Joni_78 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 (edited) Hi I was looking for Longhorn PDC Slate theme and those I found had many errors so I desided to make new. This should be 100% correct. U can download copy from Here. Edited April 5, 2005 by Joni_78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecaveman Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Bad things about slate, it looks ugly when good when it's not semi-transparant or in much darker colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni_78 Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 It's 7mb unpacked, theme is 1,6mb and wallpaper 5,5mb. Theme bmp's were .png's in Longhorn so I desided to keep those like that insted of converting to bmp's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajouma Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Grea job, Joni_78! Thanks a lot! The 'theme' files (the 2k thing) seems to be corrupted: It crashes StyleXP. Best, Kajouma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni_78 Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 .theme file is from w2k3 so it doesn't work with XP, it should be removed before loading .msstyles file, I'll fix that later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman45654 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Nice work Joni_78, using the theme now. If you want to save some bandwidth you can use Winrar. It will compresses it down to 3.13 megs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniacidz Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Looks ok, but IMHO i dont like it too much. But well done anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni_78 Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Nice to hear you like it =). I packed those with WinRAR now, also added start menu flag. I might do shellstyle when I have more time. There should be white shellstyle.dll in XP windows/system32 dir, it looks pretty much like the one in Longhorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris123NT Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Awesome work man. Nice to see that someone was finally able to make a slate theme for XP/2003 that actually looked like the real slate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgarf28 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 very nice, but why it hasn't a shellstyle?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie Walker Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I've tried the search function but nothing came. how do I change the flag in the start menu button and how to change the file copying animation? ps. the theme is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni_78 Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 In explorer.exe you need to replace bitmap #143 to change the flag. For the file copy animation delete AVI #160 and 161 in shell32.dll. You can use Resource Hacker to do this, and to replace I usually boot into windows recovery console with Windows CD and copy the files (copy c:\windows\new\shell32.dll c:\windows\system32). Explorer.exe can also be replaced in safe mode but im not sure about shell32.dll. I'll add patched W2k3 and XP SP1 files later. Also remember that file copy animation is far from final, it's not transparent so background color only match with Slate theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgeek Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Very nice. I like it. Yep sure looks like Longhorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M118LR Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Can someone post a screen shot or two of what the toolbars look like? My Computer or Control Panel or IE would be good. The reason is I have SP2 and can't run this Theme right now and I would like to see what the screens look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooty Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Very nice and usable :) First time I use a slate theme more than 5 minutes ;) Nice in Macromedia apps and Photoshop ! Exept the white application background... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
