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.

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.

    • Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
    • I'd basically agree. The only point I would add is to be careful not to treat science as a religion, complete with priests, dogma, and blasphemy. Humans are highly susceptible to religious-oriented ways of thinking since it aids in forming communities of like-minded people. The problem is that when this happens, nobody wants to be ostracized from the group by saying that a deeply-held idea is wrong. Science and "peer review" are not immune to this behavior, unfortunately. In the end, finding truth is our own responsibility and we can't depend on others to hand it to us. Skepticism is key, along with curiosity and the willingness to critically evaluate and consider ideas both new and old.
