Description
This is my new visual style.As you see,a leopard theme for vista.
I added the large shadow to my new theme,so make it more like Mac OS.
Also,I try my best to make it smooth(especially the rounded corners of the window)
I suggest to turn down the color intensity as the lowest.(in window color and appearance) ,or the border of the window will with a color,not grey.
----------
Download include:
The visual style.(32 & 64 bit)
The browseui.dll file.(32bit only!)
----------
You can get the wallpaper here.[link]

The large shadow original [link]
----------
Now please download and enjoy it.
If you have questions,just comment.
Hope you like it.

I created a new start menu to make it more like Mac style and only a little small changes for this update.
Center the tray icons in the taskbar.
Hope you'll like this updated one.
Enjoy!

Sorry for the question, for what is useful the tiny Hexer? Is the theme or dll compiler?

The best theme ever, GREAT ...
you could also add that the font in Windows Explorer (Organize, View, burning, etc.) is also available in black?
And it would be possible that the view of the inactive window is not
changed, that it remains the same as an active window?
Sorry for my bad english, everything is translated ...

I would like to add more opinion about it! my last comment was too generic
As I said before it's excellent! The best Leopard vs on dA
There are only 2 things need to be fixed: the space between the Explorer's window content & the favourites pane; and the white lines above the button in favourites pane

benbackman In reply to Vathanx [2009-02-24 11:05:07 +0000 UTC]
Oh,I noticed that,too.
But I don't know how to change these two problems.
By hex editing? If you know,can you tell me.
I really appreciate your comment.
Thanks,mate.

It's much easier! If you know something about XML & CSS it's not a problem
You can fix those things in the shellstyle.dll 1.txt file
It's something with margins...

hey I love it nice job and its cool cause all my windows icons and stuff still fit
one thing thou, the task bar is narrow I like that but the system tray icons are to far to the bottom and I have the task bar on top of my screen and its looks weird I'll upload a pic if you want but I think the they just need to be moved up 6+ pixels.

I agree with liamblaise, could you make it with a full taskbar and perhaps a windows flag.
Really Nice job though, very nicely done.

I LOVE IT... It's probably the only Mac OS VS that I can use without being annoyed by having someone put spacing into the taskbar for the spotlight. Is there any way you can make a version with the full taskbar size? the slim taskbar is great and all, but I would rather have a full sized one.
