Request to KOL !after such a good succes in VistaXP windoBlinds theme maybe this idea will be attractive for you

I made this skin for Windows XP(right now Im using it).

Since Longhorn was realised the theme challengr began, microsoft released many excellent themes, but many of them didnt come in beta releases (builds) so idecided to summ all good ideas and made rally nice skin (as for me),

I spent too many time in Photosop trying ti build this - i used simple colours + some layers ("white to transparent", blur effect and some other).

After creating PNGs I used ResHacker and replaced the original "caption", "frame" and other parts og visual theme, I replaced them witn my. The result you can see on screenshot.

I riped Longhorn 5203 theme from KOL and I dont want to just realeased reped work.

Wayting for windowBlinds release...

if you like this idea post as many as you can -- there is one man who will be able to recreate this skin - its KOL

You should PM him about it. How far along are you? IF you're done with it already, then I guess it would be up to him whether or not you can release it, but if it's just a mockup, I think it would be best for you to contact him directly as soon as possible about him creating it. I don't mean hassle him, but a simple PM should do the job, right?

Looks very nice. The problem with that is going to be the toolbar. Using it with that height is no problem but when the toolbar is smaller or bigger the image wont look good. It will stretch ot tile the image, depending on the setting.

looks nice, but to sour the thread..

- this is in the wrong section, its not a completed visual style, from what i gather

- calm down, slow down, learn to speak coherantly..

- im sure this would have been better suited as a pm to KoL (im aware he has replied, however)

Ill refrain from being a nazi about your spellings and sentence structure, if you like.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
