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.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area   
    • memories! completely forgot about alcohol 120%!!!! man this list just makes me think of all the exciting times! everything's become so sterilized these days.
