Hey, KoL, just had an idea: first, I saw the following screenshot at Paul Thurrot's Super Site For Windows:

Then, since you and I quite dislike top shellstyles, :whistle: I thought you could move your shellstyle to the right and give it another backgroud color... say, light blue? Or a darker gray? :cool: I think it'd make the skin even more Vista-like... :laugh:

Well, that's just an idea... and when will v2 be released? Can't wait!

I don't understand why some people need their taskbars to be 5 pixels smaller than standard. Is it really that big a deal? What's the point?

More desktop space, the better.

New version

I think most of the bugs are fixed except the photoshop bugs. :D

Version 2.0

===========

- New black window frames.

- New silver window frames.

- New buttons.

- New combobox drop down button.

- New start button.

- Tabs bug fixed.

- A lot of little bugs fixed.

I didnt include the round startbutton but you can download it and change it yourself. Left ffor Silver right for Black.

You can change them using programs like ResEdit or ResHack.

I found the icons on the icons section here on Neowin :)

Personally i just find that the standard sized taskbar is to big and bulkey and i am sure that i am not the only one who prefers the smaller compact size taskbar either, which is why i was hoping that KoL would be ever so generous just to add the ability to choose between the standard sized taskbar as well as the smaller taskbar, and that way everyone is happy. ;)

:yes:

Thanks KoL for a perfect VS!

[crimsonhead]

Why did you change the buttons? Isn't this skin supposed to look as close to Vista as possible? Same goes for the start menu. IMO they were better b4 :\

the style is supposed to look good, not as close to vista as possible. still, you're entitled to your opinions. i like some of the old and some of the new.
