It HAS a black substyle... :x

You can even see it in the screenshot in the first post. :angry:

I am indeed looking forward to an update to this great VS. There are some other bugs that I'd like to report, but I suppose they can wait till you're ready for them. Do let me know ya.

cheers!

Been using this exclusively since the first release. I sometimes switch between black and blue. I would really appreciate if you find the time to add the silver Office 2007 substyle. :D

See what I can do ;)

Edit: Post any bugs you find in a convenient list here for me and I'll try and whack through them as soon as I get a minute.

So far the only one I can think of is with disable titlebar buttons having too much highlight on the black theme.

Somebody asked for a version with larger fonts, not sure I can do that really. In order to create some of the effects used in this theme, I had to do some some things which unfortunately making resizing difficult. I will have a look though.

hornett, for large fonts users, try doing a 120dpi substyle instead with large icons compatible. It's short work to resize and align the just the start menu and caption bars.

just a suggestion. :)

Nice work with this VS. It's very clean and easy on the eyes-something I value a lot staring at a computer screen. I don't see how anyone says the taskbar is too fat-I run at 1024x768 res. and it looks fine. :)

[Saint Shiv]

A true "complete" visual style, very smooth and clean. VERY COMPLETE. I'm going to try to find a Firefox and Foobar skin to match, I don't necessarily love Office 2007 but it surely looks nice system-wide themed.

Thanks a lot!

ps.+looks nice on my native 1440x900, it feels really weird saying that. I'm soooooooo used to saying 1280x1024!

I think certain buttons are not wide enough to display all the text required for it. I'm using the black theme with the new Office 2007 fonts option. Since I've never edited themes before, I'm not really sure how better to describe this problem so I'll just attach screenshots to show some examples of this.

I also have a suggestion... would it be possible to get the 2-tone taskbar

and title bar

to have a smoother gradient from bottom to top so that it doesn't look like 2 colours but rather like a smooth gradient?

Thanks!

Reducing it will make it look like Royale. This is office.

Still working on bugs, but also started the grey version (still needs quite a bit of work!)

BTW: Have a look here:

Although the vs itself is badly executed I like the startbutton area. Maybe something like this could be an alternative for the "traditional start button"?

amazing! thanks you :)

Improvement (Y) or regression (N)? :)

For the old style startbutton: YES

For the "new" startbutton: NO

(Y)

[ramian]

I think it's a regression. What I currently like about your start button is the white contrast background, which kinda makes it stand out on the taskbar and make it seem more like a start button rather than just another icon on the taskbar. I also like how yours is the only VS (AFAIK) which has a round start button which "grows" when you click on it and DOESN'T require another program to have it displayed properly.

Any news on this, Andy?

Yeah, still tidying up a few bits and bobs :) Just finished my degree finals so I have a bit more time on my hands from today :D

[martin10018]

Congrats!

[serenityrule1515]

yeh i agree with martin...the start button that he suggested looks awesome.

wot sort of shellstyle are u using?

make it a top shellstyle...maybe black..blue or silver.......those always look awesome and move away from the traditional left/right side shellstyles

thx..hope my suggestion is looked at.....CHEERS
