Longhorn "Glass"

[macmax]

hey bro ... no hard feeling's huh .... i was straight in wht i felt dint use any profarnity language's nor did i flame u ok .... I just felt that u should release it seperately rather than bundling like Microsoft does .....

[Windows X]

I said I'll release it after pack seperately. Get it?

[macmax]

I wud prefer the 1st one cos glass transperancy look's much better than any other thing.

WIndowsx , u should really brush up on your english bro, you come across as very rude.

or maybe ur just very rude.

Ok, I'm sure you're all sick of this thread,

But it's the first time I've read it,

And after filtering 9 pages of flames and misconceptions :lol:

I am largely confused,

Now I understand that transperency effects can only be managed by a thrid party system.

However, I was wondering is it possible for a theme to intergrate both translucent and opaque textures.

Such as the central windows be opaque and the borders be translucent.... Possibly by a cuztomized transparency program,

Because from the 3rd party programs i know, they make everything transparent

Thanks in advance for respondos

It's the same resources. Only one difference is transparency level. Mine is 60% and DF's is 80% Here's 80%

I'm not a rude guy. Please believe in me. Perhaps a bit too short and straight post makes me look rude. I'll try making more effort with it.

yeah WindowsX it look's gud .... but glass transperancy is still better ..... nothing can be compared to a glass transperancy ..... dont u think ?

I wud just suggest you to include the glass transperancy in ur LTP7 ..... like BlackICE is making

Aero Glassbar

[javagreen]

When is the release?

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

when ltp7 comes out and then seperatly after its release

I agree but BlackICE's project is just putting trans taskbar over background (Which works only on one resolution and one wallpaper) I prefer my own glass taskbar.

[macmax]

so why not make a glass transperancy theme so tat it might work on all resolution's ?

i bet anyone wud go for a glass transperancy than anything else

This is what you need for functional transparency at it's current *best* on WindowsXP:

Nexplorer 1.87 File manager with Aero Glass or Jade Glass skin (search Neowin)

AveIcon & Iconbook with Aero Glass skin (search AquaSoft - boards are down, search still works) Stefankas Iconbook skin works for both apps

AveText with Longhorn Aero skin (search AquaSoft)

AveDesk 1.1 with Aero Glass suite (search AquaSoft) includes note, iTunes mini player and FTP drop skins

Winamp 5.0 with Stefankas Sprite skin (search Neowin)

Now, does anyone have a screenshot of the sticky app I saw running on Longhorn last week? I dont know if the screen I saw was 3rd party or a built in app... I want to recreate this sticky note for WinXP.

DZ: what app is used for the transparency?

windows fx or glass2k << search in yahoo

[deadzombie]

NO! If I was using those apps I would have listed them!

The apps are listed in the above post, the transparency is in each skin. If I have time tomorrow (Im working on getting Aero-Soft.com up and running), I'll hunt down specific links for each app and skin (using the criteria I already provided).

Seek and ye shall find guys. All the info you need is there already.

[deadzombie]

Ok, I have a little time, I'll do this now:

Aero Glass Nexplorer skin & Nexplorer 1.87

AveDesk 1.1 (You will still need to search this section of Aqua-Soft for individual desklet updates.:::Aero Glass Suite, pt.1 for AveDesk 1.1 (Instructions provided in .txt file)

Ave Iconbook, AveText & AveIconverter ::: Longhorn Aero skin for Avetext, iconbook Longhorn skin (works for Iconbook & Iconvertor

My Object Dock skin is unreleased (and has been updated since this screen).

This is all you need to have the same screen I have above. No Glass2k or any of that other blanket transparency garbage.

Remember, this is still a new style. Improvements are being made on the 'glass look' daily... hopefully everyone that is working on these types of skins will get them standardized to the actual Longhorn look within the next few weeks.

very cool. Quick question.. does only the apps in your SS have the transparency or does everything, including apps like IE etc?

Only the apps in the screenshot.

Nexplorer is actually a decent file manager. It has a few quirks that take a little time getting used to, but its good for file manipulation. Pane view is very nice.

AveText is a good enough text app for me.

AveDesk 1.1's FTp drop is invaluable.

The only thing I really dont have thats transparent that I use alot is a browser...

[am7]

cool, thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

[Brodel]

no prob. u need anymore i have most of them from longhorn (my fav is the close up on the grass :D)

oh yea, do you think i could have that one too please?

[Fonzie]

to all of you wanting the Longhorn 4074 wallpapers; get the Longhorn-msstyle KoL did. It's on DeviantArt somewhere.

[emjayel206]

Isn't the whole idea now to have the start button solid with the rest glassy with

the text and taskbar icons visible??
