Windows X Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I'd tried to simulate Aero visual style from PDC event by try it from Aero videos and make it like videos. And what I realized is ...................... disappointed. It wasn't cool like you guys think. It's plain black and whiet start menu which worse than Luna with bad hilight color. I ever think to fix this one but that's what it meant to be that isn't it's time for Aero. At least, I'm sure that my concepts design is totally better!

XP_01 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Yeah I pretty much figured that out myself, the thing that CAN be ported are those square min, max and close buttons that only get a ? or _ when you click on them, I think the look very cool:DD Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/112761-aero-pdc-visual-style/#findComment-1323932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illusion456 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 (edited) I got tired of Slate pretty quickly so I messed around and made an Aero type visual style.. I also am just about finished with the "PDC Aero demo sidebar" smartbarXP skin and will probably release them in a day or 2.... both are based on this: Click HERE to view And here is what I was able to come up with based on that.. And here is a shot of another attempt at a little different take on it.. I'm trying to decide if I should scrap this one for good or not.. Heres a shot: :) Edited November 3, 2003 by Illusion456 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/112761-aero-pdc-visual-style/#findComment-1327408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 So does this use actual transparency or did you just blend it in with the wallpaper? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/112761-aero-pdc-visual-style/#findComment-1327560 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makki Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Oki let me settle this now. If you actually hack lets say explorer.exe from 4051 or shell32.dll maybe the top icon size is 256/256 Makki Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/112761-aero-pdc-visual-style/#findComment-1329775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecowgoesmoo207 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Well, using Windows X's beta slate theme, Y'z Shadow, Glass2k, and SmartbarXP, i've managed to get my computer to look somewhat like aero. It's not anywhere near as cool as aero, but it has its own sleekness.

WillyPete Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 cowgoesmoo can you tell me what icon set you use? Specifically the one that has your "local disk c:" icon.

thecowgoesmoo207 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 i'm using several icon sets. the drives are from X-Ray Icons (i don't remember where i got them) the my computer and my documents icons are from XPICANDY (Foood's Icons) I think some of them might also be from Iconizer the other icons are just random things i found on DeviantART (i don't remember the names though) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/112761-aero-pdc-visual-style/#findComment-1357225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
