Description Second Update of my Vista "RC2" (now RTM) skinpack:

CHANGES in the 32px ("small" icons) version:
-Font of the titlebar has been improved ("darker", more Vista like)


CHANGES on BOTH (32px AND 48px) versions:
- Font of the "All Programs" has been improved ("darker", more Vista like)

- "All Programs" highlight has been turned to the orange used by Vista (arguably it would be better to use a graphic to accomplish the gradient and to maintain the black font like in other Vista skins but that would make every Windows XP system regardless if it's in English or not to read "All Programs" instead of "write-ALL PROGRAMS-in-any-other-language-here" and I am not willing to do that, this skinpack is intended for use in Windows XP systems all around the world) PLUS, using that "technique" makes a weird dark vertical rectangle appear on the left border of the Start Menu.

- The "Shut Down" and "Logoff" buttons IMAGES have been swaped to be like Vista. (CMON everybody knows that the rightmost button is the one you use to shutdown your computer and the leftmost button is the one used to logoff your session) (If it is that difficult to remember that, just remember then that those buttons do the "opposite" of what their graphics suggest).

- The "button" of the little arrow located at the right of the real Shutdown button has been thickened, more Vista-like

- The position of the magnifying glass in the "search field" of the Start Menu has been corrected. (moved a little to the left)

- The 2 previous Styler toolbars green tone has been corrected. Both toolbars have properly been named using a "2" at the end so you can easily keep the 2 previous versions in case you preffer the lighter green used in those toolbars, though this new "darker" green is the one Vista really uses.



As a bonus, I've included the 12 official Vista User Pics.

For the Clear Taskbar lovers (myself included) don't worry, I will upload both versions (32px and 48px) with clear taskbar and all the updates/corrections really soon.



PD: One quick question to the guys who have/are using the latest Vistas: What is the color of the highlight in the right-click menu? I'm almost sure it's blue (like the one in my skins), but lately I've begun to wonder... Just wanna be sure.

PD2: For better results, don't forget to use the LS Patch (sorry, not included... just Google it, it's easy to find) AND to Cut and Paste all the fonts included to your fonts directory (Usually the address to your fonts directory would be something like: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts)

PD3: Rubenernesto, fuck off

Not too bad, and i have seen a lot of lookalike vista themes out there. By the way where did you get the black mini media player at. I have been looking for that everywhere. And i wouldn't mind seeing a green shellstyle in this one also; like YAFVC3 WB5 or aero starry eyed

JuanPerez In reply to StAtiXz6 [2006-11-15 07:58:34 +0000 UTC]

Hello and thanks again StAtiXz6.

To get all those icons easily applied to your computer you need IconPackager. Here is the link to the iconpackager pack I use in that image: [link]

JuanPerez In reply to StAtiXz6 [2006-11-15 03:32:14 +0000 UTC]

Hello StAtiXz6, thanks for your appreciation.

As I said in the description that toolbar to the RIGHt of the screen is an application (not sure if it is a DesktopX application or a completely standalone application though) made by Thoosje and called "a vista sidebar enterprise".
The link to it is: [link]

Well. IE7 wasn't coded or designed with WinXP in mind.... nobody cares about XP, so nobody feels like making their appz look any better on XP

Howdo you install these pngs and stuff

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

JuanPerez In reply to bigboiam [2006-11-12 06:34:06 +0000 UTC]

Hello bigboiam, the 12 pngs included in the folder named "Official Vista User PICS" are just that, 12 images to use as your user pic.

The pngs included in the folders named "Vista RC2 toolbar 2" and "Vista RC2 (up,back,forward) 2" are Styler toolbars. You just need to copy both entire folders to the Styler (1.398 or above) toolbars directory. The directory will usually be something like this:

C:\Program Files\Styler\TB\skins\Styler's\

burtie [2006-11-11 10:43:16 +0000 UTC]

Everything is brilliant expect when i use IE7 it how has two address bar's and search bars (one for the skin and the other for explorer) which kind of looks odd.

Apart from that everything is beautiful.

JuanPerez In reply to burtie [2006-11-11 15:37:27 +0000 UTC]

Hello and thanks burtie. To overcome the IE7 (or any other application for that matter) you can use a nice feature supported in WB5 called "Per Application". Here are the directions to get it working:

go to the WindowBlinds configuration window:
-click "Per Application"
-click "Add per application setting"
-select application
-click on "Select skin..."
-select another vista-like skin you like
