Only thing I wanna see changed is the gap between the start button and the rest of the task bar.  Cut it in half at least.  Otherwise it's a perfect Xmas theme.

i've taken a few days off of making the style.. it was driving me nuts, i needed a break from it.

The gap will be fixed between the start button.. the background image for the alternative shellstyle will NOT be added, because it doesn't want to agree with me. I haven't fixed the issue with the "black corner" on the right of the caption bar, when the windows is resized, but i plan on fixing it.

other than that... i'm not sure that anything more will be changed. A compact menu will be added, and i still plan on making an alternative style with colored borders, and less "grey/silver"...

than i'll port to WB..

but i dont have any planned release date as of yet..just soon.

im using this rite now although i may switch back and wait for xmas to come to use this again. its by far the best xmas vs because its actually usable unlike most of the others.

heres a small wallpaper i just made to go along w/ the style. ur welcome to use it for the vs, just PM me to tell me cuse i'd like to know.

here is an updated visual..

updated caption bars (removed stars) made active/inactive noticeable.

Added alternative shellstyle

Added folder images

lightened the tabs and buttons to make viewing black text easier.

Lowered the glow effect on some text.

changed scrollbars to match the style more.

let me know your thoughts, and please report any more bugs that you've come across.

I loved how the stars were originally. :(

I hate reporting more bugs... but it has to be done.

Someone noted that the apps in Office 2003 end up having 16 colour icons. I confirm that behaviour.

Compare both screenshots: one from Exmas and one from LE4.

not sure if this has been said before or not but u cannot right click on the window name things in the taskbar.

:huh:

If you meant the taskbar buttons, they work just fine. I can right click on anything in the taskbar and the correct menu will pop up.

sry guys.. i've been crazy busy lately.. haven't had the chance to finalize the theme yet.. so my apologies to those who still feel it's not usable..

anyway.. until the final release.. i released the logon and styler toolbar on the website..

okay i'm gonna see what i can do with it right now.. i can fix the caption bar bug with the black corner, fixed a few other things as well and added some things.. but i have no F*ing clue how to fix that 16bit outlook icon issue.. no idea.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
