invaderjohn In reply to EmoAmmunition [2008-05-15 13:06:11 +0000 UTC]

ur-aadhu In reply to ??? [2008-05-11 10:12:39 +0000 UTC]

im not sure if anyone's mentioned it... too many posts to go through but there is a slight bug in the theme, i've noticed when there is no maximize feature on the application window that is open there is a empty gap the size of the maximize button between the minimize and close buttons.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

invaderjohn In reply to ur-aadhu [2008-05-11 13:55:03 +0000 UTC]

i know about that.. and i couldnt do anything about it.
there are some windows that doesnt have the maximize thingy.. and the button will be invinsible, so i had to go wityh that anyway to be able to have that buttons cuz i dont use buttons in the inaktiv window.. ior there would be the maximize button from that

added note:

Invaderjohn, if you could talk to ZEUSosX (deviantart name) about how to make the skin useable for 64bit users


I dont have the time to change the files.


He doesn't use a 64bit system, however he was able to make files work for 64bit users

invaderjohn In reply to airibis [2008-05-09 13:37:26 +0000 UTC]

well catully i could make it myself if u just had the dll's for a x64 machine

i would just copy over the stuff from my dll's

airibis In reply to ??? [2008-05-09 08:35:36 +0000 UTC]

ATTENTION!! I HAVE A FIX FOR 64 BIT USERS

Found a solution for Vista 64 users


I will need to work on this though

I found a few VS that include 2 types of Browseui and shell32 files

one folder for 32 bit users (x86) and one folder for 64 bit users (x64)


If you have had the problem (which I have had) where you replace the Browseui.dll files with the ones included in the skin, and then Explorer and windows fail to start (lots of errors about missing Browseui.dll) then you most likely are running a 64 bit version of Vista


So the solution

Because IncaderJohn doesnt have x64, I will have to remake the toolbar and upload the new Browseui.dll and shell32.dll files for x64 users only!


Give me a few days, and I will see what I can do.

Could you let me know all the DLL's you need?

I can email them to you; that way you can make your VS work for both x86 and x64 users in the future

Amazing! The only thing I don't like is the transparent window borders when maximized but I can get used to that since the rest of this VS just flat out rocks.

Very nice theme (congrats for the DD).
I'm using v1 though, cause I really don't like the v2 start button (it doesn't make any sense)...

Anyway, v1 or v2, transblack is an awesome work

TrabzonSport In reply to invaderjohn [2008-05-08 00:20:46 +0000 UTC]

Well, first, I didn't mean to be rude
For the button, if I'm not mistaken it's an eject button. It's used and overused, it can be seen everywhere... And it kind of contradicts the purpose of the start menu: yes it's "ejecting" the start menu so it's ok in a way, but ejecting means stopping (music, film, etc). I don't click a start button to stop doing something... Unless I want to shut down my computer

Oh well forget it, I'm ok with v1 and others are ok with v2. That's perfect !

fugnut In reply to ??? [2008-05-05 22:47:16 +0000 UTC]

why is that when people make these thin taskbar themes that they dont fix the icons in the toolbar... Like shit, the icons arent even in the taskbar anymore they are half way off the taskbar and make the whole theme look like shit! Everything else is sexy but because of the icons it makes the theme get a right click and delete!!!

invaderjohn In reply to fugnut [2008-05-05 23:02:50 +0000 UTC]

oh well ok. thats ur opinium. its a rly easy way to make them thinner tho. but i dont think theres a way to make them thinner in the taskbar with the vs.

fugnut In reply to invaderjohn [2008-05-06 03:52:27 +0000 UTC]

no i mean, i like the thin taskbars but with vista every time someone makes it with a thin task bar the toolbar icons are never centered in the toolbar, they always hang over the edge of the taskbar. Your theme is great i just dont like how you didnt center the icons
