Thank you for this theme! I love it and I plan to stick with it for a long time. One thing I noticed after using it for a few days, though. On forms where there's a text field, the rectangular field has a grey border on the inside - which is nice, but it often obscures the lettering. Here's an example from the Netflix page:

Screenshot

Unfortunately, it happens a lot on a proprietary web app called Confirmit, that I use for work all day. It even happened when I was registering to post on this forum. The bottom half of the letters sink out of view.

Not enough to make me stop using this theme, I just like the look too much. But I'm curious as to whether this has been an issue for anyone else. :huh:

Thanks again!

Nice one, I'm using the dark theme at the moment.

One remark: how can I change the color of a MS Word document? The document has the same color as everything else (that cool grey/blue). But in word it would be better that the document is white. It's the same for MS Outlook, MS Excel (dark worksheet),...

You can go to Start-Settings-Control Panel-Display.

"Appearance" Tab, then "Advanced"

In the dropdown box called "Item" select "Window"

Change it to white. (Very first color on upper left).

Click OK, then click "Apply".

Wait for your screen to go through a couple of canniptions.

Then click on the Themes tab and save it as my "My Favorite Theme.theme" in your My Documents folder.

By the way, for some excellent Firefox and Thunderbird themes that complement this theme nicely, try:

MidnightFox for Firefox and PitchDark for Thunderbird.

^Thanks^

I just installed the fonts now and it didn't fix it unfortunately.

I use firefox for real life and IE for work, and it happens to me in both.

K thanks... actually I have noticed this bug after visiting a few sites...

it's not as bad as in your pic for me, but i've noticed it

I'll fix it in the next update

;)

Hey Dobee great skin. I've always been a fan. I followed the instructions, have all the fonts, but for some reason mine does not look like the preview shot. There is a weird outline on the start menu behind each icon (see picture). Does anyone else have this problem?

Windows XP SP2, US version

Dell Inspiron 8600

That's actually pretty slick. I don't have any idea why that may have happened, but I want it.

You'll need to make the shellstyle wider... I might widen the shellstyle in the next release for international users

How can I stretch shellstyle?

When you make this extension for international users?

and so you for me would can make?

because style me oneself it pleases very ;]

You can edit the shellstyle with reshack

look for "....xscrollable=false width=154rp>..." at the end of uifile1 and edit the width

if this is too technical for u... wait for the update rather

;)

Really cool theme! Like the way the taskbar seems to "glow" with a selection/alert!

Any chance of being able to put in the current user's picture, like in the real Vista? Not a critism, just something I noticed, or how abouts lengthening the start menu a little, to slot in the current user's name?

Lovin' it!

This is awesome the sec i saw it i installed it on my desk.

But can someone please tell me how I can get my winamp to look like the one on the screen!

There was one guy he gave a link to a deviantart page but its dead so i downloaded the one from

stefanka there is a white and black version but its still not the same i want it too look like this just the

name of the song and the progress bar. Thank you very much in advance

hi, usin this themes. its nice. anyway i got a question to ask,

1. would it be nicer, if dobee make it glass effect?

2. what is the plugin on the top right in th screenshot

3. where can i get a transparent rainlander and where can i download it?

4.how do i remove the text from my icon on the desktop?

@dobee: Nice visualstyle! Finally, something that made me part away from Luna Element 5.

Anyway, could you please make the taskbar alert more "orange" cos it looks pinkish-brown now.

Also, the left-type (white background with no icons) shellstyle would be nicer if it has the same black blackground (with icons) as the top-type shellstyle.

And if it's not too much to request, remove the square border around the close/minimize/restore buttons so that it look like the buttons of Windows Media Player 11 Beta

Thanks again for the great visualstyle :D

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
