Hi all,

Nice style i downloaded and installed it, looks great.

I have a (probably very nooby) question however: How do you get the "os x style" taskbar to appear on your desktop (as shown in the screenshots). I'm runnin vista ultimate x64 (don't know if this has anything to do with it).

Thanks in advance for the replys!

You haven't quite read the topic and all its posts have you? :p

Its called a dock, kinda like how the mac os has it. I'm using a program called rocketdock which is freeware and it uses very little system resources. RocketDock HomePage

And here are 2 mirrors to the theme:

Rapidshare

MegaUpload

Lol, Resident one post wonder :rofl:

Nice revision, thanks. Strange how the progressbars in firefox are still green

i thought it was depending on the firefox screen itself? anyway ... i will check these days if i can fix it somehow ... :)

my latest progress:

i made the taskbar a bit less transparent and you get the look which you can see in the screenshot without adjusting colorpres, means you won't lose any window-transparency.

Thanks for alert !!!

uh what's the problem?

there is a txt file in the first .rar file, i decided to leave it out in the latest one because some steps have become obsolete and i thought everyone would know the rest.

here it is basically:

copy aerodiamond-folder (which contains aerodiamond.msstyles file and a folder "\shell\normalcolor\shellstyle.dll) to %windir%\ressources\themes

doubleclick on aerodiamond.msstyles new window will appear, try to chose first "aero" style in the list (not the 2nd one selected by default) - if it doesn't work, chose the 2nd one (selected by default)

you'll find the wallpaper in the aerodiamond0_3.rar btw.

Copy Animation and sidebar as it says in how to install:

The Sidebar doesn't look that much good but the skin is excellent. I got bored of the green progressbar. BTW in firefox using this theme, the browsing progress and download progressbars are green. Would you happen to know of a cure for that?

Nice dock. Which one is that?

I've put the folder AeroDiamond in C:\Windows\Ressources\ and double clicked the .msstyle but still only see one Windows Aero in that list. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

did you patch vista for using customized visual styles?

The taskbar and the sidebar don't change color/style for me...any clue why?

the taskbar should change the color/style as it does here and for many others (hopefully :whistle: ). the sidebar style can only be changed due an extra style - which comes with the first aerodiamond.rar and i added an extra dl link today so you can just grab the sidebar skin there.

Sorry if this is already getting annoying but Firefox doesn't like your theme recoloring much

do you mean the green progressbar? it's firefoxs "problem" not one of the windows style. :shiftyninja:

where i can fin a weather forecast gadget?

check out first post please. :laugh:

@all

i released AeroDiamond Final 1.1 just now.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
