Gaia09 remixed

Based on the open community project: [link]

Original WB skin by:
- chiwou: [link]
- novoo: [link]

Thanks to Marius, Novoo, Chiwou and all the guys who worked hard on the initial resources.

I know there will be some people who will say "eh, this is no more Gaia" since I've redone almost everything. But eh, this is Gaia R3M1X3D ;)


Icons: work in progress
Explorer TextToolbar: [link]

To remove taskbar icons and add nice features to your desktop: [link] (I will update it when a decent readme will be write)


- install the fonts
- install the skin
- reboot (yes, it is better to reboot)


What's missing:
- vertical taskbar
- shellstyle


You must know that:
- there's no "PowerOff/Logoff" buttons in Startmenu
- this skin does not use per-pixel window frames; so, you'll need YZ'Shadow or WindowFX to add shadows to the windows
- this skin is borderless so you won't be able to resize a window from its left/right sides

But, by using this little tool, your desktop experience will be greatly improved: [link]


Enjoy


Update:
090806: add shadow to startmenu (screenshot not updated)
090807: fix windows classic titlebar color and taskbarheight
090808: fix progress bar sometime showing pink color

I Like everything but the start menu is bad :( Make it a bit gradient and black like the window borders :) otherwise the all other features are awesomely cool. I haven't tried the theme cause I use the shit Windows 8 :( it sucks.

This is my favorite theme instantly. I love the borderlessness of the windows and different shades of green on the windows bottom-border. Less is more!

Here are some pointers of which I hope you will be able to fix them soon:

- Whenever a program has a statusbar at the bottom of the window (like Firefox, uTorrent), the bottom gets all scrambled. In FF for instance, I cannot read status messages since parts of the statusbar have a black background. The green lines are only partly there. Is this a known issue?

- I am using the Classic startmenu, but currently it is not themed at all. Would it be possible to theme it somewhat along the lines of the screenshot for the XP start menu on this page?

Again, I love it. Keep the theme clean and clear as it is now, please :) I'm hoping to catch your comment soon.

What iconset do you use for your Windows icons (like Disque local, Corsair in the screenshot above)? Did you make them yourself of is there a IconPackager set? I've been searching for some hours now, but am unable to find them or something similar :sniff:

I don't know what can be wrong about theme's elements turning black. It never happened to me. Try to apply the theme once again. What WindowBlinds version do you use ?
All the icons on the screenshot are mine but it has not been released yet. I worked hard on many projects last weeks / months and I'm having "holidays" now.
I'll continue my work in one or two weeks

I'm using WindowBlinds 6.02 on XP SP3. I have included 2 screenshots of my Firefox (3.0.13) with and without statusbar. All my other programs that have some sort of a statusbar (IDE, FTP Surfer, etc.) have the same problem. It seems that the header of the window is being repeated in the statusbar. If the program has a menu underneath the header (File View Tools, etc.), this is being squeezed into the statusbar as well (screenshots if you want). I hope I have explained myself well and hope you can help me out here :)

I don't know what to say. I've tried firefox 3.5.2 which works fine (I usually use Opera). The skin was made for WindowBlinds 6.4 and you are the one who have this problem.
Try to update your WindowBlinds version or edit the skin with your SkinStudio, if you have it
