SquareBlue skin (by ZoNi) - SECOND skin for xplorer2 ;-)

Try this skin and say what you think! (Just have in mind it is version 0.7, therefore not finished!)

Enjoy!

LIKE IT! Switched immediatly to this new one.

This is the third (I consider the 0.5 and 0.5c as different sets). Now we really need a skin switcher in xplorer2.

On the other hand, with such a nice set, why switch? :)

After using this set for an hour, I have a question:

Can it come in green (dark)? That would be a better fit to my Windows colors. See the picture, my title bar is green.
I'm not so good with graphic editors, otherwise I would try it myself.

As you can see the BW bitmap does not look good with my setup, but I can live with that.

Wim, Axialis make a variation in green, but it is not dark green. They also have a black variation, which I think may be even better for the no-nonsense philosophy of x2. :-)

See here: http://www.axialis.com/free/icons/index.html

ZoNi, thanks for this set!

The icons look very good in x2, apart from the BW ones on the toolbar -- on the menus they all look fine.

i'll have to create a page in the website to hold all these skins for the users at large, if the artist agrees ;)

@Demetris: Love those icons from Axialis. The green is dark enough for me and the black is even better. Maybe it is now time to put time into my skills for graphic editing. Or I wait until someone else downloads them and put them together in the correct format.....

:P  Gamesmaster, where can i find a place where I can level up my skills in....
Oh, wrong environment. I must study myself.  8)

For those who want to try to make their own skins from already made icons, here is one nice tool: Toolbar Paint
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia ... aint.shtml
http://www.assembler.ca/toolbar_paint.htm (offline today?)

All you have to do is just to place icones where you want. Unfortunately, TBP supports only up to 64 icons, so rest will have to put manualy (I prefer regular Paint!)

Excellent ZoNi! You read my mind. :) This approach is the best for so small icons. I started myself to make a "minimalist style" toolbar, but if yours is already done, I'll delay mine for more relaxed times. Great job, again.

hi, this skin needs to be updated for some (1! ) extra icon that went into xplorer2 v1.8. I tried contacting you by email but I didn't get any reply, perhaps you'll read this...

your skin must be updated to work in v1.8, it should be very easy to do. But if it is not updated then it won't work any more :(

I will update full Squarez skins pack, not only this blue version (this blue version is obsolete).

Which icon should I add? I will check in my email, I think that I saw your email, but didn't have time to do anything back than, and later I forgot :(
