I'm still not liking the common task thing....... it's too bubbleish for me.

I like Isakowski's

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

eh but the bubble thing was part of the aero glass theme. Its done that way to match the caption bar and the task bar. Its how it was done in the aero video. Im pretty sure this is being done as a replica of the video so that would fit in. But it is his theme so whatever he wants to do is what goes. But i like the aero glass thing goin on in the common task thing. Maybe he will make an alternate version of it for the final...

[Illusion456]

Well, the theme is supposed to have a "glass" like look.. so I think I'll leave them the way they are for now. You can always go in and mod it however ya want, and maybe later I'll update it with something different.

I think its ready though, so I'm gonna upload it now :)

here's Illusion456 with my setup :) notice all the nice longhorn folders (shell32.dll hack by me)

only things i dont like, taskbar too big (thinner version needed) if you resize the active titlebar (where it says my computer in the middle) and make the text smaller/bigger, the mix/max butons get distorted

[Illusion456]

I might make a thinner taskbar version later, for now though I was just going to match the "aero" files found in 4074, and it is the same size as slate as well. Making it any smaller would make it not even with the full size start button unless you resized it as well. The problem with the caption bar, does it just happen with the black caption buttons? I'm not quite sure what do you mean by resizing the active title bar and making the text smaller.. but keep in mind the only way to do those black buttons is to draw them on the caption bar itself otherwise you'll get nasty spaces between them, so that is bound to cause some problems along the way so thats why there are the normal buttons. I'll see if I can fix the problem though if you can tell me how to recreate it.

does it in both aero and aero2

Display properties > appearance >advanced > under item :active title bar > click a tahome (default type) change size to 8 or high er then 9

Ouch :o I see it now lol .. I know what is causing it though so I'll go fix that now.. will release it once I work out the bugs. :blink:

I use YZ Shadow for the shadows.. it doesnt seem to mess with system responsivness that much, I only notice it if I have a lot of memory hungry apps open.

[Illusion456]

Well that wasn't it. I'm gonna go ahead and release it though because if I work on it any longer I'm gonna get burned out and not want to finish it later. :blink: Check the Works inprogress if you want it.
