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…

looks good i am a dark vs fan so it's not for me but to each his or her own i always say lol honestly though it's a very nice and clean work congrats!

very very nice, im usually a fan of transparency but this is good

Looks really good, but IMHO the back/fordward buttons as the adress / search fields didn´t fit too much with the rest of the theme. The rest of the graphics are awesome.

you might be right but if you use it enough, you can get use to it.
thanks for downloading and feedback my friend

yeah, at least you never get bored from something simple like that
No problem, keep the good work

good point!
waiting for ur next release... curios about what that might be... btw do you still use XWD or any dock at all?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I am not using docks anymore, I was interested on desktop customization before, but know I only care about changing the VS and the wallpaper, and always choose a VS that allows me to work with other softwares, I mean, something on the style of the default Seven VS.
I am designing a 32px icon set, and also a set of escalable vector shapes; but things go really slowly because I have a lot of collegue work, so I won´t expect too much from me on the near future.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've got bored of the docks too... the win7 taskbar does all what the docks do and more.
Was nice for a while but now I'm oriented toward productivity but in a nice desktop environment as well.
Waiting for ur icon set in the mean time!

Got a question - Can you make this dark? Like, match the rest of the theme to the taskbar and startmenu? :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
what exactly would you like to be dark? the top window frames?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, I've used your theme now, and I like it. Only thing I'd suggest is to center the caption button glyphs. *shrug*
Nice theme, though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
glad ur using the theme... but what do you mean by centering the caption glyphs? center them to what?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry ^^" I meant to center the glyphes in relation to the width of the button itself ^^
Slightly to the right, if I didn't explain it correctly that time :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dont want that because the close button is much wider that the min and max so buttons (glyphs) won't be equally appart.. the close glyph will be much to far away from the max/restore.
if you don't trust me you can mod the theme to your liking.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*nod* Thank you for understanding. :3
I won't reupload the theme or anything, Just making a suggestion :3

Clean and simple...it's wonderful.Wish the details pane had the same color as the taskbar though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean... but that would be too mac like... and I wanted something different.
there are too many mac like themes here on dA which have the details pane like you said.
thanks for downloading anyway!

That's nice.Originality has it's own way of being unique

very nice! a version with black window-title-bars would be great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks... but not going to do a dark title bar version because that would be another theme all together.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I really like this one,it's like a mix between the apple os and ubuntu!
The dark taskbar + start menu fits great to the window style.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that was my intention... so happy that someone can see the theme the way I see it!
thanks for downloading!

A leasure to me! I'm currently working on a VS myself, but i will keep that one on my desktop for some time.
