It should show up in the list on the appearance page of Display Properties (you may need to close Display Properties and open it again to refresh the list). If it doesn't show up make sure you have a recent version of the 'patched' uxtheme dll. People have had problems before when using an old version.

WOW !!! I love this visual style !!!!

It's so smooth !!

I don't know if it's a bug but, with the google toolbar the buttons are not aligned

It should look like "this", i think :

Technically it is a bug due to the smaller than 'normal' toolbar buttons. The problem is that the google toolbar doesn't use the content margins for the various items quite how it should. I don't plan on releasing a version with a 'fix' since that would mean making the toolbar buttons in every other app bigger again. Having said that it's easy enough to change by opening up the ini files if you want to do so yourself. The values you need to change are the top and bottom content margins for the toolbar (last two values). I'd suggest using a value of 4 for both.

Hmmm....is there a Trillian Pro 2 Skin in the works?

I'm afraid that's not even on the list. If anyone else wants to give a shot - go for it, just let me take a look before you release.

For those that mentioned colours first on the list would have to be teal/tan after that would probably be grey and red. These are not going to happen very soon though as I have a lot of other things to be doing at the moment so don't hold your breath. I also reserve the right to deny that I even said I would consider them if anyone asks!

I tried to edit the visual style with ResHacker, I found the values to change, but I wasn't able to change them. I looked into the everaldo 2 theme (the second screenshot, in my previous post), and there's no ContentMargin value in the toolbar section of the ini.

Any Idea ? I love your theme, and I would like to see this problem fixed.

Just mirror the settings in the Everaldo VS (if there isn't a content margin set take it out and vice versa).

This is honestly the best Visual Style I have ever used..and I go through them alot, but I am for sure keeping this one, for a long time, or until you put out another good one...I hope someone makes a Trillian Pro 2 Skin, that would so rock with this theme..I am using the Winamp skin also..this is really some eye candy,

Thank you..! :D

I tried to change it using PE Resource Explorer, but after the changes, I've got an error when I try to use it :(

Please, telle me which app to use, or could you do this for me ?

I've made a colortheme for winamp 5 ;) :cool:

styleshot.jpg

To install just extract the attached .zip file (contains a .xml file) to:

C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes\Winamp Modern

(Where "C:\Program Files\Winamp" is your winamp install directory)

Please reply if this doesn't work... :blush:

Also @ author of velvet waves, please pm me if you don't want this distributed, as you will see if you open the xml, you are properly credited in the comment field. :)

Theme Request:

Any chance of a better looking start button when using the theme with a vertical taskbar? Maby a button similar to the taskbuttons?

Im not expecting the wave idea to be executed in vertical mode, but something that looks a bit cleaner than the cut of wave would be nice. (Not sure if it can be done, but as far as i remember from my attemts at making msstyles it should be...) :unsure:

EDIT:

looks sweet Dipso !!

Glad you liked it, did you use my install method? As i haven't tested that method on my system yet.

EDIT 2:

As someone mentioned earlyer, a trillian skin would be awsome, as thats all thats missing from completing my desktop.

EDIT 3: :rolleyes:

Heres a screenshot illustrating the problem, and my sweet desktop ;)

EDIT 4: :blush: (Last one, I swear!)

Incase it makes a differance im using STYLEXP, so if that is the cause of my problems (Shouldn't be) just give a shout. ;)

    • Yes I agree, it's annoying. You can now miss tabs unless you point low enough.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
