Although, this next release (Pilot 11) is coming along at a slower pace, I want you to rest assured that the project has not stagnated and that I am right here and actively working on it.
The main reason for slow updates are R&D, creativity + code development as it takes a great deal of work and effort especially when only one person is involved and working on a project but rest assured that it will not discourage me from completing the project and continue working on it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please consider making a donation if you can. It will definitely motivate me to spend more time on it and to the ones who have donated already, a Big Thank You.
I’ve also been working on another theme. In this screenshot below, I’ve made use of two different themes at the same time (for demonstration purposes for this post). The panel is using an acrylic aero-like theme while the rest of the UI is using a completely new and unique theme, which to be honest, I quite like. It is about 95% complete.
The best thing is that nearly all Orbitiny components now make use of the new theming system. This means that they all look the same. To be 100% on point, this has been the biggest obstacle for me (now about 95% gone).
This screenshot below demonstrates two themes at the same time just to show off / present to you what I am to.
As part of the new theme, I want to give the panel the same look as the two windows above it. That means a transparent glassy outline with with an enclosed block containing the applets.
I will be providing more updates soon.
UPDATE: Here is a quick screenshot of what you can expect when the new theme is applied to the panel. There is still plenty of work to do with this one but you can get an idea of how it would look roughly.
