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:

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

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
