Windows X Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) I've promised you I'll release real Jade when I get real Jade resources. Now it's time to fulfil our promises. Here's real Jade but not as real as Longhorn. I've tuned them up a bit for suitable themes in my opinions and sure this looks much better than Longhorn ones (Ones that MS hasn't tuned for alpha theme). If you really want accurate Jade, search for Joni_78's theme in Neowin. Last update 12/11/2004 Version 3.0 -Changed name to Jade Style -Updated Captionbar to actual mode with gradient fixed -Updated menu color to better ones Version 2.0 -Fixed StartUserPanel transparency bug in real display -Updated Aero ToolBar Buttons -Updated shellstyle closer to screenshots -Updated StartUserPanel with Username on TopPanel -Updated TaskBandButton with Aero style -Updated TaskBandFlashButton with Aero style -Updated Taskbar background -Updated ToolBarBackground in Default mode Version 1.0 -First release from real optimized Jade resources Download Jade Edited November 12, 2004 by Windows X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omniiv Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 looks good. only thing I dont like about most of the longhorn themse are the buttons, taskbar, and start menu button. edit: one more thing that annoys me, how the common tasks is on top instead of the side. I know thats sort of how it is in Longhorn but it just doesnt work in XP. its not usable at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDYLOGO Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Is this a joke, you made another longhorn thread. There was already a thread on this, and if it was closed it should stay closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malisk Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I think it's one of the better LH styles, however I wish the gradients on the title buttons weren't as "aggressive" and there was at least a 5-10 pixel padding for the user name on the start menu. It's a bit too "slick" for my tastes. Anyway, this is just nitpicks for an overall pretty LH variation. Gotta love those menu highlights and buttons. :D Also avoiding a rather classic mistake with light styles where inactive title bar text is made hard to read.

Windows X Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 Yea. CaptionButton sucks. I've tried many ways to improve it and keep its original looks but that's far I can do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syndig Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 ehm...does it need some other program to work? I downloaded it and started the installer. When it was done it was supposed to change to this thing but mine looks just like before(windowsXP normal blue ****). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
