Vista R7 Beta 1 by ~downtheory

Posted my first .msstyles them for Vista over at deviantart and thought I would post it here for my fellow Neowinians.

This theme is in beta stage right now and its mostly an Aero mod. No resources ripped from other artists, all my own work. Hope you all enjoy this. :)

not bad

I love it! Running it now! The Start icon and taskbar are very good.

One thing I really don't like though is that the system tray icons are really high...they should be much lower down near the bottom edge of the screen, they look so out of place where they are.

Apart from that, bloody brilliant!

I agree I really like the theme, but the icons in the system tray being so high is kinda annoying.

Thanks for the all the comments everyone. :)

All of the suggestions have be noted as well.

I do plan on updating this theme again sometime in the near future.

Now that I have more knowledge of how everything works.

Feel free to check out my deviantart page in my sig, I have a new theme up now. :)

Ok, so I'm a n00b at all this, but I can't seem to get the theme working.

I applied the UXTHEME patch restarted, unzipped your file, placed it in the THEmes folders and then double-clicked on .msstyles and I see zero changes to my Theme? When I double click it takes me to the color-scheme window and I click OK.

What am I missing? Do you have any third party apps running?

Thanks

EDIT...so I went and manually selected your Theme, but I'm not getting that very clear transparency like I see in your example.

Meetloaf:

If you are running Vista Home Basic, or anything lower than Ultimate, you may not be able to see the transparency as well.

And if you don`t have a very good video card it will not display properly either.

But otherwise, maybe something got corrupted. You may need to re-download and re-apply and see if that changes anything.

Let me know if this worked or not. Will do my best to help you out. :)

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
