Made them from looking at web sites, on how to make simple glass buttons. Hence the name, and they are colored bars that fit the gradient bar theme. I always see tropic sea horizons in glass buttons.
The rest will take longer,Īs they don't reference much from the first variation skin folder. I have finished qty 20 variations so far. I started to have both selectable,īut gave up as it got really complicated for my brain. I wasn't sure if it is white 255, or off white 240. If I ever finish this monster, could be 3.5MB. The way I'm going, having problems with the bleaching, and script logic, I will always be a nubee! For those ones, I will leave as is, or just make a white submenu. Ha ha, the file keeps getting bigger.Īs for the other 8, they are more complicated, with separate set of up to four bitmap masks for each variation required. This will require 3 more larger bitmap green masks.
I will put option for white main/submenus only for the original 23 variations. Tropic night would look lit up with 10 arc lamps The "rainy day" wouldn't be the same if sun glasses are required. They will, look sharper, hygienic, and newer looking.īut I don't know. It will use one tiny bitmap green mask to get the bleached white look, for the 23 original variations.Īs for the main menu, If I make them all white, it takes away from the original battleship grey look It will still retain the 3d colored border and separators. Need a white shirt for the business part of it. Brown shoes, brown pants, brown shirt, dulls the senses. Top bar band is bigger for 144 DPI 150% size. Rev B still in other original post location.Įdit: Added request for plain menu Classic 2 column.Įdit: Upgraded 7 style version to revision B.
Moved style 7 and Classic style 1/2 rev C skins, zipped to this post, for fast download speed. If you want the op system caption blank, or replaced with personal words, alter in the "menu look" tab of CSM. I threw in some experimental color bar menus at the end of the list. Does not change taskbar/windows border color. Usually C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\SkinsĮxit CSM, restart CSM, and go to "Start Menu Style" tab. Will only partially work.Īfter downloading file, paste in skins folder. Not compatible with most older versions of CSM. Tried with CSM 4.1.0 on Win7/8.1 Works best in Win8.1 The 3d border is built into bitmap. Whew, glad I can now put this menu to bed. Yes, the high contrast types are somewhat redundant, only added 50KB though.
It is basically 3 variations,(caption single, single, two column), It has the older single classic menu, with the gradient caption bar on left,Īs well as a hybrid single menu, with bar on top. It has the qty 31 color variations, with the color title bar/ band at top of menu. Not exact match, but close enough for the retro feel. This menu skin is similar to the classic menus in XP.
