ProiektHat Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Basically i was a little fed up of aero default but i couldn?t find any VS that did fit my taste and sometimes i found it but it was not usable. So i decided to make a transparent but usable theme to personnal use. But i received quite of pm?s about one post on desktop screenshot threads, so i thought maybe it was a good Idea to share this VS.... i tweaked the VS a little more and i think now it?s time to know some opinions. I used Bubbito?s skulls as a template. Maximized Window Edited October 4, 2008 by sisiphus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted October 4, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted October 4, 2008 It is kind of neat. Go for it. All they can say is no. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProiektHat Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Updated a little...changed caption buttons. I think this buttons looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Star Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 o.O GREAT looking theme! :D Good job! Share when you are done. :D Edit: I liked the first maximize, minimize, and close buttons. :p That's just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoJD Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hmmm, make the windows feel more solid. Darken up the borders possibly. Good theme though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted October 5, 2008 MVC Share Posted October 5, 2008 Great work, I might actually try a new VS out for Vista! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skulltrail-old Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Everything except the start button looks good; too small. If it were normal sized, this would be my all time favorite visual style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Advancer Subscriber² Posted October 5, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted October 5, 2008 Oh, I cant wait to try this one out :) I do like the latest caption buttons - im not too fond of color coordination only :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerhomie Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Very cool. Keep going with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate99 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Agreed, I like the second set of caption buttons. May I suggest: 1. Have a different orb for the start button, instead of the default circle have a square style one? Maybe a 4 small squares oriented a stylish way? 2. Since the you have straight corners for the start menu, could you make straight corners for the windows instead round corners/edges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I love the original maximize/minimize/close buttons way better than the second ones you chose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I love it! If you have a x64 version, I'll definately be using it! I just don't like the arrows for minimize and maximize. I'd go for a minimalistic line/box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProiektHat Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 New start button...square stylish. The owner of longhorn stream didn?t allow me to use it...so i had to make one from scratch...for now this is what i came up with...caption buttons are not final.

Ambroos Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Startbutton is a little too bright for the overall watercholorishness of the style... I'd wash the colors a little. Design looks great though! (not sure if watercolorishness is a word) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadBoat89 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 definitely one of the more polished themes out there! keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted October 7, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2008 I personally don't like it when people change the maximize, minimize, close buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S. Global Moderator Posted October 7, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2008 this looks pretty cool. minimalistic.... i like the modded Start icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck84 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 This is actually the first theme I'd consider to install for Vista. Great job! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooSH Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 ewww. The first min/max/close buttons were the best! good idea on the squareish start button, but i think you're not doing it correctly. everything else is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xor van Dorf Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Maybe you could add a small height version of the taskbar. The original start button is ready for it! It looks really great, but with the normal sized taskbar, it's a big turn off for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown_97784568745 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I really like this theme. :) My opinion: I would like the caption buttons to be a bit bigger and at the edge of the window. Keep up the good work! Startbutton is a little too bright for the overall watercholorishness of the style... I'd wash the colors a little. Design looks great though! I'd rather have it like this, makes the start button stand out a little. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
