Sorry I forgot another thing, I love the thin taskbar, and the vista start icon, lookin all the themes of the pack 3, you have to choose, for example...

Aero glass (beta 1), the one I use, has dark and thin taskbar, great, but the start button is left aside, if you look the aero glass (beta2), you have dark as in beta one (less dark, i prefer the beta 1 black), and you can choose between normal star button, or vista button, but the taskbar isnt thin, lookin all themes, you have to choose, this taskbar or vista start button, I use the aero glass beta 1 in thin mode, and i love it, but having the vista start button, and the transparent titlebars, would be just perfect, I havent found anything better than your pack, but well, I think things can be always better, so this is my suggestion, instead of using glass2k, implement de transparent effect in startbar and in titlebar if its possible (Ive got no idea of what possibilities you have).

Thanks.

Thanks for suggestions. But there's no way I can make trans border without wb5.

I hate windowsblinds, It crashes my computer, but well, expecting your new visual styles, and if you could do the with both thin bar and vista start button, it would be perfect.

Thanks.

Downloaded it, installed it, rebooted. Works great!

The only problems are that I can't see anything when I log off and the start menu is a bit messed up. Also, transparency goes a little crazy sometimes. But these minor annoyances are still outweighed by the impressive ability of the style! :yes:

Wish I could include a screenshot of it, but for some reason it won't let me attach the file. :unsure:

I was using photoshop just a few minutes ago, and was using a hotkey. I fudged up and pressed the wrong buttons, and it turned my window transparent! It made it become Glass2k'ified. Anybody know what that hotkey might be?

I found it, it's al+ctrl+shift+#1-0 (on the top of the keyboard).

0 being not opaque, and 1 being very opaque.

Is ths OK now?

Yes, but is this only for WB5 or for VS? Where can I get this one at or is this the Aero Style (Glass Beta 2)?

I liked the one "Aero Style (Glass Beta2) - Glass Dark" but the button for the start menu was a tad messed up, it's too small until you click on it then the big one shows up when click on it if nothing else this should reversed if not left as one or the other, The start menu is missing the icons on the left and the "Log Off" button is a tad squared on the start menu. Also the UserName is missing from the top of it, (I really like to see which username I am currently running under without having to hunt for it.) Also, on the bottom of the window where it shows the pictures of the files you're pointing to, is there a way you can move those pictures to the left side since you're not using that area anyways? This may help with the resizing problem of that bar when you click on them, it sometimes fills a great portion of the window when you do that, which isn't a good thing when you're trying to see what's below that. That bar needs to be more stationary too, it shouldn't resize like it's doing. Also the tab area in FireFox, is there a way you can keep that from using the theme, maybe make them a solid color of the theme or something. Also, the taskbar buttons can you reverse the colors when highlighting and normal?

Also, what happened to the "Common Tasks" being at the bottom? I liked it there better, well at least where I could see all of the links, I don't like this one, I can't find my shortcuts this way! Oh and that start menu still needs fixing, the top where the name used to be still has a hidden link that either needs to be removed or the name placed back up there and the pic moved back over and the Turn Off buttons still aren't working right, maybe if you just made that entire area there black may help as well...

After I restarted for the second time it brought me into windows and a command-prompt window came up and said to press any key to continue. I did, and another window came up saying it was building the icons or something. That froze and I was forced to end it. So can anyone help me getting things fixed? Now I just have windows classic style and its semi-clear.

You should have let it finish rebuilding the icons, it works for me and I use a XP3200+ AMD processor running Windows XPSP2, you must've messed up something somewhere along the way...

I can't upload the image because the file size is 576 KB. :crazy: How did you manage to keeps yours around 200 KB?

Use lower image quality.

is it possible to use this pack to change only the icon files?

Yes. Just set only for icons.

Also, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons are a little screwed up, like the color is black until you point at them.

It was so rushed that time so I forget to fix it. Will fix in the next release.

I used JPEG and it was the lowest quality I could think of.

Will you also fix the Windows Vista logon screen and the start menu (which acts strangely when I don't handle it right (maybe it's the transparency?) and has icons half-cut off)?

Anyway, great job, this was way better than the old Windows XP. ;)

Just to let you know, this seems to happen only with Aero Style (Glass - Beta 2) and some others.

BTW, Luna (Longhorn Revolution) is a really nice alternative to XP-lovers. Great job with that one.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
