Description
This is just a small sample of Aero.Dynamic.Still a bit more of work to be done. But not too much more.
Hope you guys enjoy the work done so far.
Personally I`m loving it.
I think I like the non-transparent minimalistic themes more now.
Before I was focused on trying to nail that perfect "glass" look.
Had mixed results. Think I`ve just now found my forte.
Remember, this is a beta more or less.
The final release will be this weekend if my circumstances allow.
I WILL be updating this one over time. So look out for updates.
Hopefully everyone will enjoy using it.
And if anyone has any ideas/suggestions, please feel free to drop me a line.
I`m open for any criticism and any ideas.
In the end this is for you guys as much as it is for myself.
Thanks

Hmm...that seems to work for me.
Could be yet another bug...
At the moment, I have no clue how I would go about fixing that.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Okay I actually downloaded and it's quite nice. However, it's not very clear which window's the active one from the taskbar. Sure that isn't so essential, but it still helps a bit. Otherwise I can't say there's anything specific that stands out.

Personally I'm one for simple taskbars with transparency, like in Leopard only sans macfaggotry. You should just make the taskbar transparent without worrying about glass, I'd say.

Noted. And will take in to consideration for the next update.
Thanks.

ive seen multiple examples of people adding the patched sp1 files, does this mean that i need to repatch the uxtheme files every time i want to change my theme? or is a patch universal?
π: 0 β©: 1
the patch is universal. once it`s applied, that`s it.
you shouldn`t have to re-patch every time you add a theme. Hope this helps

thats cool, i just restored the original dll files, so now, what i should do is replace the patched dll files, right? i still have the rar file you made so ill have no problem getting them
π: 0 β©: 1
Correct. Replace the patched files. Hopefully everything will work then. Don`t hesitate to comment or note me back and I`ll try to help out as much as I can.

well, i downloaded windowblinds for vista which works...sorta.... but thats moslty cause it is the free trial, i dont think i will buy it tho. ill go ahead and repatch the files, i did notice tho that now the theme files at least register as aero, but all they do is put the unformated aero on, ill tell you how it works when im done repatching, but for now, sleep cause i have to get up at 6 tomorrow. not fun

I hadn`t thought about that.
The list of ideas is growing, thanks for contributing.
Even though the final version will be out this weekend, I will definitely continue working on it.
If your suggestion doesn`t make it in the v.1.0 final, it will def be in v.2.0.
Appreciate the comment.

Looks great; thanks a lot for sharing. Only problem I've seen so far is that the taskbar look is only applied if it's docked to the bottom of the screen; all the other positions get you the regular vista taskbar.
π: 0 β©: 1
That has been taken care of.
When the final version is out, you`ll be able to drag that taskbar anywhere you want it, and it will look the same. No more regular Vista t-bar.

can't believe it's not the final version coz it's great IMO. can't imagine how the final would be. nice +fav

A thinner taskbar version would be sweet, but please keep this version as well. as yethzart points out, this VS is great like it is. just fix any bug that you may find but please don't do any radical changes to it. keep the dark taskbar too and the big start button. I love it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh trust me, I will keep this version.
Too much work to throw away.
In fact, depending on the final file size, I will package both this version and the small taskbar version together.
Otherwise there will be seperate releases.
Thanx 4 the comment.

as far as what i see on the preview, It looks great.. IMO > nothings to be changed.. This is more perfect
Just to be unique dont changed anything

I love it! Running it now. Can't wait for the final release!
Is it possible to include a version with a small taskbar please? I don't know how much work that is, but I would really like that.
π: 0 β©: 1
if that taskbar will be changed to thinner size, then the start button logo will be changed also to smaller.. will its up to the author which is bests
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure, I`ll do a small taskbar version as well.
I thought about doing that when I started this project, but wasn`t sure it would work how I wanted it to, so I went medium instead.
Small taskbar version coming right up.

Thats Cool
a little tip would be very appreciated, Thanks in advance

Just search around here for UK.Intel`s small taskbar mod. If you can`t find it I will pack it up and send it to you.
I tried to do it manually, on my own, but that didn`t work out the way it should have.
So what I did was download that taskbar mod, opened it up in Restorator, and replaced every image with the ones I modified, saved, and then used the theme.

thanks for that info! appreciated it a lot..

I dont know if what I am going to suggest is fit enough to be incorporated , but ....
about the taskbar tabs - why not have different colors for minimized windows , a window without priority ,and the window on the top ???
π: 0 β©: 1
I will take that into consideration. Thanks.
Just to let you know, I`m almost done. The final will definitely be out this weekend.

that's a very good work... i like it buddy...

great VS!!! but what are all those shellstyle backups suppose to do? 
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry about that. I completely forgot about deleting those shellstyle backups.
And the final version of this theme will be out this weekend.

is nice but i really dont like the fact that it is not transparent!
it would be so nice if it had transparency enabled.
the wallpaper is wicked tho! can i see it fullscreen? looks cool
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure I`ll see if I can find that wallpaper her at dA for you. It`s not mine and I`m sure the author wouldn`t appreciate me uploading it to my gallery.
And I can do a transparent version of Aero Dynamic. It would be no trouble at all.
Thanks for the comment.

I paid alot of money for my G-Card and i like to see it working!! lol
the only other thing i think would make it look really good is this little mod here: [link] (Auto-Hide Folderband)
secondly i noticed that the HDD markers in your "My Computer" dont match your colour scheme, if you would like to change them, and the copy paste animation try this: [link]
(If you want to see what it does i have made one myself here: [link] )
I hope this helps!! lookin 4ward to the release

I have put it into the theme folder but it doesn't works.

Awesome theme!!! It is sharp and simple. The best theme that I have seen for vista thus far. Hope to see it released soon!!

I still need to:
Edit the basic theme to match the Aero theme
Narrow down my selection of wallpapers
Tweak the stream
Tweak the start button
Type up a Readme with proper creds and links
And then I need to include:
The patched SP1 uxtheme files
Customized explorer.exe
VistaGlazz
