Vista Glass 1.4

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.

When everyone's running Vista a skin like this will become useless... ;)

What is your Icon Pack ? Do you have a link please ?

same as screenshot

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

[jimbo11883]

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

[porky]

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.
