Description
The Slate-X WindowBlinds theme was based from the early concepts of Microsoft's Longhorn Visual Style, which was originally entitled Slate. The Microsoft Slate theme was basically a modification of the Default WindowsXP 'Luna' style, but featured a different Color scheme, and adjusted imagery. However, the most intriguing feature of this Visual Style was the Gradient blend of 2 shades of Grey, I examined some of the highlights of Slate, then created my own WindowBlinds theme, entitled Slate-X.My theme, Slate-X, is my personal view on the Slate style. It features the Slate appearance, embedded in Glass and encrusted with Crystal like controls. Slate-X as a WindowBlinds theme features all of WindowBlinds v5's features. Including Translucent Startpanel, Translucent Taskbar, Translucent Window Frames, Translucent Shutdown Controls, Translucent System Controls and more. Slate-X also includes a full set of Shell Animation .AVI's, as well as a full set of Toolbar icons for both Explorer and IE6. As a WindowBlinds theme as a whole, Slate-X is a completely skinned WindowsXP GUI Replacement.
Slate-X comes equipped with 4 Substyles. The default substyle features a Full length Startpanel, with a User picture allocation and Username. An alternative substyle, with the Suffix 'Mini' is depicted in the Screenshot, and features a Full length Startpanel, without the User picture or Username. Both of these Substyles where also duplicated and converted into Compact versions, creating a total of 4 Substyles. Also, the system font, Segoe UI, is included and is required to use this theme. The fonts should automatically install on the first application of this theme, but Should you feel that the fonts have not yet been applied, you may have to manually install the fonts. The fonts are provided and can be found in your Windowblinds/Slate-X directory.

Make sure you are using WindowBlinds v5.x, Make sure you are using in on WindowsXP/Vista, and make sure you have a Video Card that supports DirectX +9.0.

The overall feel and style and superb. I like the choice of your transparent border and your file transfer animation. Something though that I feel: The bar of running applications in the taskbar seems to be too near to the bottom and the gradient for open, closed etc. programs are a little unfitting to the whole thing

With the feedback I am now receiving, thanks to the recent DD, I may consider developing a "Slate-X 1.2", with changes to various elements. If you could elaborate on what you'd rather the task bar looked like, perhaps I can include it within the changes.

I'll rather a solid colour/no change instead of a gradient.

It's really great, but it is only me who think it seems like every vista-based skin gets an DD? how about something else from the customization section once in a while?

Very nice, using it now. I love the start menu and overall concept. Keep up the good work, also the scroll bar is a little hard to see.

any itunes skin in this style?

Using it now. It's actually completely replaced Eminence as my Windows shell skin. I also would love this theme with the slate areas semi-translucent like a Slate/Glass hybrid.
My one and ONLY crit is that I wish the Max, Min, Close buttons were a little taller. At 1680x1050 they're little slivers.

Very awesome. Nice to see someone doing something Vista-ish, but actually creative.
Any chance of a .msstyles version?

Could you make another exactly the same, but instead of orange highlighting, could you do some different colors? I think a blue highlight would suit it really nice! Thanks very much! Hope you'll consider it

Try using the WindowBlinds coloring tools. (In Advanced Skin options)
The only color in this theme is orange. The rest are shades of grey.
So Recoloring orange to blue would not effect the rest of the theme. Perfect.

wow... nothing more to say... just one question: do you have a suggestion which IconPackage would look good with the Skin ?
I mean, which one would fit in with the theme
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would suggest one of the thousands of Vista style IconPackages.
I believe some of the Icons from my screenshot are from Vista Build 5474...
However, if you manage to find something with a more Glassy/Crystal effect, it would suite the theme more, as the controls also have this effect.

thanks, i'll try that... using "The Last Order" right now
