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

    • Got it. Seem like a good improvement. Thanks. But, before we "Add the source to Trusted Sites," how would know if it is trusted or not? Could get messy for not first Knowing" it is clean. See what I mean?

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
