Believe it or not thosse are the radio buttons from Longhorn. I'll try to make the more clean.

Thanks for reporting the bugs :)

[DigitalE]

Very nice.

I like it

Question: Is the light blue mixed with grey on the menu bar supposed to be like that?

Example open up My Computer and look at the color differences on the menubar

[Malisk]

I have a bit of a trouble with the title bar text. :unsure:

Other than that I like it better than most LH themes! :D

To solve the title bar text issue for some users like me, I'd prefer a version that stayed even more truthful to the original with light grey titlebars (maybe basically "milky white" bars would look best in this case; your glossy thing on the bars look great btw!), maroon title bar text, having a silver highlight. With title bar buttons styled similar to 5203's.

To summarize, it would be awesome with a style as polished and pretty as this one but a kind of "5203 Classic" look, color-wise! :)

(I have nothing at all to remark on the design itself, it's all gravy :happy: )

Will probably still try it out for a while though. :)

I dont see anything wrong. All the toolbar is blue. except the inactive elements.

The original titlebar color is not light grey, is transparent (when the transparency is not applied I think is black or dark grey) and the title bar text is blue not maroon.

@ spyglass: I cant fix the group menu bug, I dont know how. :wacko:

[klop]

:o Wow this is by far the best Longhorn VS I ever seen!

I found some small bugs... Maybe you can't fix them.

You can move windows with the minimize button. If you position your mouse where the red dot is, the button will stay black and you can move the window.

If you position you mouse where the blue dots are, buttons will glow even if you're not over the buttons.

The blur effects on caption bar is awesome! How did you manage to do that?

[Melody]

Excellent LH VS. The best part of it is the absence of black toolbar.

However, I would prefer solid color for the text in the titlebar. The blurry effect might be a technical prowess but is actually hard to read.

[Twisted.Raven]

very nice! how about some y'z toolbar buttons? :)

hmm weird

I try to fix that but I mess up the caption buttons. Im going to leave it they way they are now. I dont think is a big problem.

I create the effect using shadows. :)

Perhaps this is just a personal preference thing, but is it possible to make the glow on the text for the active titlebar a little more subtle, it seems quite hard to read for me. Fantastic theme though, love the caption buttons as well, I've no idea how you done it, looks excellent though.

Awesome VS! :D

[edgarf28]

but does anyone have a styler toolbar for this?

[Von_Beard]

Sorry I dont use Styler.

[sn00pie]

Wow, KoL, amazing theme, your the greatest! :D

[ScottKin]

Ok - this is going to sound like a total-n00b question...

But how do I implement the shellstyle.dll? Do I use regsvr32, or is it implemented directly with the VS?

Thanks!

YES!! (specially for the "fixed radio buttons") :D

Congrats KoL! You're probably the best Visual Style theme maker around. And I really like this one. It will stay for a loooong time :yes:
