[rel] VistaXP Visual Style


Recommended Posts

*****Warning!***** This is only for n00bs at changing the start button! No offense KoL, but your guide on how to change the start button wasn't to great.  If you download LClock then click on LClock properties. Then click on the tooltip saying "Other" and right there, on the first line it asks if you want to change the startbutton bitmap. Make sure you have the startbutton saved as a .bmp. Then, click on the "..." button for browsing around, find your alt. start button, and whala! Your start button has changed!

I had the bmp posted here some time ago, if you want it. But ResEdit adds the png which is transparent.

a more of a white title bar, maybe even make the toolbar like that as well, i just love these shots of vista :woot: , the new shellstyle and caption buttons make it look very slick.

That's not white that's transparent.

You can have that with the WB 5 version.

Hi Kol, I got WB5 just to use your skin :D It's AWSOME! but still buggy.  I as wondering if you're taking feedback with things that are having problems?

If you are I'm having problems with a couple of programs, 1 being Bit-Torrent. Take a look at the progressbar. The numbers are not supposed to be there, also the bar will very frequently go pink then back to black,would this happen to be because of the flash streak thing you're using in the Windows progressbars? is it something that can be fix?

I have that problem with Bit Tornado and other programs. I dont think its the theme becasue it works fine with WB 4.6 but it doesnt work with WB 5

KoL Love the theme! But I have one suggestion, could you make the transparent title bars in the Msstyle version?

Sorry if this was discussed earlier in the topic, but this thread is only around 60 pages lol :)

hey KoL, will msstyle ever have transparency? is that too much for mssstyles to do? just asking. Maybe if there is some way to tie it into the Nvidia driver? I can drag windows with some transparency with the aid of Nvidia. Or is that your doing?

Don't go and make KoL look bad because you had an issue. You not doing it right doesn't mean nobody else can and KoL doesn't know what he's doing.

I have no experience in making/editing visual styles and changed the start button within 10 seconds and had no issue at all. His guide was very easy to follow.
