I got this background somewhere on this board.  I don't remember who did it either, but this looks like what you want.

I'm loving this kit. Takes some more time to install and configure but still I think it's better than that Longhorn Transformation Pack. Instead of the firefox theme that came with it I chose the Saferfox Xpanded theme (with small icons!) because the toolbar alignment of the LhA themes bugged me. Installed the Simplex icon set too, instead of the default set.

Lookin' good. biggrin.gif

Nice Job thumbs_up.gif

Does anyone [including the authors of the great VS included here] know how to fix the gradient bug when the window is maximised? It is keeping me from using many good skins, like this one, many longhorns, various versions of inspirat. It's not horrific, but it's like a speck on your car's paint job, just eye-catching. I used to think it was just a Windows problem, but I have noticed that it doesn't happen on my friend's laptop with Royale Inspirat, though it happens on mine. She has 1024 resolution, while I have 1680 wide res. Does that have anything to do with it? I noticed that OldeCrow had fixed it on his Aero theme, and that Brushed Inspirat does not have it either. If it is fixable, can the authors do a fix, or someone mod it quick and send it to me. If it can't, educate me a bit more on why it's like that, maybe it's my setup. Thanks a lot guys.

Looks great, downloading right now.

I can safely say that this is the first Longhorn theme that I have used and liked using. I will continue using this for a long time to come.

I love the Normal style, and I am using it with a full start menu. I am also using the Firefox theme.

Thank you. smile.gif

Bah, my dark firefox skin doesn't work - It just turns to the light one, and also my Bookmark toolbar is at the top

i'd love to use it but it doesn't work with my Tabbrowser Extensions, i think.

I would like to use this theme in a compact start menu form, but I can't seem to pick the right one. Can anyone help me out? I'm using the "default" color.

Also, is there anyway to force the commonly used links in folders to the side rather than having it on top? This section is the "file and folder tasks".

Thanks a lot.

First:
This theme does not have a compact start menu

Second:
Files and Folder position are determined by the shellstyle of theme and this themes shellstyle dictates the view to be horizontal-top. Now if you want it vertical-side find a theme that has that shellstyle, copy or move the shellstyle.dll and paste or put it in the Longhorn Alternative, Shell folder. You will be overwriting the orignal shellstyle just for your FYI.

Thanks for the help. I thought it had a compact menu judging from the preview picture linked in the first post. Guess not though...

Thanks again.

It does have a compact start menu. And very pretty it is too.

When choosing your colour theme, select the style with the 48px or 64px suffix, depending on your icon size. Basically, try one, and if the icons don't fit, try the other. Then enjoy your compact menu.



I'm liking the Objects Pre-release a lot.

Wow this is really nice..

A Winamp skin would be superb and would make this suite complete!

yeah, i'm currently using stefenka's stuff but i'd rather use a classic skin rather than the modern ones. anyone got ideas of something that would look good?

Wow. This is a great skin. It's even got me to switch back across to firefox..

When I loaded it I also decided it was time to clean up my workflow - desktop is now pretty much clean, object dock has now found a good use - i use it mainly as a quick shortcut bar to downloads and various places in my docs.

Mmm few other changes as well - hopefully saves me from the folder hell i was living in.

Nice job! Cant wait to see the rest of the icons that go with it.

Currently things are all over the place. Lol

looks very nice, going to try soon, thx very much for your hard work smile.gif

There's like a billion longhorn themes out there, but none are put together like this one here. Why can't every theme include everything needed like this, for instance Icons, Yz stuff, Winamp theme ETC. Cool beanz.
ChelNam Guerrilla
Can someone give me a working link to Yz Toolbar????

i think trillian and winamp skins are very much needed. I just found this today. It feels like just what iv been looking for.
