im having a problem with all of the glass versions. the tasbar works fine and so does the shell styles. the only thing not working is the window frames. there supposed to be transparent but they are just black. they are like this in the preview window also? Any ideas?

Are you running a registered version of Windowblinds 5?

I seem to have a problem (bug?) with the "Glass Normal 2" substyle...

After applying the horizontal shellstyles from the Extras folder, the start button now

looks like this:

I was only able to remedy that by uninstalling/reinstalling the skin, but then of course the shellstyle reverted to its default appearance.

Suggestions, anyone???

I had the same problem after changing to the horizontal shellstyle.

the only problem i have with the horizontal shellstyle is the purple effect if the log off window is also black.

Other than that its working fine in control panel, classic or category. Start button is fine. And also made the shutdown menu the same style.

But as said, if i also make the log off menu the same style, the purple error

Well this is odd.... I just followed you instructions from earlier in this thread and everything works perfectly on my system horizontal shellstyle shutdown and logoff all present and correct..... Never used skin studio before either... Only thing I did different was after choosing each .bmp I pressed the recolour button (don't even know what it does...) and saved after each .bmp (instead of doing them all then saving)... As I've said I know nothing about windowblinds or skinstudio but for whatever reason it seems to have worked. Go figure?!?

small suggestion:

- color theme doesn't match the original Vista color scheme

- some font sizes don't match the Vista (for example: Vista has 9px SegoUI font on taskbar...)

Arrow theme has it ok :whistle:

Sorry guys but I think you will have to deal with the horizontal shellstyle problem . :/

I seem to have found a way around it...

Select a WB skin - any skin - if it is one that you use regularly & don't want to change, simply copy the directory & rename it.

Then using Skin Studio, open->edit that skin & import the horizontal shellstyle from VistaXP (along with any other bitmaps/images you may want to use).

After you have saved the work, open the WB configuration dialog.

Go to Settings -> User Overrides & check "Always use the shellstyle defined in..." and select the skin that you modified.

BTW, this is still the best theme, period.

Note: You will first have to uninstall/reinstall the VistaXP skin (at least I had to). This will "repair" the start button + overlay.

yes that works perfectly here, thanks :D

hey guys, can i use SkinStudio 4.6 to get the Horizontal shellstyle or do i have to use the latest version (whatever that is someone please tell me) cause i really want it and its the last thing that will make my Vista XP PC complete. maybe until i get Broadband and download the latest Vista Builds cause updating on this 33k SH1T is a pain in the anal

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
