a little style idea^^ (1 Viewer)

[FreakyJ]

I played just a little bit with the stander skin and think that it looks pretty nice if you do the following changes:

SkinBase\Skin\default\themes\styles\Buttons.xaml

add in line 158:

 Opacity="0.2"

the block looks after that like this:

<!-- ************************* Control styles for buttons ************************* -->

  <Style x:Key="ButtonControlStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
    <Setter Property="Template">
      <Setter.Value>
        <ControlTemplate>
          <Rectangle x:Name="Shine" Stroke="{ThemeResource ButtonStrokeColor}" RadiusX="4" RadiusY="4" Opacity="0.2">
            <Rectangle.Fill>
              <RadialGradientBrush GradientOrigin="0.85,0.82">
                <RadialGradientBrush.RelativeTransform>
                  <TransformGroup>
                    <ScaleTransform CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5" ScaleX="1.335" ScaleY="1.582"/>
                    <TranslateTransform X="0.027" Y="-0.006"/>
                  </TransformGroup>
                </RadialGradientBrush.RelativeTransform>
                <GradientStop Color="{ThemeResource ButtonGradientLightColor}" Offset="0"/>
                <GradientStop Color="{ThemeResource ButtonGradientDarkColor}" Offset="1"/>
              </RadialGradientBrush>
            </Rectangle.Fill>
          </Rectangle>
        </ControlTemplate>
      </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
  </Style>

und in SkinBase\Skin\default\themes\styles\OtherControls.xaml the following changes:

after line 22 reüöace the code vlog with this one:

 <!-- default brush used to paint the background of a page/window -->
  <ResourceWrapper x:Key="BackgroundBrush" Freezable="true">
    <!-- </ResourceWrapper><RadialGradientBrush GradientOrigin="0.186,0.311">
      <GradientStop Color="{ThemeResource BackgroundGradientLightColor}" Offset="0"/>
      <GradientStop Color="{ThemeResource BackgroundGradientDarkColor}" Offset="1"/>
    </RadialGradientBrush> -->
    <RadialGradientBrush Center="0.54326,0.45465" RadiusX="0.602049" RadiusY="1.02049" GradientOrigin="0.4326,0.45465">
        <GradientStop Color="#57ffe6" Offset="0"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#008ee7" Offset="0.718518495559692"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#2c0072" Offset="1"/>
    </RadialGradientBrush>
  </ResourceWrapper>

I know, these are no big changes, but maybe you think it looks nice, too (I attached a image)
I'm already excited to hear your opinions^^

AW: a little style idea^^

Yeah, looks nice!
Although I think it's a bit too bright in the middle.

It's a good idea to make the buttons more transparent.

AW: a little style idea^^

nice to hear^^
my design skills aren't so high, so don't expect to much^^

if you want it a bit darker change the first color with this one: #4fe6d0, should be better now

Edit:\\

Maybe the navigation bar should be a bit more transparent, too. I think I will have a look on that the next days^^

cant wait to see some amazing skins in the future!
