Wow, no typing in bold?

So does this annoy you?

Grow up fella and let the mods run the boards, thats what they are there for

it was a typo

i mean stop WRITING THE TITLE OF THE THREAD IN CAPS IT IS annoying

that it

It's neat, but no trial? Really?

If anyone buys this (?16.50), please tell us about it. I'm not ready to splurge that amount of money on something that I have never used.

He also explicitly states that he won't answer any questions unless it deals with bugs...

No trial = warez version

Wow, the lengths people will go to to justify pirating software. Why not just be honest and say your a cheap a-hole and screw little indie developers?

I've had a beta of the program a while ago, and im telling ya - it is handy! I've always hated Segoe UI in Aero, and with Vista Style Builder i managed to change EVERY font to Tahoma, size 8.. you may think "meh lol" but trust me, the program has a lot of features and you can do so much with it that'd take ages by hex editing and ****.

Actually that is euro's... so yea about $22.

A trial version would have been a good idea to broaden your potential customer possibility.

How well does it's "import from XP msstyles" feature work? I'm curious to see what the output looks like...

Window frames and the Start menu don't work perfectly. Controls seem to work really well. For me that's a big plus as so far very few styles change the UI widgets.

Time for all you designers to start making better Vista themes so I can finally dust off my copy of Vista :p .

Scirwode

idas (or a mod) it'd be better to use an up to date image. Rather than one that's probably during the first builds.

Yes it's legit for those who are weary.

If you have questions on how to add certain parts email me at [email protected]

For those who might be wondering what all you can do, here's a little fun gathering of things I created while I had free time from bug testing and naming things for it.

IE Text Glow (Note: IE8 doesn't read from the theme as much as IE7. Glow only works on hover in IE8.)

Address bar glow (Overkill on the opacity in this screen. Opacity is adjustable.)

Wow didn't know you could make those kinds of changes to Vista's themes..

Again I believe there needs to be a trial version, not as many people will buy this if there isnt, and not a crippleware, a real trial version.

i would love to see something like what luna looks like after an import
What I really like to see is how XP msstyles look like in Vista.

Here you go :) only tweak is the border padding was set to 0.

As you can see it's pretty good but not perfect. It is though an excellent base to work from.

    • Exactly what I was thinking. All of a sudden in span of a month multiple CEO's from scam altman to this clown has had sudden change of heart does not seem organic change lol
    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
    • Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
    • I am also on latest experimental with possible insider flags on and aiming in settings for 26h1.. Also see just this wasted space. I do love "movable" small taskbar though but would love more if it had date next to it now just time.
    • Does not make it more readable for me though. The majority of your screenshot is just pitch black.
