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

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

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch labeled "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible. Awesome idea!
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
