APH-Alex Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Is there a way to get this for Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiD a Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Is there a way to get this for Vista? I believe if you use Windowblinds & Skinstudio by Stardock you can import .msstyles from XP. But I hear it generally does a muck job. You might want to try it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HU6H Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 This should be listed as a mod of Nion 2 by lassekongo83. Look at the Start button.... and pretty much everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to lasse, but I don't think he invented dark caption bars & taskbars, & the square winflag has been around since Hmm XP which is at least 4 years old. How about trying it out & looking a little deeper before offering such a critical opinion. By the way everything is 100 percent from scratch, a trained eye will see the differences are obvious. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakuraKira Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 This should be listed as a mod of Nion 2 by lassekongo83. Look at the Start button.... and pretty much everything else. I tried this VS out for a bit and didn't think it was based off of Nion at all, and I am a HUGE lassekongo fan. If you would look through all of the various minimal visual styles on devinatART and Customize, you will find dozens of visual styles that are similar to each other that come from the same lines of thought: milky, simple black and white lines, smooth gradients, Luna, Apple, Clearlooks, Vista, and the list goes on. Some themes are better than others. That is to say, that their creators took more time and care, and put more thought into their theme, than someone else might have who made somthing that looked similar. Just because something appears similar, or has the same aesthetic values, doesn't mean it's a mod or a rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylejn Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The start button looks identical, but it's such a simple design that you can't really prove anything one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiD a Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 The start button looks identical, but it's such a simple design that you can't really prove anything one way or the other. Sure you can open them up with either resedit or stylebuilder if you are that curious. The only thing it will prove is my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simieski Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Id just like to say this should not be listed as a mod!!!! I used SlanXP2 and Nion by lasse which are both great styles, but if u use it a lot u will realise these are quite different. Start button is a windows sign, dont see how thats copying lasse, in fact the buttons are different in the way they interact with mouse over and clicks. Thanks for what is imho the best vs made yet!

Impact Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 It looks very nice. If only people would start making themes like this for vista! I'm craving minimalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veduuu Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I think I found a bug....or something after running your new theme (which by the way looks great) I couldn't run the program Rhinoceros 4 anymore....this never happened to me before although I'm switching themes pretty often... only after I reset the theme to the previously one I used I could run the program again.... I it is of any interest for you I could try to find out more info and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsupersonic Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 so i really like this theme and would like to know how to go about installing it since theres no .msstyles file or anything...does reshacker provide tools to install themes? The msstyles are there, just look in the folder VS Original or VS Mods, and there are subfolders and then just move those to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes.

Beoulve Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hmm, for some reason the font on my Opera got way bigger. when I swapped back to default XP skin they went small again. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hmm, for some reason the font on my Opera got way bigger.when I swapped back to default XP skin they went small again. Any ideas? I think it has to do with the font that is set with theme, try changing it around and see what that does. I remember dealing with that quite a while ago but I don't remember what my fix was exactly.
