DUDE!

Seriously, I have liked and disliked some of your Vista styles - but this is positively great. It's more than a look - it's a feature in my eyes! Nicely done.

My respect for you in this community is definitely growing!

ok i have to admit i didnt spend as much time aliasing as i should have, but theres a good reason to why i created this mod, and really its for fellow themers to use as a template...

Im currently busy with other things but about a month ago psycob released the infomation on how to resize the taskbar using binary edits... but unfortunatly this had a major bug.

I figued out how to fix the bug that caused the taskbar to double up as default, but no matter how hard i tried to explain to others how to do it, nobody seemed to get it right, so i decided it was easier to do it for them.

In short, ive done the hard bit, but not the easy bit...

Hopefully you will see fellow themers making some themes with a thin taskbar soon :) As i said before... im a little busy at the moment.

But if anyone wish's to improve on this, then please do so... The images are located in the .msstyle... extract them with a resource hacker from the IMAGE folder.

The Taskbar is 743.png

The Start button on bottom is 872.png

The start button on top is 876.png

The start button for doubled up taskbar is 868.png

    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
