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

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?

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

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
