Maybe with the beta 2?

Per-Pixel frame and title bar animation support (skinners can create some really cool animated title bars and borders now).

I mention the fade thing to Adam from Stardock, I hope the add that in future versions.

The fade is not animation, its part of the overlay image (the gloss) in the normal title bar buttons. The way the per pixel titlebar buttons are done is different.

Kol, will you ever create a small taskbar version?

Nice theme but I seem to get this problem when I run it in the "Glass mode". Does anyone else have this red border in the dropdown windows???

what version of WB are you using??

OK, if you wont make a small taskbar version, can someone create a startbutton for the small taskbar version. i mean resizing the original so that i can override windowblinds settings to small taskbar size without stretching the startbutton...

I guess Master KoL based on high resolution widescreen or dual display to come up with this skin experience. It fits my Dell 2405FPW nicely.

About the task pane, could you change it to a Vista-like one, like seen in recent builds (5221.ux something, PDC Video "Windows Vista: Enabling parental controls in your app")?

Im not going to change the shellstyle but I think Im going to include a separate shellstyle. A top shellstyle that people can import with SkinStudio.

1- I havent found a way to change that.

2- In SkinStudio open the theme and Tools -> WindowBlinds -> Import shell style file

3- Thanks :D

KOL,

Does the free version of SkinStudio support changing shell styles?

I know you can use a shell style from other WB skins in the User Overrides section, but how would I use a one from a file such as what you would provide?

By the way, a top shell style would awesome.

A top shell style is where the side (explorer) bar that has your tasks (such as Play all for music) right?

dear Kol. is it possible to just include shellstyle into the theme?

top would look kool

the one u got in theme atm is "white or blackandwhite" it looks not really cool at all

so any other BLACK shellstyle will look way better

In the latest build of WB5 beta2, the Glass Normal WB5 skin lost it's transparent title bar, but the compact still has a transparent title bar. very odd.

both versions are fine here,

No sorry, Im going to keep the current shellstyle.

Kol, love the work so far :)

Just a quick question regarding the alternate shellstyle, will you be giving a tutorial/instructions how to import it with skinstudio?

both versions are fine here,

Hmm, I tried it on a completely different box with the same results. Compact has a transparent title bar and Glass Normal doesn't. Oh well, I'll just leave it on Compact. Funny thing is that on 4.90 it worked fine on both boxes. Only thing changed was update to 4.95.

It's very easy to import a shellex using Skinstudio. Open Skinstudio, on the toolbar go to Tools /Windowblinds/Import shellstyle file.

Below is a screenie of my import of stefranka's shell with Kol VistaXP Glass

Thanks tweaker (Y) Will the original shellstyle still be available afterward though? Thanks for your reply thus far :)

586796001[/snapback]

When uou import a new shell the old is not available unless Kol were to put a seperate folder with shells in it so the the orignal could be re-imported. A work around would be to save the theme with the imported shell as a sub-style. That's what I did for the one in the screenie. You can do that by telling Skinstudio to 'save as' and give the new theme a name. In this case I saved is Vista Glass Normal. Hope that helps!

some image capturing apps dont pick up the glass and i assume thats what happened there.

586796485[/snapback]

Yeah, I'm using an old image capturing piece of software which does capture the glass effect. The Startmenu didn't show up in the screenie nor the frame of My Computer.

VistaXP v3 Preview

vistaxpv30po.th.jpg

Here's a preview of the next version. I'm still workning with it, what you see on the screenshot is what I have done. The substyles will be renamed. Im not going to make changes to the old version substyles (v2) they will be renamed BETA 1 (Balck Normal BETA 1, Glass Compact BETA 1). The new version is the one that you see on the screenshot, BETA 2 (Glass BETA 2, Black BETA 2 etc.)

Things I have changed:

- New Start Button

- New Taskbar

- New Start Menu

- New Titlebar Buttons

- New Titlebar and Borders.

Things I'll change:

- New Silver color

- New Titlebar Buttons for Black and Silver

- New Start Button for Black and Silver

- New Taskbar for Black and Silver

- New Start Menu for Black and Silver

It will take a little but I'll released before December 16 :p

excelent, that start menu is a big improvement  :yes:

hmmm... will this theme ever utilize reflection maps?

586796592[/snapback]

I tried the reflection map but it doesnt look good because the titlebar and borders have shadows.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
