[rel] Pristine OS

[Mohsin Naqi]

Pristine OS 1.1

WAIT! before you dismiss this theme as one of those innumerable vista clones being released everyday, I ask you to download and apply Pristine OS. I am sure you'll find it somewhat 'different'. In one word it's 'my' version of windows vista (theme)

Looks very good.

But as I already said on dA: The 'classic' colors (especially active caption, active caption gradient, inactive caption, inactive caption gradient) do not fit to the rest of the theme. That's often overlooked by vs authors. And some programs look ****ty with these colors not matching.

Looks great, am using it now...very good job!

Just curious about the icons and toolbar you used in the screenshot, what might they be?

[Inplode]

Are you using large or extra large fonts? Pristine is only optmized for 'normal' fonts.

This also happens when you unload windowblinds and load up style xp right after that.

I love it! It has a "vista" feel to it, but all small things that make this theme different from a Vista theme (the start menu gloss, the fading on the start menu buttons, etc) really make this theme a keeper. :)

Nice VS. The toolbar backgrounds do look a bit plain.

strange i have none of them bugs

He's using the Large Font size.

[xxdesmus]

nope, font size was set to normal. ...that's odd.

[Mohsin Naqi]

Updated.

[Colin-uk Veteran]

that looks very nice, if a little shiny :)

[martin10018]

Updated.

Great update! The 'classic' colors fit perfectly now!

Edit: Maybe use Extra Large Fonts for a Tahoma Version...

[drahnier]

two problems that might be worth to fix.

[brentaal]

Nice theme, just try fixing those bugs. :)

[ooomph]

spinners are still luna style:

great VS, anyway !

[kombolcha]

plans for a thin and compact version?
