[rel] VistaXP WindowBlinds

[Shuu]

i am too...no prettyness for me.

[tcmean]

i have no problems at all...all the new features work fine

the shutdown dialog is properly shown. it is not shown after i change to horizontal shell.

i think we got to remove previous version of vista xp skin from window blinds. at least in that way, it works fine for me.

Could any1 test a bug out for me?

Procedure:

Have auto-hide taskbar on

Strech a window all the way down to the taskbar ( make it so a bit of the transperent window shows )

hover over the hidden taskbar ( to make it appear )

then go back to the window

Do you guys see a weird section behind the tiny bit of transperent window left???

yeah me too ...

Tis a sad day :cry: ...but why now? seems kinda odd MS let the skin go for so long then stop it all of the sudden, I would of thought they'd be happy it was so well liked? :wacko: oh well guess they just don't see it that way and only see the "dark" side of it...

[ambiance]

Well that makes sense since this is for non-profit. You shouldn't be allowed to use styles unless you buy them directly from Microsoft at a ridiculous cost with DRM laden throughout it. They should add this to their multi-million dollar television campaign of how many things you can do with windows...

sad news :'( anyone knows how could i change the start button for glass beta 2 and use the old one (that is with Kol's extras "StartButtonNormal_WhiteFlag")

Either tell me how or do it for me please,

Thanks for the help!!

Sorry to hear about the shutdown, the skin was and is a masterpiece. Still, I'll bet you've got some good ideas for an all-new type of theme... and I'm sure we'll be right here for whenever you get to it.

A big thank you for all the hard work you put into the skin! :heart:

[Nocstar]

Totally agree with the above post, Your work is damn well appriciated man Thanks for the hardwork on this skin very well done. Always use your skins I bet your next one will be nothing less than amazing as well.

If he is willing to do so it doesnt mean he cant help us make the skin for personal use does it?

For example he can continue to make it and then show/tell us how to do it?

Just a thought :p

Dammit, I missed getting 3.1 by about 5 hours. >< If anyone wants to... point... me in the direction of it... that would be appreciated.

[Dru]

I'm in the same boat :( Shame really. It was one of the best skins available for wb5.

[outokainen]

But does anybody know how I can enable the compact start-menu? There is a file called vistaxpgxpstuffC.xp just like in v3.0 but I can see only Black Beta1, Silver Beta1, Glass Beta1, Black Beta2, Silver Beta2 and Glass Beta2 in the wb5's dropdown menu.

[DarkWader]

Omg.. this is sad news..

I cant believe that MS really did this! :angry:

Was this a request Kol, or was it a threat?

I cant see that making skins is non-legal..

[RightfulSpire]

yea i dont see how they can do this.all these other people can submit thousands of window skins but KoL makes one that is astounding and all the sudden MS wants to put thier foot down, whjat right do they have to do that. there is nothing illegal about it, heck even stardock gives you the apps to build your own skin..i owuldnt listen they have no right.

[AbandonedTrolley]

:( Not good, just glad I got the 3.1 in time then :( as you've already heard time and time again its an amazing piece of work KoL and will still be on many peoples desktops for quite a long time :yes:

[NemesisNG]

It is very bad news indeed. I did manage to grab 3.1 last night thankfully, and I have to say it's amazing.

I can only assume that MS have requested it's removal as it was getting far too close to vista itself, which is only credit to Kol if thats the case.

I'm sad and ****ed off. Luckily I was among the lucky batch to grab the 3.1 yesterday. Thank you Master for all the effort since the Longhorn days.

[RevoDS]

Could you give us the rights over the skin so that it could continue to improve?

I'm sad because you're the best but hey...we have to do with MS's $$$

It would be cool if some anonym people would continue it on another name.

At the moment, I make copies of my version 3.1 on my computer...

Sad day for us...

I think you should remove "Vista" from the name and continue developing the skin.

Plus, didn't you make the graphics in the skin on your own?

[Herby]

Why?!!
