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 are for composition thanks great!

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

    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
