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:

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
