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.

    • Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.
    • Yeah Patchou was an active member here, good ol' times indeed.
    • Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
