Awesome theme...using it now. I have 2 suggestions:

1. I use IE with the favorites tab open. When I hover over a link, the link text disappears 'cause the background disappears and the text turns white. I would suggest changing the background darker so the link can still be seen.

2. When a program flashes in the taskbar, all it does is remain black, just like if it the mouse was hovering over it. Could a flashing program be another color so that from afar, you can see that a program is calling for your attention? The original luna did that nicely with the orange on blue. It was ugly, but no matter how far you were from the screen, you could see it.

Thanks!

This is one of the most well done msstyles that I have seen so far, Top 10. :)

I really like the way a toolbbar buttons look when you press them. Some other styles may have had this same "effect", but this is the first one that made me notice it. Excellent job Krezno!!! :D

sorry I havn't been around lately :p I agree about the flashbutton, it needs to be more noticeable. I'll work on it tomarrow and hopefully have an update tomarrow night. As for the font issues, I still can't reproduce the problem. The only thing I can think of is to try switching to a different theme, uninstalling your Lucida Grande fonts, reinstall Storm over itself and seeing if it fixes the problem. If not then I just suggest switching the font to one of the other two choices available. Seems to me all the problems are with the Lucida Grande option.

Edit: about more colors, nothing else is planned at the moment. Sorry.

Hey,

Anyone know how to make this the defult theme when installing windows via unattanted?

Seeing as this is not working. And YES I also tried DefaultThemesOff = "Yes". No luck.

And yes I am using the hacked theme file.

SP2 of course. ;)

It install the theme fine. Meaning after windows is installed I can change to it and it works fine. But still it should already have been set via the code line bellow.

[Shell]
    CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Storm\Storm.msstyles"
    DefaultStartPanelOff = "Yes"
    DefaultThemesOff = "No"

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Will

Hi! Has anyone got a good icons set that works well with this VS? Also, there is a problem with some text colour, which makes tabs like those in Visual Studio and Sharp Develp impossible to read.

I think there should be a non-.exe version of this, the .exe I assume installs the fonts also, which seems to be what is screwing things up for a lot of people. I had to use system restore to get things back to normal after installing this cuz it fooked things up really bad for me. I really wan to use this theme but I won't touch it now because of the installer, PLEASE scrap the .exe idea and .zip it or .rar it so people won't have to deal with the font problems the installer creates!!
