It doesn't look that much different than the default theme.... You can change the window color to be a closer match (if not identical) to the one in the pictures; the only real difference I can see is the taskbar and sidebar, which are translucent white, not translucent black, and the sidebar has a definitive edge on the left side of it instead of fading to nothing.

Am I not seeing what makes this so different?

THANK YOU FOR RE POSTING THESE PHOTOS! I have been looking all over for them and the old topic got archived somewhere... Ok. Yes! I love this theme and I'm hoping somebody makes this for the upcoming window blinds for Vista. In any case, I'll take a shot at it when the time comes. YAY!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since Windowblinds for Vista has come out I have been eagerly awaiting this visual style. I really like how this looks. However, I can swear I've seen a sidebar skin that mimics that one though. I'll look for it, and post if I can find it.

EDIT: http://www.download.joejoe.org/index.php?s...5b610bbc638a89e

The next to last one is an imitation of the sidebar. Now we just need to wait for a WB skin.

Yeah, this looks AMAZING... Of all the few themes available for Vista NONE have a clean, professional look. I'd even pay for it if someone ported this concept to WindowBlinds 5.5. The only minor thing I don't like about it is the rounded search button, it should be a rectangle like the address bar sitting right next to it.. The other thing I LOVE about this theme is that the taskbar is not horizontally spanned across the entire screen. Imagine if a person had 2 monitors though, and the taskbar would continue on to the next display and then "close" it. That would be pretty nice! :woot:

Wow, that looks great! I really wish Microsoft would release it!

That new flip3d thing with soft shadows and a blurred out background looks amazing! Vista is capable of it, as evidenced by the pictures, so Microsoft should release it for people to play with. It'd generate some buzz for sure.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
