That looks really nice!

Would you please post the blue theme so I can try it?

Here is the "Watercolor Medium Blue" Theme.

Tested Watercolor-Blue, great theme, at the first start AROS One did not start, you forgot the extension .PNG to the file included in "Zoom"

Through an emergency ISO I eliminated the PNG extension, I also replaced the top bar, added the logo to adapt it to AROS One, I also increased the value of the "TitleOffset", to leave space for the clock!

Thanks for testing it.

I will fix the .PNG extension error.  ;)

I suppose in the future when posting a new theme I'll zip the current theme being tested on AROS rather than the theme sources in Windows 10. That way you get the real deal.  8)

In the config it looks nicer if you set BarJoinBG = 145 50 instead of 145 40. It gives it an extra 10 pixels between the transition and the beginning of the right side gadgets. That's the point where the TitleBar transitions from light to dark with the cubic design.

I tried BarJoinBG = 145 50, but I found no difference !

The screensho 860x646 penzalizes the graphics a lot, the quality of "Watercolor Medium Blue" on AROS One is very high.

Tomorrow I try to change the color of the title, let's see if it improves!

White is the best choice for texts on Blue Themes, JPG screenshots do not show quality, I took a screenshot in PNG, now the quality of the text is "almost" like that seen on Wanderer with AROS One x86 .

Also, if a supported Video Sheda is installed on AROS, the quality of the graphics and colors will be more beautiful to look at.

In my experience some people like bright colors for themes and some prefer darker, pastel colors that are more subdued.

So with that in mind I designed a bright series starting with "cool blue" that I finished yesterday and "blueberry" that I'm working on now. The watercolor_blueberry theme is pastel blue. The watercolor_cool blue theme is bright blue. There will be several color variations for both the bright and pastel series.

Here is watercolor_blueberry theme.

I also included watercolor_cool blue from yesterday.

I fixed a few things and made a new zip file.

This is the original watercolor window themes from Windows Whistler. It has bright blue, pastel blue, pastel green, and grey.

I have re-designed the first three for AROS Watercolors Themes. The grey theme isn't needed because AROS uses activated and deactivated colors. Grey is for deactivated.

For the AROS color schemes from the top to bottom are Cool Blue, Blueberry, Green Apple, and Deactivated Grey. The Watercolor Themes have strange names but it helps to keep the colors in mind and it's fun too!  :)

There will be a few more color variations including red, brown, purple, and olive.

Here are the original watercolor color schemes in blue-green.

I've added red-brown and purple-olive color schemes.

The actual themes colors may vary from these concepts.
