Grape's Glassy Style Description

Advertisement Grape's Glassy Style is a Social & Communication software developed by ProGrape. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be official, secure and free. Here is the official description for Grape's Glassy Style: The goal in creating this style was to end up with a very clean look while maintaining ease of use, compactness, and full functionality. Any unneccesarily obtrusive visual elements were done away with, such as message borders (replaced with the more organic look of rounded glass to define the edges) and dividers between successive messages by the same user. The service provider of each member of a conversation is not displayed, as this information is usually unnecessary and can easily be found elsewhere on the rare occasions that it is needed. The colours used for the text (white and bluish Shades thereof) provide for a visually simple yet still fully Readable message window. Care has been taken to choose a message background that allows a wide range of window background images to be used, from dark to light, while maintaining readablilty. There are subtle shadows around the user names and status/File Transfer messages that make them visible even on fairly light backdrops. One of the things I have found lacking in many themes is a good-sized set of avatars. In the future, some text may be added centred between the two and the images rounded at the corners and shaded, but for Now the simple look is best. One other small detail is the way that the message text makes room around the displayed time. For the first two lines of text in a message, there is even spacing on either side of the time, and after two lines, the message text comes in below the time, filling the entire width.
