Joni_78 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) Long time since I last did Visual Styles but I'll add this here since so many requested it. This is modified MCE 2005 theme updated with some nice stuff from Vista. Only minor changes since original looks so beautiful anyway. Note: This only works with English Windows version (or any other that has "Start" text in the start button). In another languages the start button might not be displayed correctly. For another languages send me PM (include the text that your language start button displays) and ill make another version for that. (Click for full size image) Download ->English<- Changes 1.0.8 --------------------- - Added Dark Blue Color Changes 1.0.7 --------------------- - About 50 new bitmaps from Vista - Fixed Start Button shadow - Fixed some colors Changes 1.0.6 --------------------- - New Start Button - Back to regular captionbar and buttons.

GameMaster90 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Great job man! But could I suggest something? How about making a Vista-like Start menu for the next version but keeping the Royal colors. I would do this myself, but my copy of StyleBuilder already expired two days ago. :( Again, great work!

P!P Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Wow, this is the color scheme would use or at least have an option for in Vista. I'm starting to dislike the Black.

kazgor Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Its a little hard to tell really what this looks like as you're not showing use what the start menu looks like or an explore window..

hkore Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 That is an awesome mod, but the taskbar seems a litle to chunky for me, but im still using it. Great work!
