Visinti - A VS aimed at non-aero users.


Recommended Posts

Visinti is a visual style aimed for people who can't run Aero or likes the standard UI of Vista(like me; 8800GTS 640, C2D E6600 and 2048mb PC6400, yet I don't use DWM :p). Ofcourse it works on an Aerofied desktop, but yeah... :rolleyes:

There's not much of any change here because I just wanted to have a taskbar and startpanel that actually fit the standard UI of Vista(blue windows with black taskbar? :huh: Tacky...), but I think it came out fairly good.

I would do more to polish it and maybe add some new minimize/maximize buttons, but I'm leaving for 2 weeks, so I have to get packing.

Content of the boring readme no one reads( :lol: ):

This isn't much of a full visual style as it is a new taskbar+startmenu.

I was planing on finishin it as I have the whole theme in a template in Photoshop, but I'm leaving for 2 weeks.

Hopefully someone won't mind. I just felt the need of a skin that wasn't a reskin of Longhorn(yeah, skin/taskbar/start menu. :p).

Long live the taskbars!

I wonder if it is possible to change the max/min/close buttons for the basic theme... Until the buttons can be skinned, I'll stick with Aero or classic :( Nice work though, I would use it if the buttons weren't so ugly.

Totally Agree.

Maybe it's because of the 'thick as hell' window border.

Right-click Desktop > Personalize.

Window color and appearance.

Open classic appearance properties (if you use Aero - if not - it will open for you)

Advanced button

Change "Item" dropbox to "Border padding"

Change to 1

OK yourself out of there

Enjoy smaller borders!

Thats Really Really Really good - now my vista theme looks reasonable, and I've even managed to resize other stuff in there so I can fit more on my low-rez laptop screen.

Thanks :)

    • I can name 10x that on why not to switch.... It's funny outlook/office are going towards web app wrappers, and then MS is now preaching native apps again.... ugh can we just pick a lane and stay in it
    • Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.
