This IS the best Longhorn theme on the whole web!

[GungaDin19]

Is it just me or does the link to the theme not work at all? I've tried "Save As" and even Flashget......still no worky :unsure:

[Argi]

Yea, i think the link is down atm

[Tsumana]

I tried regular d/l and FlashGet, neither worked. Downloaded just fine in Firefox though.

Damn I love this theme... :cool:

Sorry about that, the host server must be having problems at the moment. I put up a mirror though, but please only use the mirror if the top download link doesnt work, I cant use much bandwidth on that host :rolleyes:

Glad you guys like it :)

thanks for that!!... but, i get a corrupt archive from that link?! :blink:

[SioPao]

let me check it, one sec

edit: ya, the original i got off the first posted link was corrupt, didn't bother checking since I'm at work. If anyone else has a working copy of that I can host it.

Ick. Can it get any worse?

Why don't Microsoft consider making an OS that works instead of one that is overly hardware intensive.

[lnmnky]

Is the desktop sidebar the exact same one from www.desktopsidebar.com? There are many versions floating about so wanted to double check.

huh? :unsure:

[SioPao]

huh? :unsure:

random comment about how resource intensive longhorn will be ? not really pertaining to the themes here though..

[ZombieFly]

lol.. glad it wasnt just me that couldnt make any sense of the comment.

the new longhorn themes will be hardware sensitive apparently, i.e. if you have a capable graphics card then you'll get all the transparent features etc. If not, you get a basic, low resource using desktop?

...anyway, love the aero theme, just need my desktop sidebar to look the same now ;) :rofl:

[mphilmon]

... been following this thread since last night.... and I really love your effort here. I'm using it right now. Thanks!

and yes, that is the desktop sidebar from www.desktopsidebar.com

[Buzz99]

Theme is great !!!!

One thing only bothers me, the start button is the size of a "start" text

(for english version of windows) but on my french version it looks like that.

I dunno but in some other vs , the start button look ok, so is there anything to do ?

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

Just got home and its sweet man. I love it so much. No complaints at all!!! I especially love the buttons, hehe. So how would u like to do a skin to match this for trillian, hehe?

[Illusion456]

I was a little worried that no one would like it.. guess I had been working on it too long because at first it looked really cool, but by the time I released it it was looking pretty dull to me lol. Glad everyone seems to like it though.

Yes that is desktop sidebar from desktopsidebar.com .. and I will be updating that "Aero" skin probably on and off for awhile as the one I have up there now was thrown together really quickly. So if you downloaded it already, check back for updates soon!

buzz99 : I think thats happening with your start button because I set it to show the true size of the image file that I ripped out of longhorn rather than stretch it. I'm not sure really, if you know how to mod you could just go in with stylebuilder and adjust the start button settings until you get it to show up normal on your version. I dont have a french version of XP to try it on to fix up for you. Sorry about that :huh:

Thanks for mirroring those files SioPao :D

MonkeyClaw: I dont use trillian, so I dont really know a thing about skinning it.. this might be a good time for you to learn skinning, so how would YOU like to do a skin to match this for trillian? lol :p
