Hello ppl,

I used it, it works really nice. 3kb cab file... so simple..
.. here are some pics as looks on my system.
I used a dull gray backgound for pictures..
You can drag and drop the elements in the position you want in order to set up order.. that works pretty fine.
Now, question is, any possibility to have bigger characters on the screen ? as this looks too small.. or at least to have them in one line only ? not white / yellow thing as on the screen ? only white and bigger - similar to windows default theme ? maybe more spaced.. but definitely larger characters.



Brgds,
Radu

Yes it's possible, the white or the yellow?

hi,

if you ask me, i would like to have white letters only.
similar size, a little smaller than theme.
ideea would be to look consistent with theme default.
maybe...the "loupe" effect is it possible?

regards,
radu

What's the "loupe" effect?
This a simple css not a app. The fonts it's the original windows.
Just the white font it's possible. In same place but little smaller?

Hello again Mike,

Here are two pictures of actual look and what i think would look better.
Is about taking out the yellow writing all together, it does not make sense to have same thing written twice, it looks cluttered.
Unless, let's say, if there is a folder which has more than one icon inside it, like for example the Tools or Settings folder. There will have to have the big white letter for title and in yellow letters, below, the content of the folder.
Size of the yellow letter seems fine for me.
As for the white letter, maybe one single size increase, like from Tahoma12 to Tahoma 13 ( and/or bolded ) so that would look closer to original windows default theme. But, not too much as it looks now, "Microsoft My Phone" is very long and would go out of the screen on the right side..
My ideea would be to have same aspect once navigating in between main theme and control panel.
"Loupe" effect, is the highlight ( or magnify lens ) that is placed on the active icon, like the effect for the clock tab, in the main theme. Or can you replace this with a underline for the title... i do not know if this is even possible..

regards,
Radu

PS: i would be really happy if i knew to tinker code here, not to bother you..

LE : started reading the post in original thread, maybe the yellow text can remain but made smaller to resemble tooltip description... small text that you really need to look closer to understand the meaning of the title if not displayed correctly...Somehow to differentiate title from description and create impression of separate "paragraphs", if that is right term.

WOW lol
Sorry your post is complexe for me, my english is not better for understand you lol
For the code, no prob use the 2 files in attachement. For edit use notepad++ and replace the original in windows folder and softreset.
Tahoma 13 is the font of titanium? it's not a probleme for replace the font in start menu.

Hello Mike,

Maybe i'm too dumb for this...
Can't edit file in pda... is opened already ??
Nor can copy/paste - have no rights...
Can you manage to make the package once again, but without yellow characters, at all ?

Regards,
Radu
