Hi Kol,

I'm a great fan of your work - Any plans to implement glass?

Also, i've used iconphile but i hate that little app. Anyone know of any easiar ways to change icons - for free of course!

Translucent borders are done only in WB5 and it isn't possible in Visual Style!

Could you people try to be patient for once and not beg for an earlier release???

KoL said by December 16th and that he doesn't have a lot of free time this month. So try to chill out on the "how about before December 16th" or "WTF? You can't even release a beta for us right now?" posts. It's annoying and it doesn't speed anything up. KoL is a great Visual Style maker and this stuff takes time so let him work and stop begging. He's actually pretty fast seeing how it hasn't even been very long at all since VistaXP 2.0 came out and he's already about done with version 3. It takes some people months do to this.

Sorry for the ranting but when people beg for betas and complain about waiting it bugs the hell out of me. These people have no patience at all and some get angry over nothing.

WOW! :woot: Dude...take a chill pill!

Alright. I d/l'd the program, and saw the option to change the start button. How do I save that pic as a .bmp?

And by that pic, I mean this:

Alright now... I got how to save it as a .bmp, and I applied it as a start button. Now there's the circle, but the part surrounding it isn't transparent. It's white.

Yes, I'm a n00b with computers. I don't know a lot about them.

Right now I have the default start button that came with it. How can I change it so it can be the circle one? post-1522-1128524153.png

Thanks

You can use ResEdit to change the start button.

1. Run ResEdit -> Open -> Select C:\WINDOWS\Resources\VistaXP\VistaXP.msstyle

2. Open the "Bitmap" root directory on the left side and select VISTAXPB_COMENZAR_BMP.BMP (for VistaXP Black Normal). You should be able to see current start button on the right.

3. Now, click on the "replace" button and select the start button you want to replace with.

4. Logoff and login again and you should see the start button changed.

ResEdit can be downloaded from: http://www.tgtsoft.com/download.php

I don't think VS's can make use of transperancy, sorry Falcons. Anyway, KoL, great work, can't wait to use v3!

YEs, you can have transparent start buttons. The themes use PNG with transparency for the start buttons.

WOW!?:woot::? Dude...take a chill pill!

Oh trust me I can be worse. I was actually very calm writing that. You can't sit there and say that it's not annoying when people beg for a beta of something that takes time in creating. I just don't have much respect for them at all when they have no patience for anything.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
