Artist's Comments

Finally, I've compiled a visual style to upgrade my XP's look.

Like my icons, it doesn't pursue an absolutely new and stunning look, but just a mere tweak for the main interface to allow it to create the impression of something new.

The Vista base is from leosss' MV5505 style (well, with some changes), the shellstyle.dll is based on a work by Spaceqcg, but further enhanced with a graphic from pCgvrtx (Auroralized Aqua)... actually, much of the mentioned stuff must, ultimately, be credited to Microsoft's design team (the source of all Vista like interfaces).

The visual style contains two flavours: Aero and Basic, both with only Normal size fonts.

I hope you enjoy this.

Thank you! I've wanted no complications with other patches. uxtheme.dll is enough for me. The text on the buttons remains. Anyway, I never use logoff, so I didn't bother to deal with that issue.

I think you've made your point. There's no need to go further. The guy seems to have made other "brilliant" comments and got what he deserved from other offensed users. There's no need for flames in here. :D

It's nice to sit around, do nothing, but comment rather malevolent on other people's work. It's not like unconstitutional, but it's damn plain wrong and useless. :)

Anyway, I kindly appeciate your oppinion and support in this. Thanks. :bow:

The highlight color choice is too dark and doesn't fit. I like the deep black on the taskbar but not the blue on the windows/button face. The programs arrow looks stretched, maybe just a normal triangle will do or at least more rounded. Didn't like the shellstyle but I can use another. Pretty decent job.
:iconhallymaster:
I know the highlight is dark. I've chosen it because it keeps the language bar in tune with the rest of the taskbar (otherwise, if I would have chosen a brighter color, the language bar would have been too striking).

The rest... well, it's a matter of subjective choice. What might seem to you misfit, might seem to me proper.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and for commenting. If I don't always agree with other people's oppinions doesn't mean that I don't want to hear them.

:bow:
