I thought you loved Windows Vista:

Windows Vista is 'Half Baked' Poll

Windows Vista is 'Half Baked' Poll

How very confusing.

Firefox - You're welcome to make a matching theme. No permission needed laugh.gif
Icons - Vista Inspirate for Icon Packager.

That's an excellent theme. Good job smile.gif.

Honestly, your layout is probably the nicest I've ever seen on XP.

Why has making VS'es become making a whole suite of bull****?
You can barely find a new VS that does not require you to use a heapload of extra useless apps >_>
and if they don't, they are mostly works of

Nevermind, I just realized there is no Firefox theme to that. tongue.gif

Can someone mind explaining to me what Snake78 and Color Pad do?
shift.
The theme looks perfectly fine without the extra apps. =\

Snake is a really old game, but I removed it from the download to make it smaller for peeps with low bandwidth. Color pad is an app that helps pick up colors values from your screen. Do you ever read the readmes? I usually put them in there for a reason tongue.gif

That's very beautiful, but I have one problem with it, which actually is the deal-breaker for me. I don't like that the minimize and maximize buttons don't have a default state (ie are invisible until you roll over them).

I know it may seem like a small thing to some people, but it's nice for me to see, even on a minimalistic theme. So if you ever release a version with those two buttons visible always, you'll have my gratitude (shouldn't be too hard right?tongue.gif)

Still, very nice, simple and aesthetically pleasing theme. Good work.

I noticed the Orange theme doesn't have the same Start Menu button as the Blue and Green one? I'd like to have the Orange start button too.

Thanks. Id like to oblige but I want this theme to be different from the others I made so no max/min buttons. Try the others in my gallery if you like smile.gif
Or, if you're of the mind to, its a relatively simple job to edit the bitmaps using stylebuilder. Or reshacker or something like that, though I havent tried that software.

His anger is not unjustified. But moving on, I noticed the Orange theme doesn't have the same Start Menu button as the Blue and Green one? I'd like to have the Orange start button too.

Yea, it has a diff button for a reason, orange looks yucky in that square shape. Anyway, Ive updated with a new text start button, but replace your copy only if you like the new one. smile.gif

Just a general note to everybody using this theme. If you have a question of a comment, its better to leave one on my DA page because I dont chec here very often.

The problem I have with this post is that you talk without even trying out the visual style. If you'd tried it out first or knew anything about visual styles, you'd know that this VS does not require you to install any extra or external application at all.

The other applications are very commonly used programs - Winamp, Colorpad, Miranda etc and I skinned them to provide continuity.

Can anyone help me with the foobar theme? It works, it looks amazing, but when I close it, it crashes, and a text document opens that says "foobar error code.." with a million things in it.

maybe I have the wrong version.
