KoL Veteran Posted July 17, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2005 Beauty Kol...Not sure if these are bugs or not (see pic)... 586228237[/snapback] Believe it or not thosse are the radio buttons from Longhorn. I'll try to make the more clean.

AaronMT Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Question: Is the light blue mixed with grey on the menu bar supposed to be like that? Example open up My Computer and look at the color differences on the menubar Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/3/#findComment-586229952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malisk Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I have a bit of a trouble with the title bar text. :unsure: Other than that I like it better than most LH themes! :D To solve the title bar text issue for some users like me, I'd prefer a version that stayed even more truthful to the original with light grey titlebars (maybe basically "milky white" bars would look best in this case; your glossy thing on the bars look great btw!), maroon title bar text, having a silver highlight. With title bar buttons styled similar to 5203's. To summarize, it would be awesome with a style as polished and pretty as this one but a kind of "5203 Classic" look, color-wise! :) (I have nothing at all to remark on the design itself, it's all gravy :happy: ) Will probably still try it out for a while though. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/3/#findComment-586229979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

klop Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 :o Wow this is by far the best Longhorn VS I ever seen! I found some small bugs... Maybe you can't fix them. You can move windows with the minimize button. If you position your mouse where the red dot is, the button will stay black and you can move the window. If you position you mouse where the blue dots are, buttons will glow even if you're not over the buttons. The blur effects on caption bar is awesome! How did you manage to do that?

Melody Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Excellent LH VS. The best part of it is the absence of black toolbar. However, I would prefer solid color for the text in the titlebar. The blurry effect might be a technical prowess but is actually hard to read.

I create the effect using shadows. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/345259-rel-vistaxp-visual-style/page/3/#findComment-586230217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted July 18, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 18, 2005 Perhaps this is just a personal preference thing, but is it possible to make the glow on the text for the active titlebar a little more subtle, it seems quite hard to read for me. Fantastic theme though, love the caption buttons as well, I've no idea how you done it, looks excellent though.

ScottKin Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Ok - this is going to sound like a total-n00b question... But how do I implement the shellstyle.dll?
