okay, here is my first visual-style for you. i always wanted to create one that is completely how i want a style to be, and this is the result... so, if you don't like it - i do (hope this doesn't sound too arrogant ;)). of course i'm open for any bugfixes / suggestions.

i called it "Klarheit", that's german and means clarity / clearance because that's what the style is - i didn't use some effectful gradients or spectacular light-effects, the style should be functional and still cute.
the color-theme in the style is called "ozeanblau" (oceanblue). maybe i'll release "Klarheit" in some other colors soon.

some inspirations came from the great bluecurve-theme and also from the opensource "tango-project" ([link]). i got the start-button, some caption-buttons and the icons in the xp-startmenu from there. that's why i recommend to use the visual-style in combination with the tango-icons (e.g. with "super turbo tango patcher") - looks great.
i put a wallpaper into the archive that fits quite well to "Klarheit" - it's from the human-theme, edited by me.

hope you like the style. please be kind and add this to your :+fav: favourites if you like it.
p.s.: enspia ported this style to windowblinds-xp: [link]

*update 1.01 (2006-08-28):
  • now including shellstyle, compact-/full-startmenu-version and the font used in the style
  • renamed compact-startmenu-version to "ozeancom" and the full version to "ozeanfull"

*update 1.02 (2006-08-29):
  • radiobuttons / checkboxes improved
  • progressbar much improved
  • changed shellstyle again (final version i think)
  • taskbar-buttons are also boxed when unfocused (very light only)
  • taskbar is now a bit thinner
  • updated the screenshot

*update 1.03 (2006-08-30):
  • fixed shellstyle-colors (e.g. in control panel)
  • reduced size of xp-startmenu (removed unneeded space)
  • now three different font-styles: lucida grande (choose font-size "Normal"), tahoma (choose font-size "Large Fonts"), calibri (choose font-size "Extra Large Fonts")
  • after lucida grande was included, now calibri is also in the zip
  • minimal optimizations on the titlebar-gradient
  • visual-style is now 7zip-packed again. you can open it with winrar or 7zip ([link])

*update 1.04 (2006-08-31):
  • changed start-button (+ updated screenshot)
  • made flashing / blinking button more "eye-catching"

*update 1.05 (2006-09-01):
  • shellstyle: text-color in the file-details-box fixed
  • applied shellstyle-colors also to the useraccounts-panel

*update 1.06 (2006-09-03):
  • flashing button is now a darkblue
  • increased font-size of calibri ("Extra Large Fonts") a bit, as calibri is quite small in default mode

*update 1.07 (2006-09-06):
  • fixed a main-problem: java-apps now work correctly when using this style
  • renamed the substyles and fontstyles to be more understandable

*update 1.08 (2006-09-08):
  • added the second color-theme: "ergonomisch" (= "ergonomic"). it has got all the features of the original one (including modified shellstyle and wallpaper), is a bit darker and has less saturation. more coming soon...

*update 1.09 (2006-09-12):
  • text-color of flashing-button is now white
  • compact startmenu now "ultra"-compact
  • small bugfixes in ergonomisch-substyle (some borderline-colors)

Wow, sehr schöner Visual Style, gute Arbeit! Mir gefällt er auch so, wie er ist *g*.
Falls du noch weitere Farbvariationen erstellst, dann würde ich mich über eine schwarze und eine rote sehr freuen.

Welchen Player nutzt du? Sieht interessant aus und ich würde ihn gern mal ausprobieren.
thanks... the player is called foobar2000 ([link]) with the columns-ui-plugin.
no nearly there it's painful. I love this style two things though, one, there is a large black space around the user account picture in the start menu,.
two, in the all programs list there is a big white section around the separator.
If you could just fix those two minor glitches then I would be in heaven.
Die Schaltflächen für Beenden, Maximieren und Minimieren gefallen mir nicht wirklich, das Rot sieht komisch aus. Ansonsten recht nettes VS

Yeah!
Maybe a shellstyle will be good?
This is a great looking VS - visually pleasant. Please add ShellStyle to this. You may want to cut down on the size of the program menu (looks more like Windows which is big). On taksbar, you may want to add the effect you get while "mouse-over" on inactive taskbar item. Overall, this could become one of the best VS. Please update when you have time!!! Thanks for sharing.
nicht schlecht für den ersten VS.

Well done, dude!

Take Care... und Grüße aus der Pfalz!

k thx all. there will be more improvements and updates soon. for now, i added a first version of a shellstyle to the vs (icons there are also tango).

@vipuldk: well, there is a mouseover-effect on a non-focused window on the taskbar (if you mean that). it has a quite high level of transparent though...
