PLEASE em3, make something for the desolate Vista's VS scene too.

Oh I so do support that call. And I'd call every single one of the old school skinners and themers out there which have stopped. KOL, flyakite, em here, bubbabyte (or so), I don't even remember them. It's a shame there are only modded Aero's around and with modded I mean added transparency or changed font colors :( I miss the good old days...

Making skins for Vista is harder then making one for XP. There isn't a Stylebuilder for Vista yet and all the Aero mods are reshacked. That's why there are always a few things edited.

KoL hasn't stopped making skins btw, he's just really busy with his personal life. He posted that on deviantART. em3 hasn't stopped either which you can read on the 1st page of this thread.

I know that with more possibilities the work which has to be done quadruples or so. It all is PNG now (if I understood right), you have to think of transparency, all the effects I guess have to be redone specifically for/in the design of the skin. As a quick example the animated progressbar, I don't even wanna know how much more effort you can/have to put in a nicely done, decent new one.

Doesn't make me stop wishing for cool Vista stuff. Look at it that way: I haven't got any money, yet nothing's gonna stop me from wanting a German; a Merc, Beemer, maybe Audi of some sort :p

The hole skinning engine is different. You need a hexeditor to change the skin colors. And you have to figure out which number is which image inside the file. That's quiete hard and annoying without stylebuilder.

Ofcrouse you can wish for cool Vista stuff. But you'll have to wait for some time to get other skins then Aero :p

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      Seriously 1.8gig....so what. Any computer, if you are going to do serious work on, in 2026 should have a mimimum of 16gig and I would say 32-64gig is the way to go.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      So again, you'd consider "I'm happy with my LG TV" to be a valid response to an article about PlayStation? I get the "I don't like any of their products" but how does that in any way invoke Linux? It just feels very random.

    • State of Decay 2, Blasphemous 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days

      State of Decay 2, Blasphemous 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The latest Free Play Days offer has just kicked off, giving Xbox players the chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. The offerings this time aren't as massive as last weekend, but there are still major releases for Xbox players to jump into. This includes Undead Labs' post-apocalyptic title State of Decay 2, as well as two Team17-published titles. Two of the games being offered this time are available to all Xbox players without needing any kind of Game Pass subscription. In the fully free-to-play section, you can jump into State of Decay 2. The title is both an action survival title and a community builder, letting players choose a map, set up their base, and try to keep the growing zombie threat at bay. Cooperative play is available too. Don't forget that the studio is preparing a third entry for 2027. Next, Blasphemous 2 drops in for Metroidvania and Soulslike fans, where The Penitent One returns for another adventure. The title has tough combat with multiple weapon options, deadly traps to avoid, and platforming sequences requiring a lot of patience and timing. Keep in mind though that the offer does have a 5-hour time limit attached to it. Lastly, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the WWII-set first-person shooter Hell Let Loose. The multiplayer game offers 50 vs 50 combat in massive maps, with infantry, tank, and artillery options available for players. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Hell Let Loose (Xbox Series X|S, PC) State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition (Xbox Series X|S, PC) Blasphemous 2 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 11, at 11:59 pm PT.
