I think it has something to do with the separators for the start panel menu's. The ones that you see when you hover over, as an example, "All Programs".

That wasn't it either. Although the font there were both black and I was able to change the muse over to white but it didn/t help the other menus from both showing up black.

I meant the "All Program" menu from XP, it has a skinned menu which is being used in the menus from Firefox in Vista. Also, those shutdown buttons need to be skinned as well.

I'm not at home right now so I can't check it out in XP now. My laptop only has Vista. I'll see about porting in your shutdown buttons.

Those Shutdown buttons are another Vista bug. Here's the screenshot of them in Skinstudio but obviously they aren't render that way in the finished WB as the previous shot showed.

That's weird :s There has to be a way to have them skinned, because I've seen Vista WB skins that had their own buttons there. Sorry, but I cant allow permission for a WB skin if those aren't skinned on Vista.

If I remember correctly, those can't be changed with a visual style, you have to resource-edit the system DLL containing the images.

You can still release the skin, but you'll have to package it with a pre-modified DLL file so the user can swap it out.

No problem! I just went and looked at some of the VS for Vista and all of the Shutdown buttons are render the same way. Another reason why I like XP better. :)

@tmr250z: I can't add more substyles to this theme. Well I can but I'm not going to because then all the other subtyles should also have the toolbar option. I'll think about the black toolbar buttons. I've tried them already but IMO they should have a color. I'll ask my beta testers.

That's ok, lol, now that I am using the blue toolbar buttons on WE Black, I'm really starting to prefer them over the black ones. :D

@StarLion: Then how does VStyler do it with all of his WB skins?

Oh, you were talking about WindowBlinds skins! Sorry, I thought we were talking about native Windows Vista MSStyles (where a resource edit is the only way to acomplish the change).

WindowBlinds can do it all on its own :)

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
