[rel] VistaXP WindowBlinds

Extract it to C:/Windows/Fonts

or use the Fonts Control Panel Applet to install them :D

Cheers, worked like a charm. Do you also know how to install the icons from the first post?

1, U can replace most icons one by one manualy.

2, U may use IconPackager to replace all of them one by one.

3, U may use IconPackager to replace all of them by vista iconpackage (.ip or .iptheme) created by others.

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:

That's awesome.

I used to try to make that by modiying shellstyles. But the problem is u can have only one of them showing info at a time. Top or Bottom? ur choice.

How? Do I need to drag and drop all the icons? And where to?

I tried searching for a filename to see whether I could find icons with the same name, but the search found nothing :(

hey, excuse my stupidity, but how do i change the shellstyle of the vs?

thanks

Read the Readme!, open the skin in Skin Studio and then on the file menu go to Tools > WindowBlinds > Import shell style file and re-apply the skin :cool:

[MindTooth]

It might have been asked before. But will WB support the new start menu buttons in a future release?

[joe_banana]

is it safe to install windowblinds with bricopack? i turned off the themes services.

thanks

As I've seen, your style isn't on WinCustomize anymore.

Do you know why?

[beerman]

Is it possible to use this on the skin:

ive used that one before, and wanted the same effect in my documents etc.

i have WB5 and skinstudio, but i have no clue how to import the style.

Tools > WindowBlinds > Import shell style file, i dont see any import shell style in skinstudio

Go to Tools -> WindowBlinds -> Open current skin

Then Tools -> WindowBlinds -> Import shell style file

Then press Shift+F9 to apply.

Could somebody please tell me step by step how to import all the Vista Icons available in the first post of this topic?

Go to Tools -> WindowBlinds -> Open current skin

ok, i got to load the msstyle, but i think i just messed it up. Didnt get the new look of the folders as in

Longhorn Inspirat

or the blue bit of bricopack vista bricopack

i applied the msstyle in skinstudio, but didnt get any result.

As of icons, i use iconpackager

Great theme! I just have one question...

I am running IE7 Beta 1 on XP SP2, and there is an ugly dark grey color to the right of the tabs...is there anyway to skin this space? or replace the color in the theme?

Download Styler and Use the Bister Toolbar

In Toolbar Tab, check "Hide Menubar(IE)

in Info Tab, Check "Styler TB Mode"

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??

Any1???

[Wommers]

I hear ya Duke D. I've tried several times to apply shellstyle and get the same results. read me file instructions not hard to understand. both the 'please wait' and 'shutdown confirmation' in the old luna shellstyle makes me wanna gag. Benotti - whats up with the 'shift+f9 to apply'? :wacko: :blink: :wacko:

[phun8890]

With the version 3 new start menu, the "log off" and "turn computer" off button don't work. hopefully there will be a fix for it soon. Everything else works fine so far. Only the start menu buttons need to be fix. To show you what I mean't, I have attached a picture with my post. No hurry in fixing this, just wanting to point it out incase no one notice.

thanks for the great skin.

Well this shows you didn't read the readme file. ;)

"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."

To apply the horizontal shell style you just loaded. You could also do Tools -> WindBlinds -> and then apply.

Sorry guys for not posting these days. I've been very very busy. Thanks to those that have been answer question of other members :)

Well skin skin have been removed from WinCusomize once again. :rolleyes: Microsoft contacted Brad about the skin and he hd to take it down. At this point there are a lot of different Vista skins in both format, msstyle and WB, and they only took down mine. :/

wow that sucks.. :/

Nice kick to the teeth for them broadcasting your skin like they did.. then they dont take any but yours down because they associated yours with Windowblinds 5... and their "key" features.. so you got a raw deal out of that one...

[fires]

What does this mean then?

Microsoft wont allow you to:

1 skin vista themes anymore?

2 use the name vista?

3 cease skinning?

4 all of the above?

Hope this doesn't mean you can't continue kol.

No, they just asked Brad to remove the skin from WinCustomize. The skin still up on deviatnART and GetSkinned and I wont remove them unless they contact me and explai why only my skin. Im making some update to the skins and I'll upload it soon. :D

xxhiroshi21xx, the skin was taken down at wc due to microsoft's demands, not due to stardock or wincustomize's wishes. also, stardock is comminucating with ms trying in an attempt to allow the skin to be posted on wc. if ms had demanded any other skin to be removed, it would've been taken down, also. why ms singled out kol's is a mystery to me unless it has something to do with kol's placement of the loggoff/shutdown button images in his latest release. blaming stardock and/or wincustomize for this is not the correct thing to do. if microsoft agrees to it, the skin will be posted on wc once again.

new taskbar and startbutton like 5259 :D

[freedom77]

:o ...i love it, Looks great KoL...

have you noticed the way the close buttons seems to be red all the time in 5259? looks kind of wierd.
