Longhorn 4074 "Aero" Theme

[Memphis]

Ive spent the last hour or too messing around with imageres.dll and finally got it looking pretty nice :D . Since alot of people donte have the time to edit the dll file themselves ive made a package with it already modified. Screenshot below.

forlonghorn by the looks of it

[Memphis]

This is for longhorn, I used the aero images from longhorns dll's to make it look more like it did at PDC.

Heres what i got so far in skinning explorer, any suggestions would be appreciated.

linuxbrain: Longhorn isn't a publicly distributed OS, it is in alpha stage and this particular version (4074) is only available to those who attended WinHEC, or have an MSDN subscription

.

Ofcourse, as all things on the internet, there are "alternate" means of acquiring them, which arent hard to spot at all - unfortunately, cant talk about that on neowin, so just check out google.

Good luck :).

[Memphis]

Skinning Longhorn is turning out to be a bitch, this will probly take me a while.

maybe something like this?

[REQUEST]: ok since its all pngs could i request a degree of transparency to all the controls and border except the inner content so then it would be transparent like the achlin aero demos (if you seen these winhec screenshots you know exactly what im requesting) do this with what you got in the pictures and that will be looking like a godsend. DO this and you will have pretty much made aero.
