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.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
