Crystal Slate

[cpu killer]

Hey, this is my first visual style- work is based on original SLATE theme from Microsoft Windows Lognhorn, its pretty much just a crystal colored version with a little of the aero-keynote color variations on the taskbar - originally a theme I was going to make for myself, it came out so good I said "Hey, why not release this?".

The theme looks superb when using glass2k: http://www.chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml

For transparency effects on windows, and specially the taskbar - I dont reccomend you use it without them, looks so much better ;).

Here are some screenshots:

Ol?, cpu killer

Bom tema, bem conseguido, parab?ns !!!);)

Na vers?o pt do windows xp parece que o final da palavra "Iniciar" ainda aparece no bot?o.

Se puderes arranjar isso era optimo ....

Obrigado,

Really nice VS dude!

Quick question: is the longhorn-style clock you have in the screenshot a part of the VS, or is it a separate program? If so, what program are you using to format the clock to that style?

== Sure, I will look into it - but remember, I'm still new to stylebuilder so not sure how long it will take to figure i;)out ;).

Any guides on making that compact menu ? And I'll look into a thinner ta:)bar :).

Thanks for the comments guys!

[FocusX]

[Cool4]

congratulations Cpukiller, this is really good, great, i love it! i'm using it :D

[Stingray]

Parab?ns! Bonita varia??o.

(congrats, nice variation)

[mswarts]

I like it, except for the fact I don't like the Start button (but that's not your fault). Also, you have a strange idea about what colour a crystal is.

But still, one of the better Slates

[havyn]

this is just nice work...very professional. i like it. :D

[Flash]

Is it possible to uh.. not have the blue in the startmenu? doesn't really fit with everything else. I'd also like a compact startmenu without the big user picture although i have no idea where to make a compact startmenu in the first place :pinch:

[insanekiwi]

very nice. altho the startbutton from slate looks so damm crappy :( but hey, it looks crappy in every released slate theme.

[breakfastclub]

Fantastic, great VS !
