2 news about "Adagio"

Journal Entry: Mon Oct 4, 2010, 11:44 AM


Two news about Adagio

I write this journal to share 2 "importants" things about the future of Adagio

1) Of course the version of Adagio I've just published is a final version. Nevertheless I like to listen to people and their suggestions, above all when they can help me to improve my work
That's why, following the differents recommendations about the taskbar I decided to create a substyle of Adagio with another taskbar, transparent and dark, exactly like my start menu :)
It means I will also keep the current taskbar, white and gray, for all people who like it.

The theme will also be compatible with the taskbar positionned on sides (sidebar). Same style.

But the creation of a new and beautiful taskbar takes a lot of times. So, give me some days to realize it :D
You will be notified immediately when my theme will be updated.

But don't forget, Adagio must stay a compact/non-aero theme. I won't add transparence for others areas, like the frame, jumplist etc. Please don't ask :D

2) On the other hand, I received a lot of questions and notes concerning "the infos extended" for explorer: How to apply them? Is there risk ? Can I use them in my own visual style? Must I edit some part of my
theme ? Why did you join differents version of your explorerframe.dll, the one in French, the other one in English and for others languages ? Is it really important ? etc
If you are used to edit your system files, you can take a look in the registry and in the explorerframe.dll file.

I can't answer in detail in the comment of my theme. So i decided to create a tutorial entirely devoted to these questions. Presentations, installation, possible limitations, how we can improve it, how to use them for your own language...
I will try to publish it this week, as soon as possible :)

I have an interesting idea for a new taskbar and from some comments saying how a dock is still more useful than the win7 taskbar

i have to say that using kishan bagaria's app to pin the recyclebin and other stuff and using either standalone stacks or 7 stacks i can realize the stacks feature so i looked around for a theme with a dock like taskbar looks, i found Auxo for summer [link] and used it here [link] but the explorer used was a bit too vibrant for daily usage and i also saw iohanna vs for win7 (it seems to be deleted for some reason) which was a beautiful black and had excellent indicators.

later i moved the taskbar to the top and modded it for top use but it really is more useful on the bottom so i was using your own dark soft (it looked excellent with black and texture...) but as i said it was dark in too many places so i am asking weather you can add dark soft taskbar in this way to adagio....

For me there is no need to change anything of this VS. It's great as it is. Otherwise it is a nice option to have a substyle.I personally like the white/gray taskbar.Thanx for all your work for the community.:D
