Longhorn PDC - Slate

@KyocEr@~*: You're welcome. :) I understand, if your computer craps out you might fail your exam, and that would suck big time.

BTW: Has anyone tried out my sidebar? Has anyone developed any tiles?

Hello memodude, I understand completely - but to me and people like Tai (and I'm sure, alot of others), we aren't sure what we are doing and we don't want to break our computer. Not all of us are that familiar nor are we that willing to risk breaking our computer when it could be as simple as just clicking a normal file that could be downloaded from themexp.org or something (but of course, you know that already - and I'm just stating it again, for the benefit of everyone else).

Thanks for your effort in typing out the DOS commands again, though! I just don't want to risk Windows dying with quite a few of my settings and my backup documents already in place (it's just too troublesome, and it's Uni exam period down in Sydney, so if I lose my Windows now - I may risk not being able to get to all my documents, or files may get corrupted or something... the Transformation Pack is too risky at this stage, for the novice user who just wants to click a theme, and change it).

Again, thanks for explaining, and I know, Windows X is under no compulsion/obligation to have to do anything for us. It's good to see he's moving on to more advanced stuff, although it does leave a few novice users behind. Sawadee Krap, Windows X!

You don't have to do any of that though; x said that if you check "don't change it" to everything it makes no changes except the theme.

Thanks. :D It'll be a while before I finish it, I want to make a big selection of modules, as well as put in module scrolling, a module gallery and web service, make the clock and weather work, add Longhorn-looking controls that appear when you mouse over the WMP, make it possible to load a file in WMP, etc. :p

I have something to ask you guys about my theme. Should I turn my shellstyle in PDC to XP ones for solving thumbnails problem?

No, because the thread was sinking and everybody would forget about it.

If you do, please keep for download a/the fixed size horizontal shellstyle. :) You mean filmstrip view, right?

[Windows X]

Yes. That's a bug and I can't solve it.

[dpanda]

i think the vertical side bar of the explorer should be thinner. the slate xp one. i dont really like the on the top horizontal one so i switched the shellstyle.dll

I know that the Start button is what most people dislike most about this theme...I saw the LH64 screenshots...well, see for yourself, they have a different start button:

that's the startbutton you'll get when the SideBar is disabled, the 32-bit version of LH 4051 has it too...

[Windows X]

I think plain white flag won't suite with Luna start button type.

*shrugs* I don't know, I'd never seen a screenshot of it, and I lack either (32 or 64 bit longhorn).
