[rel] VistaXP Visual Style

[freedom77]

hey KoL...

i don't know that much about makeing VS's, But would it not be possible to create glowing effect of the close/min/max buttons, by doing them like this:

Nope that's not possible becasue then the buttons (close, max, min) will be separate.

[freedom77]

so you can't overlap the close button image only when its pressed or highlighted

Hi kol your theme is great good job

but is still far from perfect

here are 2 more bugs ' i think'

1-control panel and other windows like my music dont have a background picture

(sorry if its already mentioned) (or is because i change the shell style?)

2-on shareaza when i select something the selecction appear to be white and cant be read easily

but the theme is very good , is there anyway to put the background on folders

white?

or change the traditional start buttom to the new round one?

anyhow thanks for you theme

salu2 y perdon por mi horrible ingles jejeje c-ya

[..Vector..]

^^Your first problem is because you have changed the shellstyle from the default one for the theme ;)

[freedom77]

you won't get a VS much more perfect than this EnergyBlue

[EnergyBlue]

i added the pictures to the shell style but in your theme those pictures dosent appear, but in the others like microsoft royale the shell appears correctly

what can be the cause?

can i upload the modified shell style?

KoL: sorry to continue moaning at you :blush: , what about this idea??;

fading black to gray, with the new min/close/max buttons???

i just think it would look really slick :woot:

KoL, you have done an awesome job with this project. I've been pretty slow to warm up to the Longhorn/Vista look, but I really like this! Thank you for sharing your work, it is greatly appreciated.

:punk:

Yeah I think Im going to create those new caption button. They match the buttons of my theme ;)

5231 looks like 5219 which looks like 5112(beta 1) which looks like VistaXP.

Hi, I've installed Vista build 5231 under VMWare and it has a bit different theme, especially another windows titles and buttons. Are you going to update your XP skin to match the original 5231 theme ??? It would be nice :)

and another thing would be nice: same explorer task panels like in Vista. I use that one from Brico packs, but I'm missing the bar at the bottom of the window with file info

Thanks :)

[crimsonhead]

theres plenty of themes of that ugly purple non-glass theme on vista. :pinch:

:)

just look here: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/showcas..._2_explorer.jpg

I'm not at home now, so I can't make a screenshot in my Vista, but I found this image. It's not exactly the same ;-)

I can provide Vista theme file if you want :-)

[Big Muscle]

so this theme is used only when Glass effects are disabled ? there's only one theme in Vista called Glass but effects are disabled, because virtual adapter doesn't support them..

btw thanks for your answers ;-)

Brico Vista Inspirat Pack 1.1 plus KoL's VistaXP VS 2.0 is a perfect marriage on my office system. Installed the former for the shellstyle, logon, toolbar, ObjectDock and theme hack and then choose the latter for the perfect Vista-style theme. :) I don't have those paid versions of Object Desktop or StyleXP in my office PC. Therefore this method is perfect for me. :)

Niiiiice!!!!

[peterPL]

KoL -> I have sugestion, maybe you change your shellstyle and make background same like on this screen from Vista, what do you think ?
