Experimenting doesn't always go right

[link]

Hey there peeps!

Sorry for the lack of consistent work for almost two years.. Got a bit busy with life and stuff and somewhat lost interest, but I feel the need to get back to it now!

I was thinking of maybe making a "Kiilki 2" theme sometimes soon.
I'll definitely make a mockup for it, but I wanted to know if there would be enough interest to push me and actually make a whole theme for it.

Or maybe something else. But it sounded like a good idea to me!

<sub>Soooo !

I've been asked why there are parts with black text over black backgrounds on my dark themes.
Unfortunaltely, every single dark theme encounters this problem. Some text colors can't be changed (I believe they're hardcoded somewhere, just like the caption button size).
I know it's annoying, but I can't do anything about it. I did my best to get the most text colors to gray, or light gray.


On another note. I'm currently making a new VS, see it here.
I'm quite happy with it. It's called Kiilki.
I'm doing my best on this one to improve the usability. As well as skinning more in-depth, skinning little details (that's something I don't usually bother doing).
The startmenu won't include the right panel, nor the shutdown buttons, NOR the all programs link (see screenshot). Yeah I know most of you will complain, but I won't change it. I made it the way I like it. I'll include Log Off and Shutdown shortcuts, so you can drag/drop them on your startmenu. I recommand using ObjectDock, so you can have your folder shortcuts. And if you need more, you can use the Favourite links panel, on the left of the window.
Oh and. I'm going to install 7 soon enough. So you might expect a 7 version of Kiilki too.

Btw, wtf microsoft?
The startbutton in explorer.exe? Is that a joke?
How about the caption buttons in shell32.dll while they're at it.
God...</sub>

... And I have a lot of messages.

I tried to answer everyone, but I skipped all the polls and jounrals, sorry everyone lol.

I'll be making a new VS soon, finishing up Anesthetic and mess up making some mods here and here with a few interesting styles i've seen some mins ago.
The vacation in the Canary Islands was awesomely great. I saw lots of things and it really wasn't like I expected. It's volcanoes all over the place there. Well I have some pics. I'll probably try to get them off the iPod and post them here..

<sub>Hey, summer's here and I've been working on a colorful mockup that I'll certainly make into a visual style when I get back from Africa, so that's about the end of august, maybe september. Being helped by Satukoro, haha, that guy is awesome I'll post the mockup soon for you guys to see.

Bye!</sub>

_{I won't be on from July 4th to August 24th, cause I'm going on vacation to the Canary Islands. Can't wait}

<sub>Terminal's progress is at like 98%.

Release date : Saturday, may 30th.

I'm so excited</sub>

_{Woot ! It's coming people ! I apologize if the work has been stopped lately, but now we're back on working on the VS, Satukoro and me. Might expect a release soon enough.}

_{Alright, well I've been asked to release that VIP substyle which can be seen on my last shot, and I thought I could maybe just update the other substyles to look like that one, and make another private substyle for the workers later. So, Terminal VIP will now become Terminal RWND. I already updated FFWD and the normal style aswell. But, concerning the pink one, I'm not very sure about it. Doesn't please me that much, so I might not release it.. I'll see later.
Updates of screenshots soon.}

Hurra for ! This guy, he's so nice, he gave me his VSB. Like, I can't believe it, really.. I'll get alot faster now, and it will be a hell of a lot easier. I couldn't thank him enough, never. Everyone says thanks to him ! haha

Hello guys, just telling you something, if you would want to support me, you can always donate me on my paypal account which is s3rial-gun3r@live.be
If I get enough money (around 17€ ) I will buy Vista StyleBuilder. That would speed up my work alot.
If you want to donate something; please, send me a note, tell me who you are. That would be very nice. Thanks for your support, I appreciate it.

Hey guys. This time I'm not telling you I made a new substyle, no, but asking if someone would be interested to work with us. That person would make the wallpapers to go with the suite. If you're interested, contact me.

Hey guys ! First, sorry for journal spamming. Just wanting to keep giving you news about the project, so you know we aren't dead. I made a new substyle. Again. This time, it's all white, with a black touch, to please white lovers. FFWD is a really clean one, and it fits with most grey~ish wallpapers. Screenshot soon, if I have the time..

Vista installation worked. Comp runs fine, so we started working, Puigi and me. I made the pink version already, and then Puigi had a nice idea, to make the gradient rainbowish~gaiaish. Like in one of my screenshots. So I made it, it looks really really great, and we called it RWND. I'm very happy about it I made some ObjectDock skins to match aswell. Screenshot of RWND soon.

Aaah I'm so happy. My friend came at my house again, and for some reasons now it works again. But, my HD kinda reseted itself, so all files are gone. But it works. I'm installing Vista right now, so I'll start making my theme from the start soon. By the way, when I had it, I made 2 versions, the black one you can see in my screenshot, and another one with white at the bottom. Now, I'm gonna do a collab with some nice people, and we're gonna make one with a bit of pink, + ALOT of applications skins. Isn't that nice? Hehe. But it might take alot of time, since I gotta remake my VS completely, and there's much things to do. Maybe I'll make an iconpack aswell, or maybe it won't be me, I don't know yet. Just an idea. And wallpapers. We're gonna try to make that. I'll keep giving you guys news about it.

The new userpage is nice ! But I think it's quite sad that some elements are only for paying users.. Anyways, I went to the store for my comp, and it was closed. It's closed till the 27.. But a friend is coming to my house today, he said he could try to fix it, we'll see..

My comp finally died completely, well the hard drive did. I lost everything, even my VS's, no more Terminal or anything. I will bring my comp back to the store tomorrow, I'll probably have to buy a new hard drive..
