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. :)

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

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.

: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?

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.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
