JT2046 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 This variation of Royale + Vista remix is better than straightforward Vista themes. And dobee has never disappointed us with his amazing skinning skills. Thankz buddy. I use Kudesnick's Vista Icons IP for system and Windows Vista Clarity Gold PNG Pack by both Kudesnick and Wizard for desklet and dock icons.

Dobee Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 I love this, one complaint is the arrow for the "hide inactive icons" is not viewable till moused over. Other than that it is beautiful and I am very picky. Great Job. If you dislike the tray notification arrow being hidden, I've made it possible to unhide it without needing to edit any bitmap, or use stylebiulder in this release... and its quick and easy All you need is resbuild or resedit(I've only tested it with resbuild but resedit should work aswell) Open the msstyle file with resbuild, Collapse the "TEXTFILE" folder you'll notice alot of normal/large/extralarge ini files, you dont have to edit all only the one you using (If your not sure which one your using then simply edit each one) Click on a file you wish to open then edit it using the edit button (this will make the file editable in notepad) do a search using the find function for "TrayChevronHorizontal.bmp" rename it "TrayChevronHorizontal2.bmp"by adding a 2, close it a and say yes to save when prompted do this to each file you want to edit then save the msstyle, apply it by clicking in on it voil?!

You'll have to edit or replace the bmp for that... its just as easy Open the msstyle file with resbuild, Collapse the "bitmap" folder edit the "TASKBARCHEVRON_BMP" files in paint by filling the first or topmost chevron with the transparent pink(you could also use the replace function if you have an edited bmp that you wish to use) do this to each style you want to edit then save the msstyle, apply it by clicking in on it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400409-royale-vista-vs/page/6/#findComment-587077169 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 In Filezilla, the vertical arrow is hidden which might mislead users since the option isn't visible... ... unless the mouse is over :\ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400409-royale-vista-vs/page/6/#findComment-587079326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF4 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I love this theme but there are some annoying display bugs like ian mentioned that need to be fixed. here is one more: In some applications/windows text is not displayed correctly Like here for example: Looking forward for some updates, awesome work mate!

Melody Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Top class VS. Can you please, please make another color variation other than black? Dark blue or dark green for example.

ian Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I love this theme but there are some annoying display bugs like ian mentioned that need to be fixed. I think it's a feature and not a bug (like the hidden arrow for the "hide inactive icons"). I simply don't like that "feature" because it can mislead users. @dobee: Is there a way to "fix" this (using ResEdit)? ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400409-royale-vista-vs/page/6/#findComment-587080857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open the msstyle file with resbuild, Collapse the "bitmap" folder edit the "TOOLBARBUTTONSSPLITDROPDOWNGLYPH_BMP" files in paint by copying and duplicating one of the arrows and placing it on top of the 2 arrows below it (you could also use the replace function if you have an edited bmp that you wish to use) do this to each style you want to edit then save the msstyle, apply it by clicking in on it I love this theme but there are some annoying display bugs like ian mentioned that need to be fixed. here is one more: In some applications/windows text is not displayed correctly Like here for example: Looking forward for some updates, awesome work mate!

vellox Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 dobee this is an amazing theme, I can't beleive I didn't notice it before. The highlighted effect for selected taskbar items is so smooth, and the overall choice of colors is fantastic.

myst Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 dobee Thanks for the beautiful theme. I'm using it for about a month now ;) BTW. On the previous screenshot with this theme (ver. 1.0) you had a RSS-reader plugin ( for samurize i think) with glass borders. Maybe you know where i can find it?
