Now including 6 colors variations! Yay!


ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7*!

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Extract the folder named "Visual Style" from the .zip archive to your desktop.

2. Go to the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes directory.

3. Open the 'Visual Style' folder located on your desktop, drag the contents of the "Visual Style" folder instead of the actual folder (as shown in this example ) to the "Themes" directory opened just before.

4. Now, right-click on your desktop, select "Personalize" (or any corresponding word for non-English systems), and finally select one of your favorite colors of the Toybox series!

5. After that, pick your favorite picture on your computer as your desktop background (unless if you want a blank colored background)!

You changed your name I wouldn't recognize if you didn't mention 'Ichigo Pistachio'. Anyway,a very beautiful VS, much more polished than your first. I love 'Shida' and 'Konkurito'. Easy to eyes but not too cartoony. Installed yesterday and today I noticed that you paid so much attention to details. Good work!

Excellent theme. A breath of fresh air from all the dark and serious ones. However, for some reason, the task bar always appears brighter than in the preview pictures. This is probably the only issue I have. I just wanted to mention it, but I'm aware that you've moved on to Windows 8. Thanks for the theme!

Cappippuni In reply to MattressGiant [2013-04-01 17:14:10 +0000 UTC]

I moved back to Windows 7 for some more time as I had several compatibility issues with Windows 8, also the latter still lack of visual styles available at this time is another reason.
About the taskbar, what settings are you using for it? Default big taskbar or small? At the bottom or top of the desktop?

This is normal, don't worry. ^_^ I used a different window frame and made the title text invisible when shadows are toggled off as the default frame was buggy in this setting.
About shadows, I don't plan to work more on this theme in the near future, sorry.

This is the best, cutest and simplest theme i've ever seen. Thank you so much for creating this! It would be nice if it has some cursors, too!

Anonymiza [2013-02-05 09:10:49 +0000 UTC]

The only problem, is that this theme is that it makes the pages of Microsoft Word slightly grey (as someone else has already commented).

Otherwise, it's the hottest/most colourful/most attractive/most awesome VS ever!

Valindalk In reply to ??? [2013-01-29 23:43:10 +0000 UTC]

Interesting, the theme makes the color of background paper in Word 2007 slightly gray.

Still very cool regardless.

I'm aware of this little issue with few softwares (especially on websites with white background when using the latest Internet Explorer 10), I can't fix it without turning the windows contents white again. :/

YuiGen In reply to ??? [2013-01-23 01:53:40 +0000 UTC]

lovely VS I'm using UMI now
one question though, is there a way to change the clock style to have the date under the time like default?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Cappippuni In reply to YuiGen [2013-03-14 04:41:59 +0000 UTC]

Not with this theme, the clock typeface is taller and lighter, wanted to make this area less overloaded. :)

Cappippuni In reply to synergeticink [2013-03-14 04:38:08 +0000 UTC]

I'm not using Windows 8 right now, but I now prefer to wait until "Windows Blue" (major update for Windows 8 planned around August 2013, if I'm exact) will be released before porting this theme.

I love this! But when I apply the theme there's a small problem, it's like this: [link] (i mean the yellow box). Everything else is fine.

I have Win 7 Professional 32 bit. Do you know how to fix that? Or is it a bug with 32 bit?
Anyway, thanks for the great theme!!

That's not a major problem though. It still looks nice without the full colored title bar!

svenas22 In reply to meokubu [2013-01-15 20:43:32 +0000 UTC]

you should turn on shadows on your system then it will have the full colored bar

ah i was waiting for this. I saw the inchigo pistachio was bugged but i always wanted to try that one. Now you made an even better one.

I just got one wish: that the taskbar would be able to change in color.

Cappippuni In reply to svenas22 [2013-01-06 21:05:39 +0000 UTC]

This theme is the fixed version of Ichigo Pistachio, having fixed the critical bugs and made some slight modifications besides the alternative optional colors. ^_^
I don't plan to update this visual style anymore as I'm not using Windows 7 anymore, but I'm thinking to see if it may be possible to port it easily to Windows 8 in the future...

I think this one deserves special attention as it differs from the most of all other themes available by its unique and distinct appearance.

I have a question, is it possible to change the taskbar color to a darker color? If so, how? The light grey is just too bright against a darker background I have~
