it's a great style but I like you wanted a little more transparency on the taskbar...the only way I knew how to do it was replace the images in question using Restorer 2007

so I did until I was happy with the end result...I ended up having to do the start menu also though so they matched..:)

just want to say the style is excellent...I only adjusted it for personal choice.

Can you kindly guide me on what image to edit to make my taskbar more transparent (personal use, of course)? I know I can replace an image using restorator, but I have no idea which to replace. :(

and its the final one so i hope it works for u :)

plus ive changed everything to grey from blue.. changed the fonts aswell.

it turns out i did have 1.8, but i have reapplied it now and it seems to work fine.

hope it won't appear again when i reboot.

How could i go about decreasing the transparency on that, or maybe changing it to a shade of gray may look better?

But sorry for nitpicking before i properly thanked you, i think it was said best earlier that the changes are mostly subtle, but they make a huge difference.

All I keep seeing with these windows 7 visual themes is different wall paper showing through the Aero to give you a different color. I'm just not seeing any difference between the different VS's other than wallpaper.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
