[rel] VistaXP Visual Style

[KoL Veteran]

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 :\

This is my version of Vista. Im trying to make it close to Vista but with some changes that I think are better.

Okay, keep up the great work then :)

Cool, now the title bars look new style, not the way that 5048 with DWM on looked like. I don't really mind about the start button, it's fine either way. (Y)

Kol, your work is outstanding :woot: :woot: , but I have seen a difference between Vista XP and Windows XP Style when using MS Office that I don't like.For example when using Word. Look at the picture, is there a way to make your theme look like XP style in the elements I'm remarking?

1) the background in the thumbnails view

2) the sheet

3) toolbars

Rename VistaXP.msstyles to Luna. Then only choose the normal one. Now you will get blue theming for Office 2003.

Pwn3r,Is there a way to do what you say, but instead of getting blue theme, get the silver one?

Is much better with Kol's theme

Not possible, unless you edit it with StyleBuilder and change the shellstyle folders of a substyle to say "Metallic" instead of "LH5203", and copy them over. You can't change normalcolor though.

Could someone help me and tell me how compile theme with StyleBuilder with diffrent fonts, when I compile any style in StyleBuilderI have only Normal,Large,Extra Large Fonts, but I want fonts not size of one font, sorry for my english but I hope You understand what I mean.

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 :(

Please remove that link. I clearly say in the read me no redistribution.

[JustGeorge]

Its good work Kol, but I just can't bring myself to use it. I can't stand the light blue around items I highlight, the font looks awful and washed out (might be due to lousy intel extreme gfx) and the shellstyle needs some work. I like the new start button and the silver would be much better a tad darker.

You're most likely gonna have to e-mail rapdshare to have that link removed. If they would have bothered to read your Read Me they would have known NOT to do that :no:

Sorry asking for the mirror, but it wasn't available at deviantart for a while, they were hammered. I see they're back to normal.

There is a problem with those running IE 7 Beta1 for XP SP2.

See the attached image. This shows up after a while of use of IE 7, (after resizing etc, but seems random)

I hope you can fix it Kol, because it spoils what is otherwise a very nice theme.

[TheWahbinator]

Can someone please tell me how to remove a rapidshare link? I saw it but then I closed the page; forgot the killcode. Or just edit my post

[NightmarE D]

Hey KoL...here's two things I've noticed.

In the 1st pic you can't see the mouse in the screenshot I took so I marked where it was at. The buttons light up before the mouse is over them. But I've noticed this on other Visual Styles and it's most likely not you.

In the second pic the button in the Tool Options window of Paint Shop Pro shows up not skinned. Looks kinda like the Windows Media Player bug you had a little while back.

[WorfsPonytail]

still experiencing some bugs.

the bug in the photoshop toolbox at the bottom corner after doing something in photoshop.

and when you right click, and the context menu comes up, icons have some overlay over it and it messes the colors up (dissapears when you hover over).

I got the round start button working on your WB skin, and it looks awesome. :D

I had to make the image a bitmap and add the rest of the taskbar to the image, since LClock doesn't support pngs, and that's what I used to change the start button with, but it worked out fine and smooth. :happy:

If anyone needs the bmp I can upload it, with the permission of Kol, of course?

Oh and this is only for the black taskbar.

Kol: Would it be possible for you to maybe upload just one file for your theme for those who want to update to the new startbutton (vista round one). I seem to niether have the resources or the ability to do so and was wondering if u could maybe do it n up load it?

I dont have that problem with IE 7 beta one.... no matter how much i resize and alter the window there is now problems. Must be a problem with ur setup? And remember...... its still in BETA and u cant expect Kol to hunt down all the bugs for a current BETA release and then have to chnage them all when the program is updated to a higher build.
