[Customizable] Morphic Theme [9 Controls] - Hawk HF - Dec 6, 2014

I've been seeing themes pop up everywhere lately.
Some have been good. Others... not so much.

Anyway, here's my latest project: Morphic Theme.

[Image: c915c70670f46bfae3556ad39cddeea0.png]



I chose to name this project Morphic Theme because it has a couple of adjustable preferences that allow you to make this theme your own. Unfortunately, its not as customizable as some of the other themes that have been released here, but you can easily change a few variables and have what seems to be a whole new theme.

Here's a few more screenshots to show you what can be created with this theme:
Spoiler (Click to View)



The only things that were changed in each of the above images was a couple of variables.

These variables can be found within the Preferences module within the source. You can change these variables to whatever you would like. Therefore, if you're a fan of light themes, you can adjust the colors to be lighter, and if you're a fan of crazy rainbow unicorn themes, you can do that too. You'll find comments to describe exactly what each variable changes within this module as well.

By default, the dark red theme will be set.



Controls:
  1. Skin
    • Optional Icon

    • Built-in minimize and exit buttons



  2. Button
    • Glow on mouseover

    • Increased color intensity when clicked



  3. Separator
    • Adjustable color

    • Adjustable color intensity



  4. Check Box
    • Custom check mark

    • Glow on mouseover

    • Mouse detection to prevent unwanted checking



  5. Radio Button
    • Glow on mouseover

    • Mouse detection to prevent unwanted checking



  6. Progress Bar
    • Percentage displayed

    • Increased color intensity as progress increases



  7. Tab Control
    • Glow on mouseover



  8. Text Box

  9. Track Bar
    • Glow on mouseover







Inspiration:
I recently created a custom theme for a client, and this is what I managed to come up with:
Spoiler (Click to View)

I really liked the outcome of that theme, so I decided to make another dark theme.

The above theme will remain private as I was paid to design it.
Its simply unethical and immoral to release a source that was paid for, however, you may see resemblances between the two.

If you would like to try this theme before you use it, you can get a binary that includes all of the listed controls here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64850826/HackForums/VB%20Themes/Morphic/Morphic.exe

In the binary, click the buttons to switch between a few color schemes.



Feel free to use this in any free/public release as long as you give credit.

If you find any bugs, please report them to me through a PM or by posting here.

Enjoy.

Thanks.
The red one probably looks the best because it was originally designed with the red colors, but I decided that it wouldn't be too hard to implement a few public variables to allow customization. This is also why I decided to make the red theme the default.

Good to know. :)
I remember some of my first themes were really rough on the eyes, but I've learned a lot since then.

Your Bonfire theme is the best for me, it's even more nice when you customize it :

Bonfire was indeed a nice one.
Most of my better themes come from UI web kits. Generally speaking, if the web kit looks nice, the theme will too.

I guess you're referring to the skin? I didn't release a groupbox here - at least not yet.

Ui web kits are indeed fun to recreate. What website do you use? Dribble is pretty nice.

Usually I take requests from other users.
Occasionally I'll look around for a few.
