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…

great theme! how can i change the font? it looks nod good in the biggest size. pixelated in the browser usw.

it's not easy to change the font... you have to edit the theme in Windows Style Builder and look for the elements for which you want to change the font.

Is it possible to create one with a COMPACT start menu? That is to say, the right-hand side items become single icons?
