[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.

ok for all the people who wana try my theme ive put of a beta <img src="https://cdn.neowin.com/forum/uploads/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Now I swtch to Win7-Shine from Win7-Blend now :rolleyes:

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 :)

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
