Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

they look like icons from the end of the 90's. And there seems to be only 190 icons How did you determine it? I think it was inspired by Vista. Slick is Classic style. You do not like Classic? Please tell me, what is so "innovative" in your Faenza? Faenza: looks good with the theme and 10...

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

From my POV all the Tango/GNOME2/Faenza sets have their advantages and are proven by time and number of users. Didn't know Noveau XT 2/Slick, but they seem nice enough too. Any of those can be used and all of them will have their proponents and opponents. However, it may be hard to reach a specific...

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

Alternatively one can use the Gnome2 icon theme which is similar to Windows and much better than Tango, it also will fit well with the ReactOS colors, like Slick. It is much simplier ans ascetic than Slick though:

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

Based on your "notoriety" argument, no theme even remotely similar to KDE cannot be used because KDE uses it etc. KDE, at least the versions 1-3 was made having in mind Windows. They strived to follow or be somewhat "parrallel" to Windows in design. This not the case for the aut...

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

What is there on these that can't be recognized?
Neither. I would never realize that the bin is the bin. I also never seen square folders in real life. And also the "computer" icon features only monitor and it is unclear what is the white thing around it.

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

My opinion was that Lautus looks awfull with the Tango icons, and every other free icons I found looked linuxish, old, ugly, or were too incomplete (well, Faenza is incomplete too but it is a good compromise). Faenza (and it's Fork Faience) were the only ones which looked somehow fresh and modern. ...

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

In general, for the masses (granted, we're not there yet), I would suggest to stay as close as possible to winXP-look-a-like icons. The whole point is giving the lay public an as recognisable and thus comforting experience as possible, after all. I do not know any open-source icon set close in appe...

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

nouve xt 2 are definitely not that bad and look like Vista's (especially the foleder icon) but still I vote for Slick. I think Slik is more like the Win Vista - Win7 icon set, yet is has the Reactos style. I think it is optimal.

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

Could you now clarify when you meant Tango and when Faenza? I meant Faenza. I think Tango is also very ugly but not so much as Faenza is. I vote for Slick because it is grayish-blue, the same colors as Reactos splash screen and logo. My second vote is for the Gnome 2 default icon set (it is more li...

Re: ReactOS Community Edition Screenshots

I hate Faenza and it does not fit with Reactos grayish design.

Better take Slick icons from KDE:

Re: Reactos/Windows open source repository and app store

What is to be included in this Application Manager repository? Are there any plans on cooperation with proprietary vendors?

Will it be supported on Windows?

Reactos/Windows open source repository and app store

Are there plans to create a united repository of open source (and freeware) software for Reactos and Windows? It would be great if one could install OpenOffice, Firefox, Amarok, Calligra, AbiWord without searching the web. The repository could feature ratings, comments, videos of desired application...

Re: ReactOS explorer_new

а) на windows XP при работе с родной (не классической) темой панель задач смотрится "нагромождённой" (т.е. как будто бы одна панель задач наложена на другую); В Windows XP SP3 также, если панель задач не закреплена. http://storage7.static.itmages.ru/i/14/0509/h_1399633647_9609495_b70174a5...
