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?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
