Windows X Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 About new font, please list it and I'll ask my friend to get it. Release? I haven't tried real OS yet so I might lose something. Perhaps a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyglass Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 This is not aero. "The Gates keynote is over. Nothing dramatic over my ealier preview. However, I'd like to highlight one very important fact you'll not find out about elsewhere: That Longhorn UI that was shown off today was not the final UI, which will be much more impressive. We'll see that at the PDC this September, I'm told." http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthu...rott_46166.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows X Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 I don't know but Theme name is "Aero style" and that's real name from 5048. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
]EGG[ Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Windows X - always liked your themes but could you P L E A S E change the flag in the start button to make it look like the proper white one as shown in this desktop shot: https://www.neowin.net/staff/creamhackered/...048/desktop.PNG Be better to have it look more authentic me thinks! Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Looks like this is the original theme before designer screwed it with dirty grey. ]EGG[, flag depends on explorer.exe file now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
]EGG[ Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Prefer the lighter grey theme myself, probably easier to find matching MSN and Winamp skins etc to go with it. Would still like to see the white flag on the start button implemented as standard though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannlich Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 any chance of releasing a beta of this theme? looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chsoriano Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'd be interested in testing it also, even though it's not complete, it looks very nice, and I am unsure about wanting to install the actual 5048 build on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danniboi Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Looks really nice as always Windows X :yes: Feel free to release a beta, I'd be happy to test things out for you. Keep up the excelent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chsoriano Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well, I'm gonna install LH5048, but still can't wait for this visual style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TierOne Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hmm, the Longhorn 5048 theme really appealed to me for some reason. I've got this theme bookmarked. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted April 27, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2005 ^ Same here. Damn.. Windows X, you're fast. I couldn't believe myself when I saw the screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris123NT Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Good start, although it would be much more effective to use the images right out of Longhorn. The start button looks different and so does some of the other minor elements of the theme (Font color etc...) Other than that, good stuff.

Windows X Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 yup. that's why I put beta in and wait for someone to guide me how to correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache-User Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 ok windowsX trying to give u a litle hand here.. 1. the colors need to be fixed needs to bee all in the lite gray not the darker 2. startbutton the flag needs to be white 3. needs a shellstyle that aligns to the bottom of the explorer windows think the 3 points are the major things that need to be done for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFighter Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Wouldn't it be a able to recreate that 5048 toolbar using the program Styler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
]EGG[ Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Totally agree with Apache-User, did point out the need for the light grey colour and start button issues earlier too also ;) Really hoping to seeing an update with these changes in please Windows X :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 thanks for suggestion 1. the colors need to be fixed needs to bee all in the lite gray not the darker <--- there's problem with inactive windows, imagine the same thing as Slate and wait for Aero Style (WinHEC) VS lol... 2. startbutton the flag needs to be white <--- This time it's not full picture startbutton. flag and text depends on OS so you can mod explorer.exe file to get that flag 3. needs a shellstyle that aligns to the bottom of the explorer windows <--- will do ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firecracker6 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 if you're going to place the shellstyle on the bottom, could you please restore the capability to view previews of a file there? With recent shellstyle mods that place the shellstyle horizontally, that's a functional loss which is difficult to accept sometimes :( Anyways, even if you were not to do this request, could you atleast tell me if it could be done?

BMac Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I think aero would look better if it "lost some weight". Hey Windows X could you make a version with a thin taskbar, thin caption bars and compact start menu. I really think this would be a good style if it were on a diet.
