I'm Spanish. When I put this theme with START TEXT in START MENU, i see logo + "START" but I want logo + "INICIO" (start in spanish). With others themes is OK but this one only I can see START.

Why?

Thanks for the theme. Waiting black theme!!!!!!

It's because the start button image has 'Start' on it - it's not text. It would be quite simple to edit the start button and add Inicio instead (you'd have to widen the image a bit), and then change the widths in ResEdit. Maybe Capric0rn can expand on this? :p

OK. thanks. I will find and edit this file.....o I will choose the theme without START! :D

things are good. :) was using vista for a while there so i stopped checking on xp styles for a while. i'll try to post more often though. ;)

Cool, glad to see you active on the forums ;)

Capric0rn - I finally decided to post, excellent job on the theme (Y)

Radish?

First of all, great thanks for this visual style! Watercolor has always been my all-time-favorite. Looking very much forward to the ergonomic style :woot:

Like any 3rd party visual style, the minimize to tray button in Everest is borked up. You may have a solution for it?

I thought that was a simple "True/False" checkbox in Stylebuilder. I haven't looked at it for a while, so can't remember exactly where to look. I'll update once I get a chance to have a look.

@StyleWarz: I know how to fix it but it would just take more time when I want to make more color schemes etc. And there aren't manu applications that uses those buttons.

@fernand: I wanted the startbutton to have Cleartype AND the Emico icon. So I had to put the text into the startbutton. I can't make startbuttons for other languages. Sorry..

@Radish™: Thanks! :D

@Zoom7000: Luna uses buttons for the captions seperated from the glyphs. Therefor applications can use those blue caption buttons for other buttons. In my visual style the glyphs are made into the captionbuttons so there are no "clean" caption buttons in my visual style.

@tehmemories: It's a known problem which I can't do a thing about.

I literally when 'OOOOH' when I saw the screenshot for Ergo. :laugh:

I was actually considering going through ALL the resources of Blue to make it a little darker... But now that I see this, it's perfect! Thanks!

Thanks once again for all the great comments! :D

On a side note: I'm going to update Ergonomic Blue this weekend with new buttons. I'm also going to update all the orange controls. I'm not to fond of the orange color that I've used.

Edit:

Here's a preview of the orange that I want to use for the hovered button:

No problem mate, thanks for answering though! Great job on the ergonomic color! (Y)

In Dutch you guys say: "Erg goede gedaan, en vele bedankt!"

(No Dutch is not native language, so pardon my grammar... :pinch: )

Since I'm on Vista, this will have to do:

The edits I made to the converted msstyle-to-WBA file were mainly font related. No more Tahoma and Segoe UI in 8 points. Also resized the Start Menu to Vista like proportions.

The black-bar-on-top-of-windows bug exists only in non DWM mode and for child MDI windows.

This is a rough hack, so anyone that wants the converted WBA file please PM me. Even better if you can take it and fix up the remaining UI bugs.

Overall, nice VS. (Y) Hopefully someone can make a native Vista msstyles port so I don't have to put up with all these ugly UI bugs that riddle Windowblinds's engine.

^See, that's what I meant with converted XP Visual Styles. IF someone asked me for permission to release a WB or Vista port then those shutdown buttons have to be skinned and the fonts have to be set to Tahoma.

Thanks for the comment though :) Can you show me how your Firefox toolbar and menus look? Someone else here on Neowin made a port to WB which had a few strange bugs in Firefox.

I prefer Calibri myself but to each his own :whistle: .

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
