Denis W. Veteran Posted July 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2008 N.B. Not my work. Just linking to it. About the ProductSteelFlash is a professional and elegant visual style for Windows Vista, with calm colors and style. Is one of the most customizable visual style because a revolutionary mode to modify the parts of the visual style. On the screenshot you can see all the included features. One unique Visual Style 1 Windows Media Player new GUI 2 Sidebar Styles 3 Logon Screens 5 Different Taskbars 6 Taskbar Buttons Styles 7 Context Buttons Styles 8 Start Buttons 35 Windows Media Player Taskbars browseui.dll Patcher oobefldr.dll Patcher wmploc.dll Patchers Author's Comments As promised, SteelFlash Final is Finally here... This project required me a lot of hard work, more than ever, because is not only my first Visual Style, but it also contains a new way to modify the appearance of the visual style: the Patchers. Making Patchers is a bit complex, because the author have to think what resources will be replaced. I've used this method because is really flexible and requires only a part of the normally required space. This is the first application on visual styles (as far as I know), so please test it, and remember to backup your files, specially for the system files. Download SteelFlash Final for Vista 32-bit Haven't tried it on my system, but it looked pretty nice on my friend's x86 Vista box. On 64-bit there's still a few graphical glitches.

Jay! Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I had to edit like 50 system files to try get it to look like the one in the screenshot, and it was still buggy. This skin gets a thumbs down from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumthrasher109 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Really? It took me maybe 10 minutes to get everything the way I wanted and it's extremely customizable: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay! Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Really? It took me maybe 10 minutes to get everything the way I wanted and it's extremely customizable: The start bar looks like crap, The buttons span over 2 types of start bar, it looks so ugly. Maybe if the dark grey bit at the bottom spanned accross the whole thing it would be alright. Also the top of explorer looks so plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumthrasher109 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 What do you mean by the top of explorer being plain? The buttons in the actual theme (for the startbar) are centered, I don't know how to get mine centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay! Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I dont think they would look that nice centered anyway. To center, i think he just made his Quick Launch wider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Nice very nice!!! Just perhaps a couple of request if these are doable.. 1. Is there anyway to have a big taskbar like sidebar-example.jpeg, BUT looking like the first taskbar that defaults with the theme. Eg. it doesn't reach the end of the screen, dockish looking. 2. anyway to customize min and max buttons? ( + 1 for the plain top part ? Love the windows flag button with no orb!
