Windows Vista also uses a bit different color scheme, I've extracted it from registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]
"ActiveBorder"="244 247 252"
"ActiveTitle"="207 214 232"
"AppWorkSpace"="171 171 171"
"ButtonAlternateFace"="0 0 0"
"ButtonDkShadow"="105 105 105"
"ButtonFace"="244 244 244"
"ButtonHilight"="255 255 255"
"ButtonLight"="227 227 227"
"ButtonShadow"="171 171 171"
"ButtonText"="21 28 85"
"GradientActiveTitle"="223 234 252"
"GradientInactiveTitle"="233 233 233"
"GrayText"="110 140 192"
"Hilight"="185 217 255"
"HilightText"="21 28 85"
"HotTrackingColor"="36 84 158"
"InactiveBorder"="180 180 180"
"InactiveTitle"="204 204 204"
"InactiveTitleText"="75 75 75"
"InfoText"="0 0 0"
"InfoWindow"="244 244 244"
"Menu"="244 244 244"
"MenuText"="21 28 85"
"Scrollbar"="200 200 200"
"TitleText"="21 28 85"
"Window"="255 255 255"
"WindowFrame"="200 200 200"
"WindowText"="0 0 0"
"Background"="131 158 212"
"MenuHilight"="185 217 255"
"MenuBar"="229 234 246"

it's from 5231 (I don't know difference between leaked and CTP. The theme selected in Display properties is called Aero - Glass, but glass effects are disabled because it's running under VMWare...

I use this color scheme with KoL's WB skin and it loooks better, especially menus in Outlook etc...

Big Muscle,

To find out which 5231 build you have all you have to do is go to run and type in winver. If the build date is 19 Sept. 05 it is the leaked version. If the build date is 4 Oct. 05 it is the Oct. CTP.

ok, I'm not at home now, but if I remember correctly the date, it should be leaked version...

Vista Firefox

Perfect companion to VistaXP VS and WB5

This theme has the potential to be good, but for some reason I am a little ho-hum about it. :huh:

I find myself using the Opera 7.5x theme for Firefox. Download It Here

Use ResEdit - http://tgtsoft.com/

Lovely style and this is the first time I've stuck to one I've tried. Two things but

The search bards in the msn toolbar and in outlook are more or less impossible to see with the white and grey blend. There needs to be some sort out outline their, duno if that can be done or not

WMP has that restore button (4th one that doesnt skin). its been mentioned before, as has the previous problem i bet

Anyway great, thanks alot for this.

    • 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.
