No Im not talking about if the glow is possible on the inactive button and talking about removing it. I havent found where, if there is a setting, to remove it.

Yes, each button has the Overlay Image last entry at the bottom of the buttons.

This skin is awesome - love it love it love it. Looks great on my 17" as well :D.

The only suggestion I have currently is to make the start menu transparent (something like Anai VS for WB) or make a sub-style for it. I was using that prior to this but it had a few bugs. I've yet to find fault in this skin however. It's definetely a keeper for me!

Keep up the great work

I'm playing around a little bit with SkinStudio to modify the theme for myself - I hope you don't have a problem with that KoL :)

Got so far:

Only one Problem..if I maximize a window it maximizes a little to much..

The borders are completly out of the screen and it seems that like 2-4 pixels of the window maximize behind the taskbar.

How can I fix that? :/

One thing, Could you make it so that the scroll bars on the side of windows are a bit more.. Visable?

I have trouble seeing them on my laptop screen. If it would be something more like:

Thats the skin I have to use so I can see the bar properly.

Its just too light

Fixed for version 1.5

- Fixed disable titlebar glow.

- Fixed borders problem.

- New classic start button.

Im going to work with more update this weekend.

Im going to keep the toolbar the way they are until I see changes of scroolbar on Vista build. My scrollbar are almost identical to the ones on Vista and I like it this way. I dont know how many time I have said this.

Oh, you probably said this a zillion times. :) But it's a matter of fact, Vista or not, that they are too bright in their unselected state. Do you want an accurate vs or a usable? I would prefer the usable. But it's your vs...

I prefer accurte and usable. I've been using this theme since I started it and I dont have any problem with the scrollbar. I see them perfectly fine on my laptop and on my desktop.

St00pid Question...

Is there an advatage of the WB version over the MSStyle?  Which is better?  Either have an advantage over the other...?

You have glow titlebar buttons, logoff windows skinnes, bigborders, menus skinned.

there are some problem viewing words on certain programs like ares lite and hamachi. The options appear as white and the background is white so no words cna be seen. It's pretty hard to navigate around like that. Hope that u know what i'm talking about.

Update

Version 1.5

-----------

- Visual Style name changed to VistaXP.

- Fixed disable titlebar glow.

- Fixed borders problem.

- New classic start button.

- New scrollbar images.

- New places bar button.

- New tabs images.

- New header item image.

- New black taskbar buttons.

- New black tray arrow images.

- Better progressbar.

- New caption buttons.

I will appreciate if a mod can change the name of the topic to [rel] VistaXP WindowBlinds

Thanks

I think the problem is the program not the skin.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
