[Von_Beard]

[Mr. Dee]

I think this is a build distributed to Windows for Vendors.

[iSimx]

Oops, I just checked my latest info, and it seems a Beta 2/RC0 Milestone 'is' due to come out... likely in April... I love Microsoft change up there plans like this ... lol

Exactly, Looks too blurry around the letters Rudy. Look where it says "Build 5308" If thats not a cut and paste job. A poor Photoshop makeover of a 5270 ?

So is that normal Chaos-X

[AJerman]

Yes, it's normal, and it's already been discussed in the thread. I know 2 pages is a lot to read.

I did read it. Butt out.

I'd hate to see what level you read on then :laugh:

It's ok, I'm just giving you a hard time.

Yeah, college degrees are definately over-rated. Oh, and fix that typo. :rofl:

No he really doesnt need to butt out. If you had read it you didnt comprehend what you read. Because it was discussed and debunked. Its jpeg compression at work creating the artifacts around the text. This is a genuine build and a genuine screenshot. Activewin doesnt post fakes.

So if you had understood what you read you wouldnt have lassoed that part of the screenshot and made that post crying fake. :sleep:

[scaramonga]

Yawwwwwwwwn :sleep:

[d3nuo]

Yawwwwwwwwn :sleep:

ditto.

I'm just waitin for feb CTP :)

[neostyle]

win 98 :D :laugh:

Because the black theme won't be final for RTM build. Windows Vista will have sort of blue look and feel... :yes:

I dont think so, i think vista is gona have that black theme, but they may had a bit more shine to it so it looks more mordern for those who wont have Areo ( i think thats the right one) intallled on their system.

I wished they kept Luna as a theme :(

I don't see how hard it is to have it in there.

Classic, Luna and Aero *default*, thats how it should be :)

Thanks for the screenshot, guess all we know is a newish build #.. hehe

one thing they should put in there, is ALL the themes of past vista and Longhorn bulids. from the 4000 bulids to the curent 5000. ( the 3000 bulids was manly the XP luna look and fell) then people can chose thier favoite theme, cause i have seen a lot of people saying the 4000 bulids are better ( i think the curent ones are a lot better IMO) so this way, they can have their chose on what theme to have. and also they should add all 4 of the XP themes. Luna, ( blue, olive green, sliver, and they royale blue)

They can't. Vista's theming service isn't compatible with XP-era themes, which is what most 4xxx themes were.

oh ok, now i know something new. thanks.

[Larney]

Hmm bit of a pointless screenshot I guess but something new nonetheless.

Enough said but watch this thread turn into 20+ pages of orgasms over a boring screenshot...

[Angel Blue01]

But they could still port it at least make it look the same
