I still think that the interior of the actual scrollbar should just be a very light blue. That would help distinguish it from the rest of the window but still keep it low-key enough.


yeah, i'm gonna have to agree with you on that... enough people have asked for some sort of change.

How about a version with a white/gray menu bar? Possibly the same color as the menus themselves have? Other than that, this theme is perfect. I'm really sick of shadows, bevels and fake 3d - flat UIs look so much better

I totally second it.

...Btw, Any progress on the Silver version Mediaman?
I'd like a version with the off-white menu bar. and I agree with some of the posters above about having the scrollbar light blue.

Oh the irony.
The latest versions of the XP this theme on which this is based have switched to the 'coloured' taskbar from the off-white version, after they saw the OSX version.
Now the OSX users are calling for a switch to the off-white from the Coloured version.

Silver is coming on nicely by the way.
If my productivity levels on this theme drop to zero then blame by girlfriend for giving me an iPod for Christmas!

w00t!

What about the tan/grey version that was posted in the original thread? I long for that version.

Anyway here is a Shot of progress so far (click for enlargement)

Where do change the Colours of the menu hi-lights in ThemePark?
I am attempting more of a popper port with this than a 'feeling of'
Lots of stuff left though yet.


I'm trying to understand why the expand widget does not resemble the other widgets in the non active window when it does in the active window. Looks wierd.

The inactive window in the background is System Preferences, which does not allow resizing, hence the widget is not outlined.
KidRed: the expand widget in the inactive window does not look the same because it is disabled... Also, the other two widgets have the outer-box border and the light highlight lay-over on them because in that screenshot he had his cursor hovering over them to show the different states.

Anyway, the Silver version is coming, just be patient Mediaman is doing an excellent job with this variant and the end result will be an overall better theme once the Blue and Olive are updated as well in version 1.4 of Watercolor.

Hey everybody, be sure to check out the new page that wagmedia made displaying his Watercolor icon sets and the cool matching wallpapers that he made over at http://icons.wagmedia.com/

My page has also been updated to reflect these great additions to the Watercolor theme.

Right here
Since this thread was bumped back up in the list, i would like to ask what happened with the silver variation of the theme??

...It was about finished a week ago but then there were no more news about it.

So, what's up with it Carbon, or Mediaman?

It is 'mostly' done. There are a few annoying bugs, the widgets in the brushed metal are still blue (I have changed all the parts with called MetalWindow in the name in Theme Park) Carbon, Who is running 10.2.1 not 10.2.3 said it was OK on his? Anybody know where the new (in 10.2.3) Brushed widgets are hiding? I also can't find the very 'Blue' text box hi-light glow (found something in the Localized.rsrc but that didn't change anything).
I guess Carbon has been busy with NewYear etc. as my part is almost done and it is up to him when to include it in his main Watercolour DLTA file.

We've not forgotten about Silver, as soon I receive the latest build I'll check it over and clean anything up. Then I just have to update all of the scrollbars in each variant before Watercolor 1.4 is released.
