Inspirational Royale
A modified version of Royal Inspirat.

Inspirational Royale is my first modified visual style to come to public use though I am afraid that permission to actually release this modification was denied but was allowed to share it amongst others.

This visual style contains three different types of fonts to choose from as well as four different editions to choose from (so far). It comes in carbon edition (a combination of dark grey and light blue), blue edition (the original Inspirat Royale colours), mint edition (some kind of blue/green and orange) and last but not least olive edition which you should be able to imagine.

Inspirational Royale was first up on the 7th October, 2004 for requests but I have now stopped giving the .msstyle out and sorry for those who have missed out.

Inspirational Royale Modified
A modified version of Inspirational Royale.

The new comer to the Inspirational Royale, meet the modification of a modification of a modification. I have had this hiding on my computer for some time, a few months ago to be precise. The default font used is HandelGotDLig which so happens not to be free so some people will miss out experiencing Inspirational Royale Modified - in it's original form - meaning that there is two more font types for this visual style but none of them will be as better looking than the original. I am afraid though that Modified only comes in one edition which is the blue edition but I consider it the best edition over the rest.

The taskbar imitates as a transparent taskbar but as this was purposely designed for one use, it isn't 100% real transparency. So some may find it hard to use due to the taskbar unless you work the taskbar and your desktop wallpaper to give it a sense it is transparent (which I strongly encourage people to do).

I hope people enjoy this modification of Inspirational Royale and for those who are interested please read below to see how to request this visual style.

Looks good! It's one I'd definitely use.
What font is being used in the screenshot?
Will it come with the VS?

For me too, please.

The font being used for the active/inactive bar and taskbar is Trebuchet MS while in the menu (File, Edit, etc.) is Segoe UI, they'll be both be zipped with the .msstyle if it does get released. There's also Tahoma and Frutiger Linotype available to switch for the active/inactive bar and taskbar.

I'll try with the normal/thick taskbar - don't really know how as I'm still a beginner, still learning the values.

Don't worry if you can't, I'm sure it won't stop most people from using it! Me included!

Please do some rare colorations. Like red or white, those would be sweet to see IMO.

Very nice!

deepfriedmario

Oct 5 2004, 00:33

The start menu is just the same as Royal Inspirat but isn't gradient. And no, I'm not going to release it, this was just to tease you...

Like I said, I'm waiting for permission, I've already asked Stefanka two days ago but he hasn't replied back with an answer.

@INFERNO2k: I'll try it out.

Man, some of you people need to learn to read the whole post. He said he's waiting for permissions, spamming RELEASE IT does absolutely nothing to help quicken the process.

As for the theme, I thinks it looks pretty nice, hopefully stefanka will grant you permission

deepfriedmario

Thanks Vellox.

looks real nice good job... ill definetely be using it if it is released

deepfriedmario

Also, the visual style will come with three options for fonts. Trebuchet MS, Arial and Frutiger Linotype. Frutiger Linotype was put in there at the last minute, I can't say it's anything spectacular (for the ones who haven't seen it) so I was wondering what people would like instead of it or if they want to keep it as Frutiger Linotype.

tha.punkie

Oct 5 2004, 14:41

at least u could put Arial for anyone who prefer the standard font look on the system (me included) and have frutiger linotype as well as tahoma or verdana.

i really really cant wait for it.

Arial is already in.

@Relativity_17: I do mind. ;( Actually, the caption buttons still have bugs that I'm going to try and fix.

Okay, Stefanka has replied and the official answer is no. This is what he replied with at Aero-Soft Forums:

looks good, but each time me ask many people if they can release a moddet Inspirat/Royal Inspirat or what ever. If i gave them all permission to do this then we have soon 100 version of Royal/Inspirat.
There is not enough differentiate to the original.
You can share it but not release

Hope you understand this

it doesn't really look like stephankas so you could have made it your own... thats just my 2 cents though

I think StefanKa is tired of seeing ppl asking for permission right now. I think you guys should calm down and let author ask him again later. If you don't want to wait for hopeless chance, remove inspriat resources and make new one that doesn't related to inspriat.

deepfriedmario

Oct 6 2004, 13:55

Well, he replied so there is no "thinking". I understand his decision and you think I don't want to wait for my request for permission to be accepted? Think again, if I'm the modifier of this Royal Inspirat visual style, Inspirational Royale - I have hands on it already so it would be the members who doesn't want to wait and even that, they cannot remove resources showing signs of Inspirat living in my visual style as no-one (besides a friend) has a copy of it.

I don't want to waste the space of my inbox with requests so can you please request at my website: http://www.theblackcadillac.com/ with your email and I will hopefully get back to all the requests with the visual style. Private messages requesting this visual style will be ignored from now on.
