It's a highly sophisticated  skin, but you could you add a glow to the start button?

I can add glow to start button, buttons and other parts but I dont want to. I'll create another skin that I have in mind that will have glow everywhere :D

Umm, got a couple of bugs here :s

That's not a bug if you people read my comments or readme file you'll know why the buttons are like that.

"In all BETA 2 versions the log off buttons on the Start Menu doesn't work. The buttons are hidden in the white area. The buttons can't be done that way because WindowBlinds dont have control over that text. I made it that way to keep the feel of the Window Vista Beta 2 concept."

KoL Clearly stated that.

I don't have X, Max, Min buttons with firefox. I also can't move the firefox window... what's up with that?!

-edit-

A pic of it: (the startbutton is also not round)

You need beta 3 to get it to show properly

Great Theme, thanks! Just one thing I can't seem to get the icons to work. When I download the file vistalcons.rar it asks for an application to open it. I didn't know if I should choose WindowBlinds or not but when I did nothing happens. Can someone tell me exactly how to get the Vista icons?

There are many methods to do this. One is to make copies of explorer.exe, iexplore.exe, shell32.dll, etc and use ResHacker to replace the icons, or use a program that changes them for you. The replacement method takes longer but works better.

WiindowBlinds 5 has an official release date: November 29! It's hard to believe that WindowBlinds 4 is almost 3 years old.
So what, wb5 in about a week. :D

But it ****es me off that the Vista theme, Arrow, is a ripoff of VistaXP. Check the Start Button :huh:

regarding the start button, crimsonhead, i think you'll find mike's Arrow skin was updated before kol updated VistaXP. there is no ripoff by either skinner. i have both skins on my system. i don't use either of them but i do have them. there are differences between the skins.

Right :happy:, Mike didn't rip anything off of KoL's theme, you can see the start button is a lot darker and clearer in KoL's theme, and it has no glow either. KoL also has a transparent start menu, Mike's Arrow theme doesn't.

It just seems to me that the two skins are progressing at the same rate. Not just the start button, that was bound to happen with the beta 2 concept art.

Meh, I don't like how arrow looks. It's like vistaxp's ugly twin sister. :\

explain to me how my post which did nothing more than state that neither skin is a rip of the other led to two posts degrading Arrow? i said nothing in my post that could be taken as negative towards either skin, did i? kol made one. mike made one. leave it at that. there is no need for derogatory comments about either skin. both are excellent skins in their own right. cheers.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • 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.
