Longhorn "Glass"

[A.K.R.]

In more detail please?

[A.K.R.]

Still nothing? Please?

[schaggo]

most of the people that took part in the discussion/flame war/whatever think that the autor of this thread posted photoshopped (eg. edited) screenshots of a Longhorn alpha/beta and he made us believe that this, what he shows off, is actually a Windows XP theme he is working on. he promised several releases and gave several release dates but never delivered anything.

I think, this thread can be labeled "dead" or, even better: "$hit never dies - this thread will stink forever"

@mods: is '$hit' a language filter workaround? if it is so, please edit...

I'm starting to get sick of this thread. I agree with everybody who says is should be removed. If Digital Freedom were ever to finish this VS, I think it would be listed in the releases section. It would appear the whole thing is a huge discussion on whether or not this is a visual style or not... so it's useless.

DELETE IT! :no:

But I heard that Windows X is going to make a visual style based on the screenshots?

Just don't read this thread anymore, stop whining...

:cry: Just my opinion...

OK, OK.

Radish?b>? Please come in. You know what to do.*Points at lock and key*i>

[A.K.R.]

I have a new idea.

I will be contacting Windows X, KoL, and stefanka and see if they can collabrate with each other and make a XP theme based on the screenshots. If I'm not wrong, the theme is based on the windows in the "Longhorn" PDC video. I showed the key frames below. The transparency can be added by a third-party program like Glass2K or WinFX. However, I think it will look good without transparency too. I may be creating a new thread for this, as this thread as been filled with so much hatred and flames.

see here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/9380004/

basically it's Longhorn Athens with transparency or am I wrong?

Edit: I was talking about the first screenshots presented in this thread...

[Windows X]

Something like this? From screenshot, it's plain white with high transparemcy effects from Aero and it's impossible to make it looks like that for XP.

anyone know if theres a black longhorn theme (msstyle) based off KoLs white is great for only so long.

[Windows X]

Or this?

Notes:

These visual styles from screenshot was made for long time ago before posting in this thread. Just wanna share something you may want to see.

I don't know is it what you're looking for but this is my own black theme.

lol. WTF happened in here? :laugh:

We are thinking of bringing this theme back to life after I discovered that the "Longhorn" video contains several windows which look like this mockup.

[A.K.R.]

I think I will foget about contacting KoL and stefanka, after all. However, I think I will continue to keep in touch with Windows X on this.

Back to the topic: Windows X, can you make the caption bar appear smooth and flat, just like in the video grabs and the earlier mockups? It could look closer that way.

What are you talking about?? Kol made a whole set of Longhorn themes. You will never get anything near the mockups on the first page with Windows XP... :wacko:

Cool, it's good to hear this theme is being brought back from the grave. Hope everything goes well with it all and i'll be keeping an eye out for this.

Cheers.

sweet, i have always loved that video and that theme. Windows x, and akr, if u do this, will u make the seperators in the toolbar transparent so one can move the fav and search icons to the right while the back and forward are on the left like in longhorn? also windows x, are your themes in the new trans pack 6 already like this with the transparent seperators? if not will they be in pack 7? (No one replied to my questions in the lhtrans pack 6 thread so i thought i would mention it here since its kinda on topic, lol) hope u guys pull this off cause its a sweet theme!

In which theme? Please specify.

From my knowledge, making fav and search on right can be done by make all buttons except things we want in shell32.dll transparent and that's unacceptable for me. About theme, yes. It'll be included in LTP7 which is much smaller than previous version.

:omg: that's such a cool looking VS - is it going to be available soon?

[A.K.R.]

Windows X, I was talking about the one in this screenshot: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...st&id=584378129

Notice that there's some 3D "bumps" on the titlebar? If it looked completely flat, it would look closer to the one in the mockup on the first page and the windows in the "Longhorn" video.

If you mean that, how about the first one? Or you likr darker ones like second shot?
