CrashG Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm using this theme and I love it. However, is it possible to remove the background image seen in the transparent windows?This is what I'm talking about: <image snipped> Nope, that's part of the theme. If you move the window around you'll notice that it changes also. Can anyone help with my question a few posts above this one? I'd really like my user pic to be half on/off the start menu.

downtheory Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 EpidemiK Yes I can take the image out of the background. No problem at all. :) I just have to modify the stream file. CrashGordon Umm...that`s default for me. Have no clue why really. Are you running Vista Ultimate? Doubt that would have anything to do with why your user pic is all the way inside the menu.

gaabrysz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Is it possible to make the start menu button transparent ?? And if yes how can u do it ?? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/631317-aero-theory-final/page/2/#findComment-589409083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtheory Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 gaabrysz Yeah, it`s possible to make almost any element of Vista transparent. The start button can definitely be transparent. It`s quite a process though. If you can hold on a bit (meaning maybe a week or so), I will modify Aero Theory some more and do another release. There were some elements I felt could have been better in the end. Especially the start menu/button. I`m my own worst critic :D.

Dance. Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Nice theme (Y). The top left corner looks a bit badly done (Could be just me) and if I'm using a double sized taskbar the start button appears in the middle, if it wasn't for these two reasons i would've been using your theme right now :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/631317-aero-theory-final/page/2/#findComment-589409583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaabrysz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Great to hear that downtheory :) Ill wait for it. Just make the start button transparent. Leave the flag but loose the black colour around it.

CrashG Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 CrashGordonUmm...that`s default for me. Have no clue why really. Are you running Vista Ultimate? Doubt that would have anything to do with why your user pic is all the way inside the menu. Yes, I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit. I was just wondering if there was something I needed to do to make it like that. I like the Start Button, but I would like to see a thinner Start Menu if that's possible. The default Vista one just seems huge (close to 4.5" wide @ 1280x1024).

downtheory Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 CrashGordon: I will look into seeing what can be done about the start menu size. Since you pointed that out, I see what you mean, it is rather huge at 1280x1024 resolution. Never noticed until now. gaabrysz: Will post the updated theme once finished. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/631317-aero-theory-final/page/2/#findComment-589410425 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashG Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks for your time and effort. If the menu could be made smaller (maybe 3.5" or 3.75") it would be ok. Of course, once I get a 22" WS monitor it may not be a issue anymore. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/631317-aero-theory-final/page/2/#findComment-589411309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashG Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I figured out why my User Icon is completely in the menu, it's because I have the Taskbar on the side. It'll be half on/off the menu if I put the taskbar at the top or bottom. Although there is plenty of room for it. Just one more quirk of Vista I suppose. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/631317-aero-theory-final/page/2/#findComment-589450700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtheory Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Good to know you figured that one out. :) Was worried something might have been wrong.

downtheory Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Soon. :) A lot has come up in my personal life that`s preventing me from working on VS`s as much as I`d like to.

roadgeek9 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Only if I had a better computer that could run Vista (my laptop can run Vista, but very slowly (despite being middle-of-the-road 3 years ago)).
