[rel] VistaXP Visual Style

[KoL Veteran]

I would love if someone could send me the msstyle version and any other graphic related file of the PDC build. That way I can make an accurate uodate of the theme. I think the PDC version use other scroolbar image. Now the people that keep posting about the scrollbar will be happy.

yeah, someone please send!

Hi great style, I have been using it for a while now. I am wondering if you plan make a version with the new start/logo button. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...158&t=372677&s=?

Ok then. Do you not like it? I kind of like it, it's a bit different though.

edit. The colour is a bit off, if I was to do it I would change the blue to a......... don't know something else and not dull the flag colours.

Is not that I dont like it, It looks cool but take a look at my post here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry586531646

Ive seen this thread. A start button like this one is not very usable in XP, You need to create a bigger taskbar with the top part transparent to be able to create a startbutton like that plus when you maximize a windows it wont cover the part trasparent part of the taskbar. And Im not really sure if that I told you is possible hehe, I've never try it.

Ok. Thats a shame. I didn't get to page 4 so I missed your post.

It looks ok when flush with the top of the bar, if you excuse my photoshopping.

not yet, I'll wait until the Vista PDC version get released to see if the theme need updates. I havent see anything new in the screenshots. Maybe I'll change the name Longhorn "5203" to something VistaXP or XPVista.

Hey thanks for the reply Kol. (Y) I really like your work on this. :) Maybe you cold include the total package where the logon and off screens are changed too. Just a thought.

I'm using another version at the moment only cause I like certain aspects yours is missing. But I think your version works a lot better.

The new release looks great! Nice work Kol! Some of the problems I've encountered with 1.5 are fixed. :)

Too bad the scrollbar problem is still there with Firefox. I know it's not the theme's fault because upon closer inspection and comparison with other browsers, it would seem that Firefox displays it differently. :s
