Lol. for real. :D

[Tungsten T]

It seems this one has smoother edges due to a little more aa.

[aitf311]

Dont you guys want to actually be excited to be using the interface on the real thing? These themes seem like they kind of undermine the new gui.

[Alladaskill17]

Yeah, what is the difference ....AND....IS THERE A MSSTYLE u guys can port/make?

[Corris Veteran]

ooo, its really nice, it doesnt have that blue line on the right and under the windows, whihc is good, they were a bit weird if u ask me

and like alot of styles out there, they also ahve the blue lines around the start menu pic

so grats to you, i love it

besides this one small problem

i use large icons, and there poking out a bit, this is slightly annoying :(

pwease fix :D

[Alladaskill17]

Fix: Dont use large icons, well....i take that back, whats your res?

[vimkid]

that's a very good job, thank you

[Mr. Dick C. Normous]

Anyone eles having these problems? I am running Windows Server 2003 (which is why there is no user pic in the start menu) but other themes work fine.

I'm using it right now because it's the Vista skin with the lessest glitches!

Some hints:

• Improve the quality of the 'fake' search/shut down/log off icons.
  
• The curve in the information bar of the Explorer window's not perfectly curved. :\
  

But with those fixed, this skin would be an almost perfect replica! :D

Fix: Dont use large icons, well....i take that back, whats your res?

mines 1280x1024, and the icons are too smal without using largeicons, so i wont be changing that

like otherwindowblinds vista skins, you just ahve to use a simple substyle for the two differnt sizes

[Alladaskill17]

I have a question: Does the toolbar and Navigation [both shown in attached pic] come with the theme, or are they a seperate toolbar i have to download.

When u download it, the files are in another folder, but u need styler toolbar to use, to give the full vista look

[NemesisNG]

I have to say, this is very good indeed.

Once again nice work Masterhack (Y)

[Yagi]

I just want to see someone create a theme like this using Royale Blue from Media Center Edition. I think that would just be nice, there's something about that shade of blue and transparency that I think would be sweet. The black is nice and all, but I think a blue would be a bit nicer since this isnt Vista, its Windows XP, and Windows XP color is blue and Vista's is black.

But other then my personal opion here, I think this theme is very nice and well made. Very nice job.

[Alladaskill17]

Ok, cool, Styler Toolbar..ill go find it in a few minutes.

EDIT: Does the search, and Menu bar "My computer > My Documents > My Music" actually work? Cant find styler toolbar.

[Mannlich]

great work, but i also get the bug with the star menu.

[M118LR]

How did you get the resources from the 5308 aero.msstyles as neither ResEdit or ResHacker work with this build?

Will there be an msstyles version of this?

[Suicide]

lol first of all: i thought that the Kols theme is banned/warez or smth (by MS), so why the REMIX of the theme is allowed?

I'm using it right now because it's the Vista skin with the lessest glitches!

don't belive in this, its bullpee :sleep:

1) startmenu has nothing to go with 48px sized icons :x (customizing community uses 48px you should know and do a version for it)

2) selection colour is way too bright, so the icons are smashed :x

3) menu with transparency and rounded corners for more 'fun' :x

4) quality of graphics of buttons and fake searchbar in startmenu is :x

so yeah 'less' glithes. totally :x

im staying wiht "V" 1.3 here, no chance ( v 1.4 worse then 1.3, belive me )

ps: stop thouse useless remakes

Using it now :p Well I think it will get better if you make the borders more thicker and change the titlebar text to make it more thicker too, like in the Arrow theme
