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

    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The most consequential argument in technology right now is not about which model is smartest or which chip is fastest. It is about whether the entire enterprise is a generational revolution or the largest financial bubble ever inflated — and the unsettling answer, increasingly, is that it may be both at once.,,,, https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318138/20260610/ai-revolution-ai-bubble-trillion-dollar-question-splitting-wall-street-silicon-valley.htm This is a very good read.  For what it is worth, I agree with the answer to the question.
