Description Vista Ultimate skinned like vista beta 2

Fishy-fish recently obtained working copies of Windows Vista Beta 1 and 2, and took some files from there. Including aero.msstyles, wmploc.dll and other stuff.
I modified the vista wmploc.dll with new (old) images from vista beta 2, and the result was a cool clear taskbar player and some buttons on the wmp itself. You can also notice that this theme I'm using here is almost just like vista beta 2, some stuff is changed like the stripes, gradients, borders etc. Maybe me with fishy are going to release it soon

Also notice the sidebar, it's the original sidebar from vista beta 2 and it seems to work fine on RTM. Some gadgets are kinda weird compared to RTM ones, too bad there isn't a wmp gadget (by skisfactory) in this build...

i hope this gets released because when vista betas were being released and leaked there was a certain feeling that thinking of vista made me feel i was so into making xp look like it and i dono but i like the betas looks, plus ive got tired of the final vistas looks, this may not make any sense but the final feels so retail-ish like its way too common and i like having a different looking system than everyone else lol

anyways, your ultimate style's Old Basic substyle needs the old shellstyle

Not really, since some vista beta 2 builds already have a normal shellstyle

i'd enjoy that

Hello old friend beta 2 haven't seen seen much of that os sense they disabled the betas. You mite find this odd but i think beta2 had a different feel to it that well i liked better than the rtm. i cant quite put my finger on what it is though. I kind of miss it.

fediaFedia In reply to acceptance1 [2008-08-25 16:40:01 +0000 UTC]

There is always a different working on a custom Beta release, it had some things that RTM doesn't. Many people miss longhorn, so they do a lot of longhron styles

Too similar, don't see the point except maybe shellstyle.

fediaFedia In reply to ChocSoldier [2008-08-25 10:55:45 +0000 UTC]

It's different, the stream (curved stripes), frames etc.
It looks like frost kinda, but looks more authentic.
