Royale Vista VS

[_I am Reptar]

Amazing

[JT2046]

This variation of Royale + Vista remix is better than straightforward Vista themes. And dobee has never disappointed us with his amazing skinning skills. Thankz buddy. I use Kudesnick's Vista Icons IP for system and Windows Vista Clarity Gold PNG Pack by both Kudesnick and Wizard for desklet and dock icons.

Thanks Dobee! The specs for the update are looking great.

Shame DA is down ATM...

Now my favorite visual style.

I love this, one complaint is the arrow for the "hide inactive icons" is not viewable till moused over. Other than that it is beautiful and I am very picky. Great Job.

If you dislike the tray notification arrow being hidden,

I've made it possible to unhide it without needing to edit any bitmap, or use stylebiulder in this release...

and its quick and easy

All you need is resbuild or resedit(I've only tested it with resbuild but resedit should work aswell)

Open the msstyle file with resbuild,

Collapse the "TEXTFILE" folder you'll notice alot of normal/large/extralarge ini files,

you dont have to edit all only the one you using (If your not sure which one your using then simply edit each one)

Click on a file you wish to open then edit it using the edit button (this will make the file editable in notepad)

do a search using the find function for "TrayChevronHorizontal.bmp"

rename it "TrayChevronHorizontal2.bmp"by adding a 2, close it a and say yes to save when prompted

do this to each file you want to edit

then save the msstyle, apply it by clicking in on it

voil?!

I love this feature actually, and was wondering if it was possible to auto hide the quick launch arrow the same way.

You'll have to edit or replace the bmp for that...

its just as easy

Open the msstyle file with resbuild,

Collapse the "bitmap" folder

edit the "TASKBARCHEVRON_BMP" files in paint by filling the first or topmost chevron with the transparent pink(you could also use the replace function if you have an edited bmp that you wish to use)

do this to each style you want to edit

then save the msstyle, apply it by clicking in on it

Awesome, thanks.

In Filezilla, the vertical arrow is hidden which might mislead users since the option isn't visible...

... unless the mouse is over :\

I love this theme but there are some annoying display bugs like ian mentioned that need to be fixed.

here is one more:

In some applications/windows text is not displayed correctly

Like here for example:

Looking forward for some updates, awesome work mate!

Top class VS.

Can you please, please make another color variation other than black? Dark blue or dark green for example.

[ATGC]

Great work dobee! This VS is the best I've used so far. Thanks for sharing it :D

I love this theme but there are some annoying display bugs like ian mentioned that need to be fixed.

I think it's a feature and not a bug (like the hidden arrow for the "hide inactive icons"). I simply don't like that "feature" because it can mislead users.

@dobee: Is there a way to "fix" this (using ResEdit)? ;)

you can edit or replace the bmp for that too...

Open the msstyle file with resbuild,

Collapse the "bitmap" folder

edit the "TOOLBARBUTTONSSPLITDROPDOWNGLYPH_BMP" files in paint by copying and duplicating one of the arrows and placing it on top of the 2 arrows below it

(you could also use the replace function if you have an edited bmp that you wish to use)

do this to each style you want to edit

then save the msstyle, apply it by clicking in on it

Yes I'll fix that in the next update... think it only occurs with the radiobutton

dobee this is an amazing theme, I can't beleive I didn't notice it before. The highlighted effect for selected taskbar items is so smooth, and the overall choice of colors is fantastic.

Thanks for the beautiful theme. I'm using it for about a month now ;)

BTW.

On the previous screenshot with this theme (ver. 1.0) you had a RSS-reader plugin ( for samurize i think) with glass borders. Maybe you know where i can find it?

[Shuu]

we seriously need a firefox theme to go along with the xtac version. the regular version, also.

[BF4]

think it only occurs with the radiobutton

It also occurs with checkmarks

Thanks... Yes I noticed that aswell was just about to post it

very nice

[The Watcher]

any updates on the bug fixes for the uh.. checkmark bug where the text isn't complete?

[Dan.Varga]

Very nice theme.

:rolleyes: I think if the color of the selected program bar on toolbar can be more bright, now the highlight is dark fade blue, not easy to read with black backgrount.....

I know... its not very user friendly but it's the only design I prefer'd

its not very noticeable on a light desktop but with a dark wallpaper it looks good and more noticeable

I'll try to fix it in future... if i can
