[Sn00pY]

w00t. Nice b0se... hope things going well with your business setup... good to see you back working on this theme!

[b0se]

Anyone know why the Neowin patcher isn't working? I have XP SP2 (5.1.2600) and I can't apply the theme to test :E

[greatestfall]

this is a trick by b0se. more posts on this topic without any updates for another 5 months.

please don't post if you have nothing constructive to say about this.

Is it taking away your XP themes as well?

If so thats what happened to me, I'm stuck on Windows Classic even if I disable

OMG i cant wait ^_^!!!!!!!!

Great news to hear that you are still working on this. Do you have the theme service running? Maybe that's why you can get it to work. Anywho, good luck with the theme. (Y)

The Neowin patcher v2 somehow stopped working for me. However, if you're lucky enough to find v4 out there somewhere, I was able to patch successfully with that one.

Another simply beautiful theme, by the way. I can't wait to use it. You're possibly one of the most talented graphic designers / themers / artists / whatever that I've ever.. erm.. not really met. Read about? Meh. Regardless, kudos for the wonderful visual style and I do hope you're able to patch successfully.

Great to see you back and working on this once again. Figured real life had taken a hold of you once again. Good luck on your business endeavor. I have wanted to go out on my own for a while now, but like the stability that my current employer offers :)

[b0se]

Thanks for the kind words everyone :?)

I can't get my system patched. I've tried Neowin Patcher versions 2 and 4, both failed (they have never worked for me iirc). I've also downloaded a patched uxtheme.dll and that didn't work either. I've even download XPLite and disabled WFP, and tried the patches, nothing worked.

I used to use a patcher that was on some random site, but I can't find it. Starting to **** me off now, hate wasting time with stuff like this!

Shawn Grimes (Hex) made a patch once, it was on my old W9D Fourm, can't find that either *nnnng*

[NeoXY]

YES BOSE I R WUV YOU!

:p

But seriously, its great to see you back B0se..expect some great things from you (as always) :D

[theresiststance2003]

b0se, when you say you downloaded the uxtheme, did you just copy it into System32 or did you use Replacer? If not the latter, I suggest you give it a shot. :)

[Gavin001]

Hav u tried the Neotheme......always worth a shot

And it's great news 2 see u back posting :) cant wait :D

[invhntr]

There's always StyleXP and TuneUp Utilities 2006's TuneUp Styler :x

Oh, and Styler..

[eyeball1978]

I was never able to get those patchers working myself. The Universal UXTheme Patcher by Flyakite has never let me down though - http://osx.portraitofakite.com/index2.htm (you can find it under downloads on the top nav bar).

[b0se]

Well after about 10 billion reboots I managed to get themes working (I used Replacer)...

I can now apply existing Visual Styles, but I can't apply ones I compile from within StyleBuilder. I.am.going.insane.

Edit: Got it sorted now. 2 hours of ****ing about just to get themes working.

I have something similar. I can't apply the theme from StyleBuilder, but if I just compile it and apply it manually it does work.

Relax, good sir. This VS is very much worth it (though it probably doesn't seem like it to you!).

Glad to see you got it working, by the way.

[KoL Veteran]

What are you using to apply it guys?? Compile and Apply???

[Dobee]

yes :yes:

I always use this method

it's much quicker than stylebuilder's compile and apply on my PC

Sorry Bose, I don't have time to read all 35 pages of this thread..so I hope some of these critizisms haven't been brought up..if they have, I'm sorry.

I love this VS so far, but I see a few things in the mock-up that I think could be better.

1) The "gloss" on the window title bar is the same over the bar, and the min/max/restore buttons, it looks like the buttons are just under a layer sort of, maybe if you offset the gloss a little on the buttons, it wouldn't look like you added the gloss AFTER the buttons. Or maybe if the gloss followed the infered gouge in the title bar where the buttons are, it wouldnt line up so perfectly.

2) I love the taskbar, but would prefer it if the Active taskband melted into the grey strip under it, without the line separating it from the grey bar under the taskbar. Think "display properties tabs"...and how they try to have no distinction between them and the thin bar they attach to.

3) I think the inactive taskband should still have some sort of separation to it, maybe a similar shape to the active, but just a line...that maybe fades out near the grey bar bellow the taskbar...so that it's just sort of hinted at without being conected like the active taskband is. I'm just not a fan of text floating on my taskbar so much...my own personal preference is all.

4) The scroll bar system is too much, maybe too complex...I like the idea, maybe it's too much...it does however go with the rest of the theme, and maybe I'm too simple lol.

As usual man, you're making my next theme, and it looks fantastic...keep up the great work.
