Description
Get my latest Windows 10 themes: gumroad.com/dpcdpc11Just for you, and for me of course... I give you Minimal Taste Reloaded! This is one of my older themes revamped, cleaned up and polished for a photo finish.
Note: if you like this theme and would like to donate a mere €1 as a symbol of your appreciation of me and my work please click here: www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?…
Update 6
- cleaned up the window borders of the wBorder version... now they're nice and clean. Also the bottom frame now matched the top one... you'll see the difference in Windows Photo Viewer for example.
Update 5
- NEW SubVersion available in the Pack! To fix various Aero dependent programs like Windows Photo Viewer or Opera, I've created a new version with window Borders!
You'll see what I mean after you unpack the archive!
The new version is called Minimal Taste Reloaded wBorder, which can be found in the Theme folder of the archive.
Enjoy!
Update 4
- added my newest creation to the Pack: Minimal Taste Cursors and Minimal Taste Cursors Dark
Update 3
- changed the shut down menu, control panel and toolbar menu to fit the general right click menu.
Update 2
- changed the BAM! animation to a animated Plus(+) sign... I know people likes the BAM! animation but it wasn't an original creation and didn't really fitted the theme.
- changed the start menu All Programs arrow to a Plus(+) sign
- changed the slider button bar vertical and horizontal
Update 1
- fixed the start menu height which looked nasty for those using the taskbar on top... now it looks just perfectly for bottom and top taskbar users!
- fixed the system tray popup background color. Click now on the Sound Volume icon to see the difference.
Firefox 4 users!!!
Due to the poor coding in FF4 default theme, my visual style and other 1px window frame styles, makes the title bar in firefox to disappear sometimes without any logical explanation. I found a way to fix that... at least in my case this works.
HOW TO:
- check out the fix I made, available here
Package includes:
- the theme itself
- Fonts need to make it work perfectly
- Explorer Navigation Buttons
- Windows Start Button: dpcdpc11.deviantart.com/art/Mi…
- Matching windows cursor schemes: Minimal Taste Cursors and Minimal Taste Cursors Dark

I LOVED your theme, I am using it right now with a different Start Orb.
The only problem I found is that when we press alt+tab the "background" of the alt tab window don't exist so when I press it with a white screen, I can't read what is written on it. Does have any easy way to change this background?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Sorry but there's nothing I can do about that because the background of the Alt Tab panel is create out of the top and bottom window frames and since the window frame is too thin, the background can't be created... that's the problem with thin window frames Visual Styles.
I wish windows theming would be that easy, but there isn't a specific setting for the Alt Tab bg.

One last thing, I don't know if this is a expected behaviour also, but when I go to save some stuff in live messenger and in chrome the Navigation panel is missing on the left. Wihtout it I don't have how to navigate through folders to choose where to save anything.
Here follows an image about it, honestly it is the only thing that is making me thinking about change this theme (surely, if it is caused by the theme).
Here it is a [link]

I was able to solve it issue by reverting the ExplorerFrame.dll to the previous, I had switched it before for the Minimal Taste Dark Bar instructions. Then I installed all the fonts that was in the folder but strangely with the install of the Aller font, all my folders was named strangely not in Portuguese anymore. So I had to switch back to a regular theme since this issue was really strange.

Well, I know it will look a bit boring receive all this feedback in one day, but here we go:
This issue was solved after a restart, so I am guessing that the other issue that I've posted on simplify will be solved this way too. Thank you again for your patience and your work!

One bad thing;
- When you use the fancy "half of the screen now filled with this window lol"- function (try smashing one in one of the walls of your screen), it looks very ugly.

you are the only one complaining about this... how can that be ugly!? it's the same as the rest of the theme!!!

I've installed the files, but I can't apply the theme. I'm fairly new to using this type of customization method. (Wanderer from the Land of Rainmeter) How do I apply this new look?

Please follow the How To steps... it's pretty simple... if you get stuck at some point please tell me exactly where.

I am having a lot of difficulties finding a start orb that fits the tiny taskbar and I don't want to use the default because I think using an Apple symbol is... weird.
Do you know any start orbs that fits the taskbar? I am using small icons and most of those I find usually don't center or fit. Help!
Great looking visual style tho!
