New XP border

Post by ugus »

In a near idiotic effort I finally managed what I wanted to do
since a long time: paint my custom control borders the way it's done
since Windows XP -- flat and blue (depending on your color theme).
You can see my results in 2 lists where I turned the new look on as
an example: the Configuration navigation list, and the first list on
Configuration | Previewed Formats.
Switched themes - Silver, Olive, standard Windows XP blue, it's looks good in all themes.

Good, tnx for the feedback!

I'll throw this style at everything: Tree, List, Catalog, and all the other little lists...

I really, really, really hope that this will be option'd, because I *do not* like flat.

I want my 3d!!!

For lists as in Config and stuff, (new flat design) it's good. I am curious as to how it's gonna look for Tree/List/Catalog, but unless it's really ugly (or would need more space) I don't think I mind...

If I want "flat", I'll re-install Windows 3.1! :)

Jeez, what does everyone have against 3d. I think it makes things more real.

Sounds like I won't be left with any 3d. :cry:

No, more unreal! Feel the screen: it is flat! "3D" is just a fake! :P :wink:

Don't worry, I planned to make it configurable anyway. You'll have full control.
