Description
Hi! Thanks for being interested in my style. As it was my first style (released on Novemver 8, 2009), this deviation is kept for a history ^^ it means that it is not updated and you can not download it, butTHERE IS A LINK TO AN UPDATED Aero DS style: [link]
10,632 / 1,581
Hey.. That's it. My first attempt to make a style for Windows 7. And yet its first public release.
First of all now it is just a default Aero modification.
I wanted to make a style that would recall some classic Vista's aero elements.. well, if I'm failed - that's not a tragedy. And yes, that taskbar with buttons was FULLY drawn my me.
Somewhere buggy and incomplete, but can already be applied for everyday use... Unfortunately, it has known problems with big taskbar. I'll fix it soon. Just let you know I developed it for small taskbar from the beginning. There are still A LOT of things to be changed, so that's not probably the final design idea, it could be changed significantly.
I didn't find the best colorization variant, it looks good in black and in transparent variants and on some more even, so you are free to choose the best that suits you.
I would like to turn this into an independent project, epic and solid style of high quality. Wish me good luck
Thanks for testing! Your comments are highly appreciated and welcome. I need to know what you are thinking about this. Please, feel free to leave your opinion.

Works for me on Windows 7 RC (build 7100) 32-bit. Check to make sure you put the files/folders in the correct system folder.
i.e., Place the .theme file and its accompanying folder into:
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\

well, the first thing that comes to my mind is a patch needed. I do not know whether it works on 7100 build, and whether the style works...
so try this one: [link]
And probably ask fediaFedia if my link does not help you. He's a master of skinning and as far as I know tested many W7 builds

Really, i love the windowborders and the taskbar so much .. Maybe you shold also put some work inot a startbutton.. the default one is horrible

DanStudio In reply to Rebdominator [2009-11-08 12:46:09 +0000 UTC]
oh thanks.. taskbar was the first thing I started to draw, it took me about 4 days to make it look nice, and yeah, I like it too ^^
starbutton leaves much to be desired. I also think it became worse :/
I'll redraw it, but as far as I know it is not included into *.msstyle. It is probably sitting somewhere in Explorer ^^
thanks for your opinion!

это стандартная тень от стандартной схемы, и пока что я не занимался этим.
спасибо за мнение, я приму к сведению.
