[VS] Win7-Blend for Windows 7


Recommended Posts

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.

Look closer

this vs is very very subtly different, if I can be arsed I'll reply back with screen shots

I apologise if i came off as your work sucks, it doesn't. I wouldn't have the first clue on theming so anything anyone does is better then anything I can currently do haha.

All I was trying to say was that on first glance - there isn't anything that I can see that is different to any other theme out there. When you first apply it, it looks the same as standard Windows theme. - It wasn't until I moused around and clicked a few things that I noticed the subtle differences. Still, in this current form, this theme is not for me.

I will be checking out your squared theme thou when you make it, I love the Clearscreen one atm so if your one is anything like that, I may just jump ship to yours :)

Oh and your picture attachment is showing as a dead link :(

that is weird.. i know about the attachment problem but right now its showing to me all fine :)

anyhow

i was experimenting with the gradient thing i told u about for the menu bar and detail pane.. and here is a teaser :p

it would be something close to this ...

Loving the preview for the next theme Zain.

Here is what I think should be changed so far:

1. Lower border padding a bit. Not to 0, but to maybe 2-3?

2. Make the entire Superbar look seamless. Just make a very SLIGHT line separating the "show desktop" button and the rest of it. But the top of it should have the 1 pixel fixed like how we said with Win7-Blend. :)

3. You should design your own Start menu logo.

4. Font color, etc.

Obviously I know this is like an "alpha" build of your theme in the pic and I look forward to using it, like Win7-Fade. :) Keep it up buddy.

started working on it again..

changed the border a bit .. now the top line is not bright.. its like merged with the shade making it alot more sleeker..

i like this alot. and its gona be this way..

and i also reduced the effect of shade so unselected and selected arent so different.. but the difference will be in the buttons.. caption buttons :)

will work on all that later im just experimenting alot and thinking ideas to make it different yet subtle :)

Hey Zain,

Where can I get the background that's in the screenshot of your theme?

And also, how do I change the icon of the Start Orb?

Did you even bother to go to the DeviantArt page where you download it... gives you the backgrounds... gives you how to change the start orb. ;)

@Zain... thanks man! Can't wait to test it.

Once again, I have to say: Well done on Win7-Blend. I am using it right now. :D

I was just wondering if I could, with your permission of course, use the original Aero x64 file, modify it completely with all the Win7-Blend resources, thus making a 64-bit version of your theme for you? That way your new superbar buttons might work on Windows 7 64-bit.

Edited by WizardCM

well the bug is not because of the different files i think :)

coz ive already checked it

with x64 files and with all others i found and u know that i even had a tester but it just didnt work :(

anyhow i hope the next theme i do the superbar buttons work :)

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
