You might want to post a full screenshot of the theme being used instead of these little sections of it.

Looks pretty good from the screencap but the download server is SOOO slow.

^Just thought I'd mention it because a lot of people want to see a screenshot before downloading anything

I'm using this and it seems fine. I took some pics with his recommended setting and the default glass coloring for all to see.

Recommended Maxed:


Recommended 2:



Default coloring:



edit: sorry, its maxglass and its hard to find which is which, i thought the first one was it. they both seem the same however. It is a good theme, get it and thanx for the skin mclaren2. I'll try and get some more screens
Winswy

Copy Animation and sidebar as it says in how to install:



The Sidebar doesn't look that much good but the skin is excellent. I got bored of the green progressbar. BTW in firefox using this theme, the browsing progress and download progressbars are green. Would you happen to know of a cure for that?

Isn't it much like using "Frost" on regular Aero Glass? Yes, Frost with a bit whiter taskbar.

Edit: Oh... Hmm, seems like the devil's in the details then, heh..

thanks for posting the screenshot, yep that's how it should look.
(new folderband, blue progressbars). it should work if you do what's written in the .txt file. (let me know if it doesn't)


rs mirror will coming soon.

looks great, just changing the green to blue.... its perfect for me thanks

when maximized the dream freezes in the back ground leaving a frozen snap of the titlebar because when maximized its still transparent and get to see a frozen snap of the dream file playing...

Its called a dock, kinda like how the mac os has it. I'm using a program called rocketdock which is freeware and it uses very little system resources. RocketDock HomePage

And here are 2 mirrors to the theme:

I love this, you've removed that ugly blue thing around the window, changed the transfer bar to blue smile.gif And increased transparency.

In my opinion I give it two thumbs up thumbs_up.gif - biggrin.gif - thumbs_up.gif

Hi all,
Nice style i downloaded and installed it, looks great.
I have a (probably very nooby) question however: How do you get the "os x style" taskbar to appear on your desktop (as shown in the screenshots). I'm runnin vista ultimate x64 (don't know if this has anything to do with it).
Thanks in advance for the replys!

i thought it was depending on the firefox screen itself? anyway ... i will check these days if i can fix it somehow ... smile.gif
mclaren2
my latest progress:




i made the taskbar a bit less transparent and you get the look which you can see in the screenshot without adjusting colorpres, means you won't lose any window-transparency.
mclaren2
for dl link check first posting. smile.gif
(i made a rs-mirror again)

Great theme. thumbs_up.gif
drumthrasher109
It doesn't look very much different than the regular Vista theme.

Thanks for alert !!!
mclaren2
uh what's the problem?

there is a txt file in the first .rar file, i decided to leave it out in the latest one because some steps have become obsolete and i thought everyone would know the rest.

here it is basically:

copy aerodiamond-folder (which contains aerodiamond.msstyles file and a folder "\shell\normalcolor\shellstyle.dll) to %windir%\ressources\themes

doubleclick on aerodiamond.msstyles new window will appear, try to chose first "aero" style in the list (not the 2nd one selected by default) - if it doesn't work, chose the 2nd one (selected by default)

you'll find the wallpaper in the aerodiamond0_3.rar btw.

I've put the folder AeroDiamond in C:\Windows\Ressources\ and double clicked the .msstyle but still only see one Windows Aero in that list. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

did you patch vista for using customized visual styles?

Quote -

the taskbar should change the color/style as it does here and for many others (hopefully whistle.gif ). the sidebar style can only be changed due an extra style - which comes with the first aerodiamond.rar and i added an extra dl link today so you can just grab the sidebar skin there.
