It has been quite a long time since my last skin...Time goes by so fast and I have to say life is like a box of chocolates. Hard disk failure, mainboard crashed and Blog space down, I got much bad news in the past weeks...

Finally, I get back to skin and now introduce you the skin I have planned at least 3 months.

I got the idea when I installed Win Vista 5270, and with transparent elements, I hope you can enjoy this skin!

Love the startbar/menu seriously tasty, although i think the min/max buttons would of looked better without the scalloped bit ?

or maybe just a tad bigger and maybe with glow effects of some sort. I never understood why so many skinners cram the 3 min/max/close buttons so close together and then make them, so small. this one isn't as bad as some, but it makes it harder to hit the right button if you are in a hurry and running high resolution.

This skin is awesome! However, I do have two issues. First of all, I have a weird bug where the titles are misaligned with the title bars:

I tried seeing if there was anything I could edit in Skinstudio to correct the problem but I'm a bit new to the program and haven't seen anything.

The lesser issue is that I have quicklaunch in its own toolbar at the bottom of my screen (My Desktop). However, it is not transparent. It is white, and I would like it to be transparent, if possible. I didn't see any options for transparency/translucency (like for the taskbar). As an alternative solution I tried modifying the .bmp used for the background to match the color of my desktop. However, while the colors did match, I was left with a white border around my toolbar that I haven't found out how to get rid of.

Any help would be much appreciated--thanks!

the way that its recommended to 'fix' is to change your font size to 20% up from default. that fixed it for me.. i wish there was a way to have it just 'work' w/o having to mess with font sizing.

I had that first problem with the skin too, I think I fixed it by altering one of the content margin values (top, bottom?) for the PerPixel Caption or PerPixel Text Background.

Sorry I'm a little vague, it was back in April.

Sweetness, it worked! I also did try the font manipulation, but all the sizes are negative... And after altering them WB froze when I tried to apply the skin. Thanks for your help though--still working on that white toolbar.

Same problem, that's why i stopped using it, but besides that its a really nice skin.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
