Windows7 Starter Edition theme (240x320)

Added by taffypride over 1 year ago

Hi guys...

Just wanted to drop a quick preview of a Windows7 Starter Edition Theme which is going to be optimised for 240x320 resolution (that being the resolution of my phone).

Firstly, why Windows7 Starter Edition specifically? Well, no particular reason, but I thought it might fit a phone theme.

Firstly, we start off with the Windows7 Superbar:

Pretty straight forward really.....

Clicking the Start Orb brings up another familiar sight:

Complete with the Search box built into the menu.
The list on the right that would normally have your documents, control panel, etc, will hopefully be fully functional when I get around to it.

Thirdly, and this is as far as I have got so far, clicking the All Applications brings up, well, your App Drawer (whatever next, lol!):

From this point, things will be slightly different from the Actual Windows7 start menu.

Namely, the area where your most common apps are displayed above the All Applications menu, well, I am going to put some toggles in there for no other reason than to keep the desktop clean and tidy.

Any thoughts or criticisms so far? I know one tweak I will do later will be to add some gradient shading to the menus so they aren't as flat, and I might morph it into an Aero style as well.

Nice work man! I have a couple 230x320 phones at work and was thinking about building for this res eventually! Will be great to see how you get on.

Shit you just reminded me. Good job! I need to revamp that template post. I DL'd your files and moved them to my dropbox so I'll link them up soon :)

This looks really nice. I can't wait to see how you interpret Windows 7 and incorporate it into SH. :)

at the moment, I've decided to go back and look over my graphics and try to loose a bit more screen real estate....especially with the 'superbar'
