XP Themes - Oblivious by antimatter

XP Themes / Oblivious

Artist's Note

Well ... here it is. I honestly have no idea why I'm releasing this.

This is the Visual Style used in a handful of my recent WIP shots over at GSM. It's completely unchanged from its appearances there. It's completely open-source; modify it, port it, butcher it until it doesn't even resemble itself, then release it. I don't really care.

It's also somewhat unfinished. I'll be the first to admit that I went completely half-assed on the start menu and assorted odds and ends. It probably looks best with Litestep or another alternate shell -- anything you can do so only the windows are shown. Because the windows are done. Everything else? Not so much.

Anyway, that's the deal here. Have fun with it.

Licensing: the artist has specified that ports and mods are allowed.

	report antimatter says: qslig: You have to teach yourself you click on the black borders. They're only 3px wide, so it does take practice ... but they are draggable. Tue, Jul 3rd at 11:52am (2 years ago)

	report Nefastos says: I appreciate it a lot from an aesthetic viewpoint, but closing a normal window with this VS is a pain in the ass since you either have to right click the program from the taskbar or then go through the file menu in the program window... Or am I just retarded and forgetting some simpler way of closing windows using this vs? Wed, Jul 11th at 04:51am (2 years ago)
	report antimatter says: Nefastos: I, personally, use mouse gestures. It makes things quite simple. I suppose you could also get in the habit of alt-f4'ing everything closed, though that might get tedious. This seems to be one of the pratfalls of designing something strictly for its appearance, as functionality is always doomed to take a backseat. Wed, Jul 11th at 01:07pm (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: When I modified a VS to be titlebarless in my shot "Minimalized" there were buttons you just couldn't see them. And had to get used to where they were in order to click min, max, and close. Fri, Jul 13th at 06:43am (2 years ago)
	report gmladenov04 says: amazing Sat, Jul 14th at 07:07am (2 years ago)
	report musiiq says: Fantastic VS. However, like Pyro_ said, I wish the buttons to close/max/mini were still there but just invisible. Wed, Aug 15th at 04:53pm (2 years ago)
	report musiiq says: Apparently you can't edit your posts.. so I'd like to ask, what font it is you are using in the screenshot posted here? Wed, Aug 15th at 04:57pm (2 years ago)
	report antimatter says: That would be Calibri. Thu, Aug 16th at 01:27pm (2 years ago)
	report omgnikko says: nice concept. Tue, Sep 4th at 08:33am (2 years ago)
