put a while ago.
