freedom77 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 so you can't overlap the close button image only when its pressed or highlighted Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/32/#findComment-586670646 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnergyBlue Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hi kol your theme is great good job but is still far from perfect here are 2 more bugs ' i think' 1-control panel and other windows like my music dont have a background picture (sorry if its already mentioned) (or is because i change the shell style?) 2-on shareaza when i select something the selecction appear to be white and cant be read easily but the theme is very good , is there anyway to put the background on folders white? or change the traditional start buttom to the new round one? anyhow thanks for you theme salu2 y perdon por mi horrible ingles jejeje c-ya Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/32/#findComment-586672487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Vector.. Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 ^^Your first problem is because you have changed the shellstyle from the default one for the theme ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/32/#findComment-586672496 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnergyBlue Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 i added the pictures to the shell style but in your theme those pictures dosent appear, but in the others like microsoft royale the shell appears correctly what can be the cause? can i upload the modified shell style?

dmb219 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 KoL, you have done an awesome job with this project. I've been pretty slow to warm up to the Longhorn/Vista look, but I really like this!

crimsonhead Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 5231 looks like 5219 which looks like 5112(beta 1) which looks like VistaXP.

Big Muscle Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi, I've installed Vista build 5231 under VMWare and it has a bit different theme, especially another windows titles and buttons. Are you going to update your XP skin to match the original 5231 theme ??? It would be nice :) and another thing would be nice: same explorer task panels like in Vista. I use that one from Brico packs, but I'm missing the bar at the bottom of the window with file info Thanks :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/32/#findComment-586683915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Muscle Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 :) just look here: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/showcas..._2_explorer.jpg I'm not at home now, so I can't make a screenshot in my Vista, but I found this image. It's not exactly the same ;-) I can provide Vista theme file if you want :-) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/32/#findComment-586683940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Muscle Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 so this theme is used only when Glass effects are disabled ? there's only one theme in Vista called Glass but effects are disabled, because virtual adapter doesn't support them.. btw thanks for your answers ;-) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/32/#findComment-586683956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT2046 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Brico Vista Inspirat Pack 1.1 plus KoL's VistaXP VS 2.0 is a perfect marriage on my office system. Installed the former for the shellstyle, logon, toolbar, ObjectDock and theme hack and then choose the latter for the perfect Vista-style theme. :) I don't have those paid versions of Object Desktop or StyleXP in my office PC. Therefore this method is perfect for me. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/32/#findComment-586688268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
