-hurley18 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) Is that a longhorn build screenshot or is that your visual style? If that's your visual style (updated) can we get that updated version with a shellstyle? And is that Codename Dashboard? 585838743[/snapback] it must be the visual style cause they remove the sidebar from the last longhorn build Edited April 27, 2005 by )(RockerBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 That's my VS with lame shellstyle (still need lots more works) and running my own SideBar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache-User Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 windows X pls strip the shellstyle seems way to big and to much just keep it basic cut the details.... and maybe try to get it working like in 5048 with a link to show all details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chsoriano Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That would be pretty nifty... but I don't know if he will be able to create something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chsoriano Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Off Topic: I am going to install LH5048 on my primary laptop (I was going to reformat it anyway) Should I install 5048 first and then install windows xp pro? How should I do this... I was thinking about creating two partitions, one for Longhorn, about 8gb, and then using the rest of the HDD for windowsXP, what should I do? EDIT: I guess I'm assuming someone here has installed this new build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberry Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 WindowsX the name of the wallpaper is "Bliss" too, it's no mistake it's the same name as the old one...but in the web folder of windows it's BMP extension, the other one is jpeg...strange usage to me...

NemesisNG Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Bliss? thats weird 585839562[/snapback] Not really mate, every build of longhorn I've seen so far has had bliss as the name of the build specific wallpaper.

Mateus-ES Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 WindowX, I can't open zip file... Windows says "corrupted", I tried do unlock the zip protection but no reason here. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Apache-User, I've tried so far and found it's impossible. all I can do is just controlling layout. Chsoriano, install XP, boot to DOS, set main boot drive to blank LH drive, restart, boot LH CD, install LH, boot to DOS again and set main boot drive to XP, edit boot.ini with LH drive line and if it doesn't work, you can use boot manager. GCNaddict, he gave me resources to make VS so it's obivious that he will make it too. Mateus-ES, rename the extensio to rar and open it. shellstyle is not ready so I can't add it and which milestone this build is, M9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NienorGT Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hey, WinX. It's look nice. When you will get the shellstyle? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NienorGT Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Thank you mate :) without offence, I don't love really the visual style (Becuz that the MS one suck from the start) But the ShellStyle Rock so mush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firecracker6 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 @ WindowsX, you know the regular Horiz. shellstyle on the top that reduces functionality strictly to "tasks"? Is there any way to split the shellstyle to a narrower version of the top "tasks" shellstyle and in addition, have the other bottom component of the shellstyle strictly present the user with the "details" view... hopefully eliminating layout scrollbar issues? Just wishful thinking but probably impossible no? Great work thusfar, thank you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 You can do only controlling layout of shellstyle not touching its program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chsoriano Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 So is the shell style included in the pack now? Or the final isn't done yet... I downloaded the Aero style from oldecrow, but I didn't like it... mainly for one reason: an inactive title bar for a window is not the same as the active, which kind of throws the theme off.

Apache-User Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 me still thinks the shellstyle is to big looks kind a messy to :blush: X u should include a minimum one in the pack for people that dont like the big one.. u can use my file that i gave u erlyer today... final theme should look some like this :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
