Added sync status icons for mail.

Thanks!

"New Tab" icon is "invisible" (for me?) !
Of course, one can click somewhere close to the righ end of the last tab and have new tab opened, but...

""New Tab" icon is "invisible" (for me?) !"
Invisible. Yes.

"New Tab" icon is "invisible" (for me?) !"
This, along with the trash can being too big will be fixed very soon. Frankly, I have no idea why this happened. But it is an easy fix at least.

There is also a problem in Linux with the topmost bar being dark grey with black text. Will fix this too.

good

AleksOD 25. January 2009, 04:46

Wow, lovely!

AleksOD 25. January 2009, 04:55

By the way, the filters in mail side panel do not have any picture for them (i.e. in the default skin there is a tiny folder picture right next to every label and this skin does not have anything).

Demonstro 26. January 2009, 17:12

Thanks for the comments. An update is now available. Please replace.

AleksOD 26. January 2009, 20:31

One of the best skins I have seen so far! Thank you very much!

romario73 27. January 2009, 04:12

Thank you!

Demonstro 27. January 2009, 17:42

@Barthez:
Thanks, man! The secure site indicator is weak now, I agree. I will try to fix this in the next update. Not really sure what you mean with your other comment. If you mean the 1px down behavior of the "Add tab" button I'm afraid that is nothing I can fix. The last tab and that button are somehow connected.

A new update is now available, with some more icon fixes/brush ups.

Nice skin! Too bad I gave up on Opera working with corporate PHP pages.

seaempty 28. January 2009, 07:18

Superb skin! I have a new favourite

bigstrand 28. January 2009, 13:37

excellent, very neat

moirob 28. January 2009, 17:05

Great work. Thanks

moirob 28. January 2009, 17:08

One idea, would it be possible to change skins of Top 10 and Bookmarks to '1' and '2' or '+' and '-'? Or do you not think that it would look good?

phae2y 1. February 2009, 14:59

great skin, only downside is when opening many tabs, i find it hard to tell which one is active... maybe you can highlight the active tab a lil bit? neways, thanks for the skin

Demonstro 3. February 2009, 13:59

@moirob: I don't understand what you're trying to say. What "Top 10"?

@phae2y: Great idea. I'll fix in next update.

iljajj 6. February 2009, 10:42

This is the skin that I've been waiting for, goes together great with my Good Grey OS X theme (http://www.cepophan.com/themes/). Go minimalism!

adarshakb 6. February 2009, 12:41

Very cood presentation... but wish the side bars were a little more thinner

dressman 6. February 2009, 12:47

COOL!!! THE BEST!!! Самая лучшая тема для OPERA!!! Просто The Best!!!

Demonstro 6. February 2009, 14:53

New update available. Please update, as this takes care of some seriously flawed security indication in the previous ones.

master1992 7. February 2009, 09:09

wow this is awesome. but this is better

Demonstro 9. February 2009, 12:08

@Barthez: Try now.

Didn't know how that could be a skin issue, then I noticed the width of the tabs being just that one pixel too wide. It was simply pushed out into oblivion.

Demonstro 9. February 2009, 21:23

Hm. I should get the language with the longest words to test with, then. If you want to fix it yourself (for now - I'll do it later sometime) the skin.ini entries are: [Tab Button Skin] and [Tabs Skin]. Changing the left/right paddings to smaller values will free up space.

For reference look here: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-skinning-part-4-skin-ini-element/#tabbuttonskin

zarkoh 18. February 2009, 10:05

Christian, can you make the tabs have the same length, like with the default Opera skin? I find it more practical like that. Cheers!

cduquette 1. March 2009, 07:37

Just wanted to say I love this skin. It's so clean and simple. Great work, keep it up!

Jrastaban 11. March 2009, 20:18

This is by far my favorite skin to date. Thanks so much!

samfresco 17. May 2009, 06:08

I like it!

lukaszsw 17. May 2009, 12:14

Hi,

I love this skin because tabs still look ok when displayed vertically (ulike other skins when they appear to be connected to address bar).

Anyway, the standard bar has a different shade of grey than the rest of the skin, can this be adjusted? by standard bar I mean the one with 'file', 'edit' and so on.

One other thing is that I think it might be better to have all user interface windows displayed in grey so that they'd make a grey frame around displayed webpage. Right now the address bar has white background and so does email client. Perhaps it is too much hassle but as an idea I think it would be clearer

Well, thank you very much for the effort! For me it is the best skin for Opera

laughbest 6. June 2009, 09:41

Nice skin. I like it.

vicenzo2009 11. June 2009, 01:54

i like it too!,thanks

tinytiger 1. July 2009, 04:24

I love this skin -- it's the first & only one I've bothered to install -- but every time I delete a bookmark from a folder, all of the bookmarks in that folder lose their star icons & are no longer displayed correctly. It can also be a bit difficult to see which tab is active when you have several tabs open - is it possible to highlight the active tab more aggressively, or "grey out" the inactive tabs?

Яско 15. July 2009, 05:17

ооо супер скин

лёгкий!

thnx!

sv-chamelea 16. July 2009, 17:22

Nice. But I wish the active tab was more noticeable.
Also, please note that the "Extender Menu icon" is missing for extra-long toolbars:

Tools >Appearance >Toolbars >Wrapping >Show Extender

Nickko 21. July 2009, 10:20

Light blue text on withe background is not very readble.

goopiks 10. August 2009, 12:50

cool theme...I'm using it now.I like it very much...

Demonstro 2. September 2009, 00:42

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm currently on paternity leave and don't have at all so much time on my hands I thought I would. However, now that Opera 10 is out, I will try and fix this skin. There are quite a bit of new stuff in Opera 10, so it can take some time to get into so bear with me.
