Vista Glass 1.4

93-1-1129972345-preview.png

Here's my try at skinning Miranda IM's contact list to look like Aero Glass, the new user interface found in Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows Vista.

The icon on the title bar opens the main menu, minimize and close buttons do what they should, along with the pretty glow.

Change Log:

Version 1.4

- More title bar tweaking.

- New, authentic group row graphics.

- Changed from hover to normal state graphics for scrollbars.

Version 1.3

- New, authentic Aero Glass window borders.

Version 1.2

- Tweaked title bar buttons.

- Fixed sizing issue on main menu icon.

Version 1.1

- Tweaked title bar buttons.

Version 1.0

- First release.

How do i install miranda skins?

Thanks for the instructions. My Miranda IM looks VERY nice now :)

Also, you might want to tell people to click on "Apply" after they browsed it. I thought I just needed to browse it for the skin to work but you have to click on Apply too.

Thanks for your hard work!

Edit: I got some problems with it.. the text isnt in the center

Thanks for the idea AionXn_! I've added that to the instructions. One thing I can't help you with is that title bar text, since it's not part of my skin.

If anyone has any other tips/something to add to the instructions or skin, let me know.

I think this is an issue with any application when the captionbar text is really really long. :p

Might I make a suggestion? Could you try making the status bar look like the toolbar in vista? What I mean by this is, have the toolbar stretch down; and where the back/forward and address bar would normally be, have the status and icon. So basically... I just want the status bar on the top, with glass behind it instead of the gradient.

I'm not sure how to explain it right, but if you know what I mean could you take a crack at it? I'm going to try it myself later, but it'd be nice if you could release an official copy. :p

Thanks

You can mod it like that if you want to, Trojan. I like keeping my status bar at the bottom where a status bar belongs. ;)

Heh, alright. Well I've gotten most of it... but I'm not quite getting how the msf file works, exactly. I know I'll figure it out in 5 minutes though.

I've gotten the titlebar down, and the transparent address bar png from Vista, at the top. I'm just now trying to fart with the margins.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
