Watercolor from Whistler would have been awesome but luna is just a failure. Speaking of failures. Only a "failure" would make a point of posting on a thread that obviously doesn't interest him and then berate the thread starter.

czanchez Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I like how your replaced the glass reflections with the stars. Cool idea. The only thing I don't like is how the blue streak on the startbar never changes color when you change the color of the windows. Looking forward to the next.

UncleSpellbinder Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) I notice this theme (which looks quite nice) is an .exe. Can I use this if I already have WindowBlinds 5.5 installed? Do I need to unload WindowBlinds or can I just download it and install?

No need to yell !! I'm fully aware that it's not for WindowBlinds, that's why I asked about any conflicts or if I should unload WB. And it's an .exe, there are no "instructions".

minimaxa Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 i have to say also that screwing around with those .dll files has effected my registry and i had to to do a system restore to get my themes working again. i think i will wait awhile till either microsoft comes out with some proper vista themes or the user created themes have a different install method as the changing of the .dll files is shonky and cause corruption....

KiHu Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I must admit that I like this theme very much (Not a vista user but I just had to have look) You have done a good job with making it. I would feel alot more "home" if I used it and alot easier to find stuff. Personally I think the default(black theme) is way to dark and I kinda like the blue in Windows XP. (but I hate the startbutton to bits). This would be a clear choice for me if I used vista. -Miini (..windowsblinds port I really would like (want to use it on XP) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/543064-lunavista-style-for-windows-vista/page/2/#findComment-588438067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassed Silver Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 i have not tried it yet, but this seems to be able to give me a real comfortable "at home" feeling... the blue and green... very nice!

Jazket Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Well you need to be carefull with what you mod in your system. Remeber those DLLs are patched. Try "googling" for a newer uxtheme.dll patch version I don't know if it exist. That might fix your problem... I had some kind of problem with my girlfriend's PC and she has the same version I have (Ultimate) when all of a sudden the start menu wouldn't render anything but a squared trasparent box with no buttons and program icons.. So i had to do a system restore as well. Then I reapplied the patch and it worked fine... I think that would only happen if you forget one out of the 3 dlls you are suppose to replace. Im glad to see yall like it :) OH also minimaxa, make sure the LunaVista folder is named "LunaVista" nor "Aero" or "Luna Vista" with a space, for it won't work like that. I forgot to mention .... please rate my work .... lol (a moth later...) thanks :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/543064-lunavista-style-for-windows-vista/page/2/#findComment-588438679 Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimaxa Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 thanks Jazket lunavista is up and running and seems stable. i had the same issue with lost/blank icons with the classic skin as you although i'm running vista home premium it was the uxtheme error im sure. i reinstalled the uxtheme patch and had to move the lunavista msstyles to the first entry in its folder for personalisation to recognise, now i have numerous vista aero and basic entries from other vista msstyles i have dl'd (would be nice if someone knows an edit trick to change the names so personalisation shows them?) can you tell us did you use windowsblinds 5.5 then skinstudio to create or what other program and did you create them in vista or do you have to switch back to xp for creation? i have seen a few vista styles which are mock ups which look wicked i want to try and create these to release so i just want the best method to start creating them. thanks!

Yeah, happens to all Vista themes so far. I tried to edit the title in Reshacker, but it is not the same as in XP. Anyone know how to edit the name that appears?

Oh what did I use? PE Explorer, and Photoshop. :) It was all done under Windows Vista. The reason why, I had to constantly copy-paste the contents of the theme into the Resource and reload to re-test, because for some reason, the color management in Windows Vista is not the same as in Windows XP anymore. So that blue color that looks kind of like "Sour Blue" is really a "Cian Blue" under XP. It is exactly the same blue color used on XP's original Luna, but look how different it appears under Vista. Also most of the stuff I do on Photoshop are displayed using "Adobe color management" and once I export to PNG or anything else, It is displayed using Vista color management which changes every color drasticly I don't know what the heck... :wacko: Also there is a file called STREAM.PNG which contains the Aero effects. I've been trying the effects of the window buttons in a different color other than red and blue (you know the glow-fade effect? yeah...) Also the background used for rendering Aero is also there, its a big pasted image to the right. Change this to whatever you want and you can have nice backgrounds under the transparency of Windows Aero.
