StevoJD Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 It's a highly sophisticated skin, but you could you add a glow to the start button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll create another skin that I have in mind that will have glow everywhere :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buttons are hidden in the white area. The buttons can't be done that way because WindowBlinds dont have control over that text. I made it that way to keep the feel of the Window Vista Beta 2 concept." KoL Clearly stated that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo11883 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 You need beta 3 to get it to show properly 586836938[/snapback] Also check WindowBlinds' per-app exclusions for firefox.exe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosrocket Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Great Theme, thanks! Just one thing I can't seem to get the icons to work. When I download the file vistalcons.rar it asks for an application to open it. I didn't know if I should choose WindowBlinds or not but when I did nothing happens. Can someone tell me exactly how to get the Vista icons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo11883 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 You need WinRAR or another RAR compatible archiving program to extract the contents of the rar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosrocket Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 OK I downloaded WinRAR and uncompressed the VistaIcons folder to my desktop. How do I actually get the new icons to replace the XP icons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo11883 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 There are many methods to do this. One is to make copies of explorer.exe, iexplore.exe, shell32.dll, etc and use ResHacker to replace the icons, or use a program that changes them for you. The replacement method takes longer but works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2005 Can someone send me the latest build of WB5??? :D 586837392[/snapback] That would be illegal. Just open up Stardock Central and use your OD subscription access to get the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonhead Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 WiindowBlinds 5 has an official release date: November 29! It's hard to believe that WindowBlinds 4 is almost 3 years old.So what, wb5 in about a week. :D But it ****es me off that the Vista theme, Arrow, is a ripoff of VistaXP. Check the Start Button :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 regarding the start button, crimsonhead, i think you'll find mike's Arrow skin was updated before kol updated VistaXP. there is no ripoff by either skinner. i have both skins on my system. i don't use either of them but i do have them. there are differences between the skins.

KoL also has a transparent start menu, Mike's Arrow theme doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the start button, that was bound to happen with the beta 2 concept art.Meh, I don't like how arrow looks. It's like vistaxp's ugly twin sister. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 explain to me how my post which did nothing more than state that neither skin is a rip of the other led to two posts degrading Arrow? i said nothing in my post that could be taken as negative towards either skin, did i? kol made one. mike made one. leave it at that. there is no need for derogatory comments about either skin. both are excellent skins in their own right. cheers.
