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 :)

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
