You still using it? Good . Are you using the new Zip based one or the old Chameleon code based one? I did not get any feedback on the new one except for Mirek saying that he doesn't like external files. I have been using it for months now as my default theme in TheIDE and in some apps. I like it but the gray can become depressing after a while. Been thinking of another color scheme for it, something more lively yet easy on the eyes.

I'm using the old one. I like internal image editor and similar to Mirek I prefer no external files. As for depresing. Recently I modified your theme. I added orange border for default buttons. But even without that my application (http://digitalsoftware.pl/pic.php?img=img/traveller1.png) doesn't seem to be depressing. The old version of your theme doesn't support button theming inside drop list control (in my case dropgrid) and on attached screenshot vista style is used there (and this is what I prefer, simple images on white background). Those white colors here and there brighten up the dark theme. And there are many colors on the main grid. Generally I like this mix Smile

And yes, there where some problems with scrollbars, because of the way hotspots work and the way they filter the content in between. If you play a little with the scrollbar width, I think you can reduce the blurriness. I don't think I have the perfect scrollbar width out of the box.

Yes, I tried that. Reducing width of scrollbar helped (IMO they're too big by default)

Anyway, I tried to create my own theme many times, but I always failed Smile

That's why I thought about theme creator app where the output would be an upp package. In this app one could observe in realtime any change made to images or theme settings on any upp control.
