Maxthon 3.0.20.5000

Xeroblaqk · 27 Feb 2011

( Decaytion | Xeroblaqk ) is proud to present the first Maxthon 3 skin on DeviantART. Version 2.0 to be exact! Version 1.7 was a huge success and the need for a good minimal theme for Maxthon 3 was bigger than I expected, so without further ado, please read through the changelog on what exactly was done!

You can download this theme over at: DeviantART

Change log version 2.0

Removed Undo Tab close button.
Removed History Button.

Moved Blue Menu button from far right to upper left of the browser with a brand new Logo.
Reduced Max-Tab-Size to 160px from 180px to allow for more tabs open.
Made Status Bar Transparent.
Added slight blue gradient to main skin.
Square tabs.
Thinner tabs.
Re-did tab overlay to tint of blue.

Known Issues

Transparent Status bar is hard to read on darker backgrounds, adding a glow around text causes major lag on the browser. Work around being worked on.

I'd love to hear feedback from the SevenForums community. :) Ideas and suggestions are welcomed as well.

I certainly like it! Can't wait to try it.

A quick update has happened :) I'm excited to show it off, and almost ready for the public.

Padding space between tabs/top has been reduced!

Status bar height has been reduced.

Hey thanks, Xeroblaqk! I got it installed. It looks great on my HP2509 wide screen monitor. This skin is much better (for me) than default. Again, thanks!
So far all looks good. Great work!

I'm really glad you like it! If you have any further ideas for the theme, just let me know :)

Why does every browser go for the Tab on Top now!? I hate it so much.

You can switch themes that let you put tabs on the bottom.

I prefer them on top though. Maybe I'll make a theme with the tabs below after this one!

Here we go, a nice little preview of What v2 of Evolve already looks like

*New official Maxthon Logo main menu button!
*Thinner/Square tabs to maximize space!
*Blue Gradient for main background, will be enhanced by release time.

*Tab Options now in more optimized position with skinnier hover image, will change to square by release!

*Status Bar even thinner than ever to keep the main focus on the web pages you're visiting!

Any thoughts? Opinions? Feedback? It's all welcome! Thanks!
