Aero 5203 release

[leonx81]

This is a really nice theme, I like it!

thanks alot, keep up your good work.

to fix font problems, open the VS *Display Properties*

From Appearance Tab, Open 'Advanced' Settings

and change the menu and message box text colors to 115,115,115

meaning Red 115, Blue 115 and Green 115

And black on black font problem should disappear

This is a great start! Looks better than any other Aero VS I've tried out ...

Keep up the good work! :D

Firefox has always been the problem with a lot of (dark) themes, I'm currently looking after a good firefox themer that would make one to go along with the general look of the theme, toolbar included, other then that I've tried Longone104 from Lynchknot in it and it looks pretty good too.

Now to clear that little debate that went out about Me and KoL doing the same, I have released this yesterday long before the wip of KoL starts, and as the admin of AeroXP, I've seen a lot of things about Longhorn and trust me, this is the more accurate Aero style of this build 5203 you can get 'cos for the non-trans (AeroGlass) window, the main color is midnight blue, cross my heartand hope to die if I lie. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that if the roles would have been inversed I would have been accused of ripping other people's work but here, no, it's not the case and I don't take anyone for granted for that, except maybe Amsterdam who actually tried in the actual position, lol.

Jemaho relax dude its an excellent theme, in fact Microsoft should be paying you for making there blah theme look all that much more sharper. As for firefox look at Saferfox Expanded theme, it compliments your's nicely.

Hey J-M,

Always a pleasure to chat with you, and I'm pleased that you will have some 'new techy toy files' to play with in the near future...

As I told you, I have switched back to my beloved OSX_ALH_LH_Inspirat based lighter themes, but will definately keep this nice work on my HD for future use...

Regards my friend...

:cool:

This is a good style and everything but...how exactly is this a "AERO" style? :huh:

[jemaho]

Because it's what m$ calls it even in it's non- glass form.

Thats great mate, you know how to change the font though?

[King Trode]

The titlebar text just doesn't capture the true Longhorn feeling for some reason. Great work regardless though nice job. :yes:

[devyant]

Woot, 2 of 5023 styles in a day. Good job anyway :)

[Tuco]

Nice work, a veyy usable dark theme :)

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

Keep up the amazing work (Y)

Liking this theme, its fast and trendy :)

This theme is excellent!! For the whole Firefox trouble, I just stick with Noia Extreme. ;) I did notice two bugs, though. Maybe it's just that I'm doing something wrong...? The start button is not like the preview (nice and smooth, well done), it is chopped! :( Even more, the fonts are different than the preview jpg...? Also, photoshop is causing trouble once again, but that is not a real problem, just a little bug that doesn't need to be fixed. Oh, the start menu is also chopped on the right when using the "CM" substyles... Although those bugs are present, I'm still using this, because it is so nice! :D

Photoshop trouble is caused by the fact that this time the caption buttons are real and not bitmaps drawed on the caption bar, for them to look the way they are on the caption bar I had to use a trick that use negative borders (also used by KoL after that) and this cause the bug in photoshop.

For the font, do you have SegoeUI font installed?

For the CM startmenu, I made this as a request for ppl and honestly didn't dig too much in it, will correct that for the next release.

As for the starbutton, it's the first time i see this bug and have no clue now what might cause it.

No "biggie" with the photoshop bug. Those buttons came out too nice to mess with them just for photoshop. :) Hmmm...so the startbutton bug in the Thin Taskbar substyle is a problem on my computer.... Maybe I'll go and mess around with settings later. :yes:

[NemesisNG]

Just to add to the above post, my start button also is chopped off exactly the same and not rounded with this theme. So not just an isolated incident to one person.

I'll seek what might cause this startbutton problem, is it only in the thin taskbar version or in both version of the taskbar?
