[VS] Win7-Blend for Windows 7


Recommended Posts

Love the new beta thus far... I have a few suggestions that I left on your deviantart page for it... also; when you hover over the "Show Desktop" button there is no hover change, is that what you wanted? I think a slight change when you hover over it would make it better though. Maybe a gradient on the Preview square when you hover over an open program would be nice, one that matches the top of your Title Bars. :)

hello guys..

here is a little peek at what ive done today

im done with the top and bottom bars inside window...

the grey area status bars..

and its final. because i am very happy with them.

Well, the sky blue color looks very good to me.

with the 'download progress bar' most designers opt for a blue or a green...they generally choose an 'easy on the eyes' colour to compliment their theme...

maybe it's time to experiment with a bolder colour as 'Decaytion' suggests.

Smart man right here.

well that is just what i think..

i would love to see u edit my screenshot with photoshop and paint over it the way u want the HDD space bars to be..

and the download bars will be the same but green..

so i am all open for suggestions.

actually I did post a screenshot earlier but for some reason it looks like it was removed from my post...

I will post it again here with various colours but I'm more than happy to go along with whatever you choose...it is after all your design and a damned good one at that :)

well i know about the bug..

dont worry this beta is just for ppl who wana take a close look at the theme. Not for day to day use :)

and Mike!!..

wow..

that is exactly what im talkin about!!

well

i tried what u did on DRIVE H

but i found it tooo boring.. lifeless

then i tried F but with blue color. it wasnt what i wanted.

but i love ur DRIVE L and DRIVE E

ill go with DRIVE L..

what do u ppl say??

green for everything?? except the red for harddrive full???

ok there is something wrong with the forums...the font size has reduced SO MUCH!!.. :s

and guys.. i think the green i went with is pretty good i dont want it to be very shiny.. or glass-like

anyhow.. :)

in the meanwhile i was bored tonight to work on the theme.. so i did the superbar icons instead. i made 6 icons for myself which i pin to the superbar in SQUARE.. and they are totally done by me. And im working on a square startorb based on the microsoft store logo. :)

i hope i can get past the alpha channel thing that goes over my head.

and i did the icon just like their default ones so its not so different that it feels changed. Just squared ;)

but yes had to do a little new concept on the Internet Explorer icon :)

here is a screen shot :)

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
