Angle Stripes

Hello,

You can always make yourself any texture and put it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Start10\MenuTextures" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Start10\TaskbarTextures". Or you can download it from the internet.

Thank you,

Hi Basj,

That, I already know. I need some specific instructions, like best file type, best resolution, how does the accent color work for these textures, etc... I'm not a graphic artist, so it's going to be a challenge either way.

Or, the developer can just open up small angle stripes, make the stripes a little thicker and release it in an update. 

Hello,

I have forwarded your request to the Stardock support team for their review and recommendations. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We really do appreciate your feedback, Thanks.

Hi, is there any news on this matter? Any instructions that I could follow to make this myself?

Hello,

No news yet.

That's disappointing, what seems to be the problem? Is there another support channel I can use?

Your request was send as a feature request but up to them to consider it or not. That said it easier if you do a search on line for the texture or make it yourself and put it in the folder I mentioned above.

Here a simple search on angle stripe texture available online :https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&biw=1266&bih=1006&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACYBGNTGOiMJ0PW2MzNbY6rhCDyaeyxfXA%3A1569157723500&sa=1&ei=W3KHXZaNHon6rQHNm5qoBQ&q=angle+stripe+texture+png&oq=angle+stripe+texture+png&gs_l=img.3...6679.8527..8858...0.0..0.97.242.4......0....1..gws-wiz-img.cA-gaJx9V3Y&ved=0ahUKEwjWptKFwOTkAhUJfSsKHc2NBlUQ4dUDCAY&uact=5

You can start from there.

But you fail to provide details about the texture format, transparency settings, etc... You can't just take any texture and expect it to work exactly as the built in texture.

See two captures, one with Windows on Dark theme, the other on Light theme. Compare the angle stripes, surely I'm not the only one who finds it very difficult to see the angle stripes with the light theme? Wanting for the angle stripes to actually be somewhat visible with the light theme is not a feature request. It's a bug that nobody noticed when light theme support was added to Start10...

...

Nope. I don't expect it to work right off. Need to modified the textures. I guess coming with background of Windowblinds, I don't expect everything work like what I want it too look like. Usually I have to modified the textures manually until it get to how I want it to look like. And there is really no guide on how to do it.

This is specially true when Windows 10 decide it want to have dark and light theme. Usually there is two different texture or graphics pieces need each for light and dark Windows 10 theme.

As for your screenshot, I can't really know what you expect it too look like. How will it good for you? Since different people have different taste. For me the white stripe on the Light theme look fine. The Stripe is suppose not to be distracting. If you wish it to be more you can always recolor it something else and see the result.

"And there is really no guide on how to do it."

Then you've not actually provided a solution for those who do not have a background in graphics design, like your average customer.

"This is specially true when Windows 10 decide it want to have dark and light theme. Usually there is two different texture or graphics pieces need each for light and dark Windows 10 theme."

So, you agree with me Light theme support in Start10 was rushed and is not really complete then?

"As for your screenshot, I can't really know what you expect it too look like. How will it good for you?"

You don't know what I expect? Then how could you have forwarded a feature request? Isn't the first step to actually understand the customer and trying to reproduce what the customer is seeing?

"Since different people have different taste. For me the white stripe on the Light theme look fine. The Stripe is suppose not to be distracting. If you wish it to be more you can always recolor it something else and see the result."

There are no white stripes in my screenshot... That's the whole point of me asking for details on the graphics file. The stripes are based on the accent color... and in my screenshot I have the default Win 10 Light theme background. So the stripes would have a blue color. Not that I can see them, which would be what I would expect. Not distracting, but just a bit more visible than now.

If you referring to the Light theme.. your second screenshot. There is a stripes on it. Not really sure why you can't see it.

Anyway, I have forwarded your questions/problems to the Stardock Support team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate you feedback and patience.

The images can be modified in image editors such as paint.net

To make it more visible on light you can darken it by reducing brightness.
