Great Mod man!

but I have a question. I followed you tutorial on making VS for vista (great read by the way. short and to the point). But I had a couple of problems:

1. I tested my understanding on the windows orb. after I extracted the right images I used photoshop to edit them, and just to make sure I used the alpha converter app too. This was fine. but when I put them back in the file, and then loaded the theme, I got the terrible white background. To check matters futher I went back to photoshop and cropped the relevant files so they'd have no empty areas beyond the image itself. This removed the background, but pushed the orb to the side of he screen, as now it didn't have that space that was defined in the image file.

2. I really want to use you thin taskbar template, but for some reason I don't see any difference between the normal and max transparency version. Can you maybe show me which resource in your template I need to edit (wither image or text) in order to make the taskbar a. matt looking b. transparent.

I really respect your efforts for this community by the way. You are a true sharer.

cheers.

Quick question. Is this open to the community to mod?

I planned on doing something like this for my next VS. So would that be alright to download and modify?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this for me.

Try reading the thread. The answer is already there.

I really want to use this, I'd love a thinner task bar but I get this message from VistaGlazz:

"One or more of the VistaGlazz essential system files are corrupt."

Should I try re-downloading and re-installing the application or try a different method to patch my system?

    • Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.
    • Yeah Patchou was an active member here, good ol' times indeed.
    • Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
