Thanks again everyone :D

@tehmemories: I'm sorry but I don't what you mean. Do you mean the space between the start button and the task button?.

@russellc: I'm planning on releasing that next week :)

@Ji@nBing: I can't port it myself because I don't have Vista.

Also, I've posted some info in the frist post, regarding shellstyles and contribution to the skin plus a link to some more info :)

I've been working on a WindowBlinds port for those who use Vista, and all is going well... There's just ONE little problem. [And I'm not sure if this would happen in WindowBlinds XP, but if you're using Windows XP I'm not sure why you'd want a WB version...] Anyway, here's what happens:

There's a thin black bar above the titlebars of windows. I don't know why, exactly. My only guess is that the default window titlebar thickness in Vista is a little bigger than in XP, and so it's trying to compensate. I'll try to fix that. I'll work on it this weekend.

Thanks Capric0rn for the awesome skin, I'll talk to you first [with screenshots!] before I make any attempt at releasing this.

@skelly831: The new LE scrollbars are the same as the Watercolor Emico scrollbars. He used my design to creat those :)

@Yggdrasilly: The Visual Styles uses magic pink up there. Maybe Windowblinds wants to have that totally transparent. Oh.. and fix those caption buttons :rofl:

1. Some pallet frames arent drawn the correct way.(Application bug)

3. Multi row taskbar does not look good. (Theme)

1. Are you referring also to the caption buttons on pallet windows, such as in Photoshop?

Since the caption buttons in this, and the ones in LE 5 Black are in the same style (ie a row of sunken buttons set on a shiny background), I think you could use the same technique here for the small captions, as in LE 5 Black.

3. Multi row looks fine to me o.O.

Anyway, as I mentioned on devART, excellent work!

FANTASTICO!

edit: I'm not too crazy about this little "lip" on the bottom of the startbar.

*image snip*

I think that was done to enhance the 3D gloss effect. This theme has the sharpest gloss lines of any I have ever seen, it's eye-catching! The bitmaps for that should be easily edited though. If you change the alignment of the gloss line though, make sure to edit all taskbar bitmaps, AND the taskbar buttons, or they will look misaligned.

@SakuraKira: I have no application that uses all the small caption buttons. That's why I can't make the look correct. Do you know a freeware app that uses those small caption buttons?

Thanks to euphoricallydead on deviantART I'm currently working on a update which has a nicer taskbar for multi-row taskbars. It will also have a fix for the small frames.

Also, I might have some new toolbar buttons. I'm not so sure about them yet but here's a preview:

Edit:

Small caption buttons are also going to be fixed! :D

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
