Wolken007 -----> You need SkinStudio to integrate it into the skin. If you look in the folder where you extracted VistaXP, you should see an Extras folder. Click on it, then Horizontal Shellstyles. You have two files. You have to add the one of your choice (green or blue) into the skin in skinStudio, then save it and apply it again in WB. You should have the horizontal shellstyle. Maybe you'll get a parsing error next time you enter Control Panel. It arrived me the first time I opened it after applying changes but after, it's all good.

Look a few pages back to know how to add a shellstyle in skinstudio, KoL explained it

Ok thanks.

So if the problem is really what you said (about per-pixel borders), I don't have to pay too much attention because my PC will support them in about a week or two...

Yep but even if you card suppot per pixel some programs have that problem. I have seen it in some progress bars in photoshop

Hey KoL, this is Such a Great skin :p

just one thing though, i think the title bar might be a bit too transperant; i don't know you can do the blur effect in wb, i guess not.

also how to change the startbutton in skin studio ?

You need to go to the start button, then on Import > Browse for file and replace it with the startbutton you want.

kol i will say this again and sorry if im act like a pain in the "ss but please put a real transparent taskbar!!! please!!! and also "fix" the circle start button so it can be used with the taskbar on the top  thanks

The taskbar is already transprent, is not my fault that WB dont show things behind the taskbar, and the round button work fine with the top taskbar.

Yes, the borders should turn black. That's how Kol has designed the theme.

is there a reason he turned glass off when u maxamize a window? Also when i added the horizontal shell style the pretty please wait messages were replaced by the default windows one... is there a fix for this??

Hi

Kol can windowblinds 5 emulate this vista shellstyle in this pic?

http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6491

Care to give it a go? :)

I agree...a full shell style (top and bottom) would be awesome. Is it possible to have different folders display different colored shell styles in WB5 though? That would be cool.

Here's a little screenie of my computer in 5231:

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
