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!

[Shuu]

-looks up 'awesomeness' in the dictionary & finds KoL-

[shadowcaster]

whoa i love the new taskbar KoL. super coolness!

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.

Is it possible to change this ?

(can some1 explain me how to change it with Stylebuilder for personal use)

Looks great KoL, definately looking forward to the release.

Also for those of you running nVidia GPUs you can set taskbar transparency through nView :)

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?

Thanks

[CeL_dAmAgE]

You can use LClock and replace it with that. It worked for me, and its really simple.

[Falcons79]

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.

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

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

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

[CeL_dAmAgE]

D'oh, thought he meant about the whole VS being transperant.. >.<

[Capitaine_Cool]

a leak ! a leak !

[CeL_dAmAgE]

I think it looks just good as it is....

[DarkWader]

totti, what sidebar is that, and what skin? Looks pretty nice :yes:

[NightmarE D]

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.
