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:

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
