looks good. With the transparency effect, it looks a lot nicer than the opaque ones. When will WB5 be finalized anyway, have they set a target date?

thety said end of this year.

Great progress Kol

But can you add shadows to silver and black version? I think it will be possible to simply turn shadows off by telling windowblinds to "never use per pixel alpha on skins" in troubleshooting section. and for the ones that needs the shadows, they could jst leave as it is.

But anyway, greatest theme and i think stardock should thank you, because a lot of people will switch to wb5 cause of you...

Pretty Sexy Bro... I can't wait to use the new taskbar after WB5 comes out. Can you get those animations, the fade effect that vista has when you open up a new window... thx :happy:

You cant do that with WindowBlinds

One comment, loose these colors, they look gay to me :rolleyes: , idk. But it's ok I'll just use it with out the horizontal shell then.

well that's a matter of opinion coz a lot of people like that look, as that's reminiscent of Vista's shellstyle!

I for one think it looks awesome like that :)

Your immature use of the word gay shows how you are. If you don't like the colors used then use a different color he made.

=============

Keep up the great work KoL. But Windowblinds 5 doesn't like my computer and crashes it every time i try opening it. You going to put that new Start menu and shell style in with just your Visual Style theme?

well that's a matter of opinion coz a lot of people like that look, as that's reminiscent of Vista's shellstyle!

I for one think it looks awesome like that :)

Yes it is an opinion, I didn't intend for it as a criticism.

I'm sry I'm 17 and I do use the word gay sometimes, because it's my right of opinion to state it. I'm not criticizing anyone, and I did mean the horizontal shell style, I love the rest of the theme. I'm not telling him to change it, I'm just saying it's not for me, that is why I said I will use the theme with out it, since he did say he will "add the option" of this shell, so it'll just be an optional addition. I told my side of the fence and said I won't use it with the shell, I didn't say I won't use the theme or tell him to get rid of it.

Yes it is an opinion, I didn't intend for it as a criticism.

I didn't mean to sound like I was taking offense to your post or nething.. I guess I was stating the obvious but I wasn't tryin to sound like I was thinkin you were criticizing in any way. I was more leading in to my view on the horizontal style

I agree with you in that it should be an option, and knowing how it's not too hard to put in different shellstyle options, I'm pretty sure it'll be that way :)

    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.

    • That's not what I meant:) I like the tabs being above the URL bar, but previously the tab selection started from the top of the screen (y=0). So I could just quickly push my mouse up and done. Now I have to actually aim it just slightly below the top, because the tab is now a few pixels below the top. In other words, previously I only had to aim with my mouse horizontally, now I have to both vertically and horizontally. Super annoying.
