savedandfamous Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I think I see why Microsoft uses the black, to give something dramatic to the theme, but I think a whit etaskbar should be an option. Can you make the taskbar a bit more frosted? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/470827-new-theme-for-vista-beta2/#findComment-587615223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnyhp Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) It’s good that you can change color in Vista. It effect the title bare good. But the dark taskbar and start menu looks bad when you change the color in the original Vista theme. But when you use “see true glass” like in my skin, then the effect is very good. I post some pictures here. Color 1 Color 2 Color 3 Color 4 Color 5 Color 6 Color 7 Color 8 Color 9 That’s why I made this new glass skin, I don’t care to much about the none glass part, I do it just for fun. I will not change the glass part much, because as you can see, and you inform, you can change the color yourself in Vista. And for now, you can’t do too much in making skin for Vista. At least, I don’t know how you do it. Here is the Scarlett Johansson wallpaper Edited June 19, 2006 by ronnyhp Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/470827-new-theme-for-vista-beta2/#findComment-587619170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
