Here is my first completed (I think) Phoenix skin - using Iceman's Aqua icons. I sized the icons for the small toolbar. I have the large toolbar almost complete also.

For some reason I could not get the original large icons to sit on the top bar. It is now! I think the "home" is sitting a hair too low and the "printer" is sitting too high. What do you think....................:D

Ok - it's done! I will try to upload it here. It might be too big though. You can find it at HWG's too in "skins"

http://www.hardwaregeeks.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1715&perpage=10&pagenumber=11

Please take it down if you feel it's too big a file to upload..

The throbber is an apple - if you want my alternative throbber, let me know - i'll give you instructions on how to change.

Hello people, There will be a new release of Aqua-Jag that addresses the small icon alignment issue as well as vertical toolbar space used. The icons will be resized for this update as well as to reduce the "zooming" effect.

Some of those can be used. And he has an Icon request link as well:

I noticed he doesn't have the back and forward icons, or the Stop, or the refresh.
Those would be the four that you would definitely need.

Phoenix Technika MinimalistEXP-

For a limited time* *(until the proper icons arrive)

MinimalistEXP will be available. This is a skinned version, designed to emulate Twist's msstyle Technika visual style. (For those who are using other than XP, and want the Technika style, or those who use "Classic" style)

There will be a plain version so that your OS may skin the theme.

THIS IS WIP - almost everything is skinned

If I can put a toolbar set together, I will - but there may not be enough icons that would make sense.

The only thing I don't like about that them Lynch, is that damn spider.. it just doesn't go well with the other icons IMHO... :D

March 15th, 2003, 05:19 AM
the bug is not part of the theme - it is the compact menu extension that minimizes the text menu to the image.

BTW, thank you - :D

One other tip, and I don't even know if this is possible, but it will sure take the guesswork out of the icons,
perhaps you could subscript the item name under the ICON. Like the print icon, underneath could read PRINT.. Back Icon, could read BACK, and so on...

Might help out a newbie getting used to that theme..

Other than that the theme looks really good.
