It's kinda unusal. I kinda like it. Although, I /did/ just drink a couple of pints...

VERY cool Andy! Awesome job. Good job with the likeness to the MS suite.

Thanks! Only chocolate milk here!

Anyone else having problems with the mouseover on "Log off' and "shutdown"? Also, in the screenshot it says "Turn off computer". On my computer it says "shut down"... This must be why.

Edit: I have the classic logon screen. So it must be a bug?

same here, I have all the fonts and the start menu is borked. (classic logon too)

[hornett]

Ah right, I'd forgotten that text could change, will fix that today & re-upload!

Apologies & Thanks for all the comments (!?!?!) :p

Edit: DeviantArt is in read-only mode for maintenance, will post it when I'm back from uni!

[mitchmalibu]

hornett,

Thx for checking on it! The VS is awesome. Don't think I'm ever switching from it :)

Update: Altered Start menu to allow for the text length changing. Unfortunately this means losing the 'buttons' on the lower pane and replacing them with icons.

The download on dA is still the old version...

Anyway: Thanks for this very, very good visual style. I really appreciate it!

Oopsie! Fixed (Y)

The text will read "Turn off computer" if you don't log into a domain. I assume you're buggering around with your work computer? I do it, too. So far IT hasn't gotten mad at me... :D

Awesome VS :) Thanks for this, always loved the new office 2007 style

[martin10018]

You should set the Toolbar Fillcolor to the same value as the Menubar (193 202 216 in the blue style). Otherwise it looks odd in some programs (grey toolbar background).

Text reads "shut down" for a classic logon no matter what, since I don't have a domain at home. Maybe because i turned fast user switch off

I AM using this VS at work though, and it confuses the heck out of IT folks logging in remotely (like one did today to troubleshoot an issue I had). They're like, uh u got Vista on here!!

I hate working on generic Windows tho! :o

Thx hornett for the update.

Congratulations on the release! I'm using it right now.

One minor thing though. I just don't like the start button for the blue version.

Issues:

If you use the startbar at the top like I do...

The max(?) doesn't show correctly...

[hornett]

That is why the traditional start button is there! ;)

As for the max button, not sure why that is. Thanks for the report. Which app is that?

[mitchmalibu]

Not sure if it's a bug but it's been bugging since I've been using this vs : scrollbars looks misaligned (or too small by 1 pixel to the left).

[ciaran00]

As for the max button, not sure why that is. Thanks for the report. Which app is that?

App is Photoshop. Those windows are the toolbar type windows. The max doesnt show properly and also it's obvious in the black one... when focus is taken away from the windows, the X button still looks like it would on a focussed window. There probably just needs to be new resources for the toolbar type windows for the Max and the X buttons... i am not that knowledgeable :|

You could probably just make those look like the styles pane in word 2k7

Here is a screenshot:

And the min/max/close buttons for substyles don't fit...

[oddbasket]

As for the max button, not sure why that is. Thanks for the report. Which app is that?

Those are the size 6 glyphs for the buttons. You shift the normal sized buttons and that glyph moves as well. Only the small close button is independent. Most likely you need to undo shifting of your buttons, the glyph will return to its place.

And nice work :)

[hornett]

Thanks oddbasket. Think I got it sorted.

I've updated the original link to fix the scrollbars, the toolbar colour and the mini window, plus a few other little fixes.
