The implementation of the new theming system across all components is progressing well. Once completed, literally, every section of Orbitiny will be themable and there won’t be a single application that would not be able to receive a custom CSS and the best thing is that everything will be uniform and would look the same when the theme is applied (which is not the case with releases up to Pilot 10x).
The screenshots I am posting here are just an example of the new glass theme that I’ve been designing. I am trying to come up with something that’s unique and looks good.
It’s progressing slow due to applications not being theme aware (old code 2016-2020) but I am revamping everything and replacing it with new code, hence for being slow.
Here are some more examples of what I am up to.
This is an example of an user input dialog. About the color tone, again, that depends on the desktop wallpaper but there is also another layer of coating that gives it a dimmer look. I will definitely create light coating along the current one.
This is a screenshot of the Directory Browser’s properties dialog:
I do like using rounded blocks and enclosing all the components in it. That itself gives it a unique look. The colors, rounding, shading, transparency can all be adjusted in the CSS file.
Audio button properties:
My ultimate intention with this theme is to make it look, futuristic and industrial or a bit like what you see in DAW / Audio applications.
Anyway, more updates are coming soon.
