Hey, this is my first visual style- work is based on original SLATE theme from Microsoft Windows Lognhorn, its pretty much just a crystal colored version with a little of the aero-keynote color variations on the taskbar - originally a theme I was going to make for myself, it came out so good I said "Hey, why not release this?".

The theme looks superb when using glass2k: http://www.chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml

For transparency effects on windows, and specially the taskbar - I dont reccomend you use it without them, looks so much better .

Here are some screenshots:

Looks good!

Looks perrrty. Thanx buddy.

Olá, cpu killer

Bom tema, bem conseguido, parabéns !!!

Na versão pt do windows xp parece que o final da palavra "Iniciar" ainda aparece no botão.
Se puderes arranjar isso era optimo ....

Obrigado,

Really nice VS dude!

Quick question: is the longhorn-style clock you have in the screenshot a part of the VS, or is it a separate program? If so, what program are you using to format the clock to that style?

xORIGINALx

Thank you man!,but I like to ask you can you made a compact start panel and mote thin task bar?

Com certeza verei isto, se lembre - ainda não conheço muito do stylebuilder .
== Sure, I will look into it - but remember, I'm still new to stylebuilder so not sure how long it will take to figure it out .


Any guides on making that compact menu ? And I'll look into a thinner taskbar .

Thanks for the comments guys!

EDIT: Heres the clock I used in the taskbar, its called LClock and its great : http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=157465

Very cool.

Nice!

congratulations Cpukiller, this is really good, great, i love it! i'm using it

Parabéns! Bonita variação.

(congrats, nice variation)

I like it, except for the fact I don't like the Start button (but that's not your fault). Also, you have a strange idea about what colour a crystal is.

But still, one of the better Slates

this is just nice work...very professional. i like it.

Is it possible to uh.. not have the blue in the startmenu? doesn't really fit with everything else. I'd also like a compact startmenu without the big user picture although i have no idea where to make a compact startmenu in the first place

very nice. altho the startbutton from slate looks so damm crappy but hey, it looks crappy in every released slate theme.

Fantastic, great VS !

I thought i was the only one who noticed that thank god someone else does notice it

Nice

Ok! Thanks for the great comments, and after the first day I have concluded that:

- This theme causes some sort of problem when loaded with StyleXP, altho I have no idea what it might be as I dont use stylexp, but you can just creat a folder SlateCRYS in your resources/themes folder and copy the mssstyle there .

- I will try and get the start button fixed for international (non-english) versions of the OS.

- Will work on compact, and re-colored start menu - also version without the top part w/ user pic .

- Also to ome, a thinner taskbar verson.

Anyways, more suggestions and comments are welcome - thank you all for your input!

can u add this start menu??

it's 10x greater!!

Downloaded now, pretty cool

looks great! thx

WOW This is the best SLATE VS I've ever seen. Thanx.

Well, I can try .
I'm not hacking it directly from the VS that has it, as that would be a rip - but I will try my best to simulate it .
And for the rest, thanks on the comments .

Thanks for Your hard work cpu killer.
