Yes, we're still working on it *g*.

so here's the actual status:

The theme seems to be finished, our brains're empty now and we don't know which features we could add!

Here're some features we've implanted:
--------------------------------------

- Normal and Stylish versions of the bar (thanks to cpM that we were allowed to use his images from his VodaMartini)
- 9 different Styles (taken from VodaMartini)
- 3 bar colors
- 8 Flavour and Display colors in Stylish Bar Version
- 11 Flavour Colors in Normal Version
- 4 fixed positions (left, right, top, bottom)
- Randomize all, or only some of the Colors (bar, flavour, display)
- Free Positioning Elements (in 2 ways, the known like drag&drop, and the "I call it now" click&place version)
- Adding/Removing non used elements
- 2 Snapshot versions (snapshot loads without lsbox and uses less ram, saves the positions of each element and loads with only needes modules. Also with a normal sizes and Double Sized Systray)
- analog Clock
- change the displayed text in the time label (above systray)
- change Amp Displayed Text (artist, artist - title, .....)
- change LSX Displayed Text
- In normal version, 5 popup menus includet, change the style without recycle (on air)
- Editing popup Font Face and size (on air)
- Edit popup Icons,Text and Arrows Position (or On/Off)
- Edit Tasks Icons, Text Position
- Special created Config tool (not finished yet)
- wake up your PC with a *hopefully* funny quote
- SystrayIconHueing (color like Displaycolor)
- TaskbarIconHueing (color like Displaycolor)
- Desktop Icons (On/Off)
- fading out while recycle (only in none-snapshot mode)


ok, I think I got all now (or I can't remember what else *lol*)

Here're 2 screenshots of 2 possible variants:

We hope you like what you see :)

So long,

hmmm... maybe it's just my own quirkiness, but I don't think the popup (at least the one in the top screenshot) really fits with the rest of the theme. or maybe it's just the icons that are throwing me. but the rest of it looks beautiful. good job guys. :)

is the popup really that big

there're 5 different popups in the normal version.
it is also possible to change the font size (via themepopup or later in the config tool) so the size will also shrink

i had the idea to include a kind of tutorial into my theme, if it ever gets released :D

if you have too much time, you could create one: i thought of texts that are displayed the first time the theme is loaded, saying "you can do this by doing that" and at the same time displaying an arrow or something pointing at what the text talks about. for example: "you can do this by right-clicking here", and there's an arrow (a skinbow bitmap, a shortcut, whatever) that points onto the element the text is about.

it's only about scripting some things, nothing big, but i think this could be very helpful to litestep newbies (i f****** hate that word, but ... you know) getting started.

for the texts, i think inform-sega's obor...whatever.dll (sorry, too lazy to look the right name up ... you know, this brand-new module showing html-sites) should be the one to use, combined with shortcuts or so...

if you don't understand what i mean, wait until tomorrow, i'm quite drunk now :D
