RokN Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Finally glass for XP. While it may not be the real thing, its very cool. I think this will get me by until wb 5. Check this thread for more info: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chorpeac MVC Posted September 20, 2005 MVC Share Posted September 20, 2005 interesting, looks nice. I think I am going to wait for the vista code to be ready though...I can wait. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caerma Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Works fine, but the text at the top left of the screen is a bunch of rectangles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedom77 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ok wait a second this is not glass. Just look at Vista its not just a see though border, its blurred, and shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caerma Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Open the WB Advanced Configuration dialog then select "User Overrides" then "All skin defined fonts to be replaced by:" and select Arial Unicode MS, which is included with XP Pro (I'm assuming that it's also included on XP Home.) The apply the setting. Works! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albemuth Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I would recommend NOT using this theme as using it completely FUBARed my system. When I set it on the "dynamic" variation of the theme it locked up immediately and I had to do a hard reboot. Just a warning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokN Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 oh...forgot yes you to change the fonts, other than that it runs fine. I know its not vista or even wb5 but its the closest thing we have right now.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 not really the glass effect..more like the see through effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreqFace Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 This doesn't look good at all, just makes the windows harder to see. Are there any plans on a visual style of this? 586553736[/snapback] I'm pretty sure that isn't possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brotherrabbit Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ya I have to agree, this isn't really anything special. There isn't effect like there will be in vista, and let's be honest, Luna Element 4 is the best you can get right now anyway ;) Might as well stay with what works. Good try though Skin owner, not quite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimkraz Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I have this WindowBlind on both my machine and my wife's, changed the Font, all works very well, the best effort I have seen yet at Vista Glass theme, there is a Visual Theme available, follow the link " iyiniyin" has put on his submission at Wincustomize, it will take you to a Visual Theme called NGlass, not a bad looking theme. I have not seen the REAL Vista Glass effect yet, but I'm sure this comes close to looking like it, He's done a good job with this Windowblind.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsrPimp Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 the words at top of toolbar are either v!sta or [][][][][][][][][] etc and its lookn gay, once thats fixed ill use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wratho Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 ^ check the first page to solve your problem ;) and...is this a glass effect? :no: :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkraz Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 PsrPimp, have a look at www.wincustomize.com, for instructions on how to change your text in Windowblinds settings, once done, you will have correct text on all top bars. This has been discussed in detail in the comments about this skin. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3nuo Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 this doesn't really do it for me.. im glad people like it coz i know it is a lot of work to do that since I make WindowBlinds myself but it almost detracts from usability because there's no blur to set the windows apart.. obviously because XP is incapable of this. But it's cool to use for when you just feel like messing around :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
