[new skin] avast! Vista GUI (aVist) completed...

General Topics
1

Even though avast! doesn’t work with latest Vista build (not Alwil’s fault), I am sure Microsoft guys will fix that problem for the next Vista build…

Anyway, for all those on Windows XP, you can enjoy new Vista feel and look using our beloved avast! Yes, I had some time on my hands, and I wanted to see our antivirus in Vista-styled skin. It will be the first antivirus with Vista skin.

Still working on it, please be patient… I still have to compile all those graphical parts for Program Settings panels. Other than than, skin is pretty much ready and it’s working great.

Interesting thing is… I created every single part of this skin in Windows Vista build 5536, and now checking it on Windows XP since avast! doesn’t work with new Vista release.

When I’m done with this skin, I will contact, or at least I will try to contact Vlk… he’s not answering my e-mails lately (probably too busy), but let’s hope this skin will find its place inside avast! skins download section.

Oh yes… the name of this skin is aVist

I hope you all (or at least, most of you) will like it.

Cheers !

Here are some screenshots:

Old HELP button (rejected and changed… to see new version of Help button, take a look at few post below):

Glowing Minimize and Close buttons (Just like in real Vista OS):

Everything is exactly the same as in these screenshots except I switched positions of Removable Media and Folder Selection buttons.

Ok people… skin is officialy finished and compiled. All I need now is to hear from someone from Alwil. The reason is, I don’t want to bug them sending this skin to everybody’s e-mail (Alwil staff), simply because I don’t know who is suppose to be my POC (Point of contact).

I would greatly appreciate if someone from Alwil can direct me… after that, I will send this skin installation file to whoever is willing to upload it to avast! skins download section.

Thanks in advance!
Sasha

Awesome work! Can’t wait to download it :o

12

NO COMENT :o WONDERFUL WORK!!!

I like your new avatar too, can you make one for me please? If you have time…

13

Another small update… I changed appearance of HELP button. Now it’s more noticeable, and IMHO it looks little better. Also, top buttons are better organized and aligned. Here is how new Help button looks like now:

Old Help button still can be seen on those first screenshots I posted inside initial post in this thread.

Cheers !

P.S. Still no word from Alwil… Maybe they don’t like this skin, I don’t know… :-\ Hey guys, are you there ? It’s I… Sasha… your friend, lol… ;D ;D ;D

14

Yes, I can… no problems. It’s just I can not do it right now, since I am leaving for a meeting with my client downtown. But if you tell me, what would you like to have as your avatar, I can try to please you when I am back around 3 PM (now it’s 11:23 AM here in Toronto).

Cheers !

Sure no problem, you can make the avatar when you have time :wink:
Well if it’s possible something mixed with this avatar that I have, and something conected with avast! I also like the small red icon from Passolo Translator, or maybe you can make something to suprise me… :wink:

17

OK, sorry for the delay, I had to stay little bit longer than I expected…

Anyway, you avatar is finished and ready for upload. And that is of course, only in case you like it… if you don’t, just pretend you didn’t see it, hehe ;D ;D ;D

Thank you :-* i love the new avatar :wink: awesome
By the way can you give me little help with the computer I am confused something I am not sure what is happening with it…I posted the problem in Viruses and Worms thread…

19

Well you alwil guys what’s up? Are you guys on hollidays or what? Some of us are really itching to get this skin on …

20

It is really amazing that no one from Alwil even responded to this thread… at least something like: "…oh well, skin doesn’t meet criteria to enter skins section… we’re sorry…".

Alwil… please, don’t let us beg you to answer here.

I would really like to know what’s happening… summer vacations ? ;D All of them ? ;D ;D ;D
