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.

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

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)? ;)

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

... unless the mouse is over :\

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

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!

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

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

Thanks! (Y)

dobee

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?

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25157172/

It also occurs with checkmarks

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

: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

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653
