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

vista_5112_25.jpg

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!

You can change them using programs like ResEdit or ResHack.

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

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?

/me prepares to be enlightened

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. ;)

have installed it and been using it for a few hours now. cant find any bugs. Thank you very much for working so quick to get it updated and making sure we get the best vs out. Seriously a very polished and smooth vs.

Dont suppose u could give me a link to the icons tho? looked in the icons section but feel i would be there for days actually trying to find the right one.

No more glow effects? :(

Glow effect is for the WindowBlinds version. I had to import and rework the skin again to make it work with WB5 and Im working with the glass version for the lucky guys that have a card that support the transparecy pon the windows. Mine fdont support it :(

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.

    • It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.

    • lol it was a typo, fixed! haha imagine an actual 4TB Gen4 NVMe for $40 in 2026
    • Get over it, has nothing to do with my point.
    • I really don't like these rounded corners and huge borders in the viewport. They just waste space without anything in return.
