+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted March 26, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hrmm I think my theme patcher screwed up - I installed it and other themes work fine, but yours seems to look and behave exactly like soft7 theme. (or is it suppossed to) ? I don't know haha, anyway, can you guys who have it working - link me whatever theme patcher you used? I used 'universal theme patcher'. Somehow its either bugging out on me or the patch didn't work. I love how the theme looks so far thou!

laq3 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'm using win 7 x64. No problems, but the start menu doesn't match with the screenshot (fonts are different). Otherwise no problem.

Denis W. Veteran Posted March 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 26, 2010 I've always wanted to use Shine, but am stuck on your Blend theme due to the caption buttons. :s The way they seem to 'hang' just under and to the left of the window edges looks weird. Any chance of including even the most subtle shade behind the caption buttons to at least fill the existing dimensions of stock Aero caption buttons?

+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted March 26, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted March 26, 2010 Guys should I use the theme patcher from Neowin for this? I think that is what my problem is, I used another 3rd party one.

I've never encountered any hang from any of his themes, but I know not every machine is the same, I'm sure Zain, as well as me, would love to see more into your issue.

bjoswald Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Looks decent but nothing special. Just another "minimalistic" Windows 7 theme.

SoapyHamHocks Member Posted March 26, 2010 Member Share Posted March 26, 2010 I really like the superbar, but dislike how most of the controls are grayscale. It would also be nice if the startmenu didn't have a user picture.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted March 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 26, 2010 So just curious, as I really like the simple clean look of this theme and want to give it a whirl but I have not played with installing custom themes for a good 4 years or so, and that was back in XP. If I recall correctly I used uxtheme.dll or something along those lines? Like I said it has been awhile. So can anyone just explain real quickly what one needs to do these days in order to apply these themes? Point my way to a tutorial, etc? Just wondering it is along the lines of what it used to be.

Zain Adeel Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 it is very simple.. go to www.zainadeel.deviantart.com and open my featured deviation.. and read the instructions.. but there is a software which does all the patching itself without even touching the system files.. i prefer the old method :) because that software didnt work for me.
