Awesome concept...but from what I can tell, it will rank as 0 on the usability scale because there's no actual titlebar on the windowframe. :O Hope that gets addressed and that there will be an XP version. ;)

Title bars are useful. I do love it though...Might I suggest doing something about that with mickeko's former WIP (with permission, of course)? As for coloring, it's very good, but the blue is rather bright...you could mute it a little...and/ot add a little purple to the task bar...

there will be no titlebars heh :)

I guessed the reaction would be that,and if you try you will notice that you dont need the titlebartext all that much ;) ive been using it like this for 4-5 weeks and only time actually missed the titlebar was when i was looking thru photos/pics and looked up to see what name the pic i was looking at had heh.... you will just have to try before you say "NAY" or "NI" or "Go Ni... Whom... Ping" :P

 

Purple might have been nice Dr...but i dont like the color that much.. and adding a color in this late stage will be to much work :D its light light grey and blue+lighter and yellow+lighter goes thru the whole blind.

I could live w/o title bars too...I generally label pics and such because of the ravages of senility...LOL.

And.. the titlebar "clickable" area for say maximizing the window is still there.. you just can see it.. and no text ofc ;)

wanted to try something new... who knows you might like having no titlebars gives you more screen realestate :P

Anyway im going to want some testers later on if anyone is up for it... and i think its going to be vista blind mainly.. in the sense there might not be any shellstyle for xp...but im going to test it for xp for any obvious flaws ofc, So feel free to send a PM or sumthing in this thread if you want a slice of alpha/beta GhostShell :D

and/ot add a little purple to the task bar...

Please no purple:puke:   Who needs a Title Bar when it tells you in the Task Bar. Something different and I like it.

I've never tested anyone's blind. I have Vista Prem, Vista Ultimate and an XP machines. My hand is up for testing.:thumbsup:

voidcore, this looks awesome... not as good as Anonymity though (judging from the screenshot only), but still awesome ;)

I'm always open for testing your creations!! snowman-AT-skinventory.dk =D (Swap -AT- with @)

Wow that BEOS skin is a blast from the past. In fact I think I had a flashback for a micro-second.

 And that's why we love you Kitty...

Really looks good Voidcore. I would definitely use it. Please make it vertical compatible...

Looking forward to release

"Sick and twisted skinner"....somebody call for Stardoc Medical Orthopedics? "Skinner Down"? :waaaa:

Please make it vertical compatible...

It has vertical taskbar's but the startbutton is quite large so you will only see half of it when using vert. Maybe ill make a ss for vert with a smaller startbutton.
