cpu killer Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 If only you guys knew what Aero Glass had in store, you'd see there is no way you could ever portray it with msstyle's or any 3rd party app available now-a-days :). Anywyas, whatever :p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 So, the Longhorn Aero theme in XP isn't the same as the look in Longhorn! You can't create the perfect Aero threme for all! For me the window must be White and we add transparency, taskbar must be white too, exept the start button in black i want it like thisuser posted image looks so sweet! I love it !

Windows X Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 What if we try to make a similar theme as far as XP can go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.K.R. Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 It's possible. Microsoft has already showcased Windows XP modded to look and feel like "Longhorn". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fires Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Is it not possible to have the foward and back buttons close together as they appear in longhorn 4074 IE jade? Or you are not able to get xp to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDreamX Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 For me the best Aero theme was (because project terminated?) the photoshop creation? by DigitalFreedom.I think is the best ! This one Yes, I agree. Everyone, check out that thread. DigitalFreedom has taken screenshots of Longhorn (beta) and Photoshopped them. The outcome is amazing, although quite simple. I hope the real Longhorn looks like this... with a more 3D feel and hardware acceleration, of course. As for your ideas, Windows X, I prefer the black design, which is actually what I have my XP skinned as no:p:p. However, if I must choose, I would have to say the silver/black combo of the link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 TheDreamX, I'm making those themes now. I think I'll call it Aero UI if everyone agrees. TaskBar and Captionbar are done. Buttons look damn nice as Jade taskbar but little different from Jade because I need to make 6 images for one pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttons look damn nice as Jade taskbar but little different from Jade because I need to make 6 images for one pic. I'm verry exited ! This theme is great!

phedot Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 hmm... that idea of a Day-Desktop would be great but if it could connect to weather.com and get the information about the weather outside, and then it would change the background when the sun position changes or when it starts to rain in a cloudy day... that will be fantastic... lets say if longhorn backgrounds were a little like samurize... or rainmeter... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windows X Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 Here's what I've done so far. Changes are CaptionBar and Taskbar. The rest still be like latest Longhorn Aero from LTP6. If you have any other idea about this work, feel free to comments and post your suggestion. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make flash thingy for weather view and get weather data to display from web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

br3tt0 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I think a little addon in the theme should include the cursor (if any) and icons you have taken the screenshot with... Ask permission off the creator ofcoarse, but I hate it when you download a VS... and you get your hopes up over a screenshot you've just seen... Then, you install it, and the one thing that finishes off a desktop isn't there... the cool icons you saw in the screenshot. Just my little recommendation to make the VS look even better :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you could make a theme that looked like that Photoshop-only project, that would be freakin' sweet! Lol. Looks funnily. :) Let me tell you what happened. 1. Corporel Clegg requested me to make black Aero theme. I said I'm making one and give my new Slate for better "Black" theme before I give him black Aero. 2. He used file I gave him to make that. 3. I finished this and post some pics in somewhere in this forum. 4. He requested me to give that theme (Current shot) It'll be all right to make it because he didn't start that first.
