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

    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
