Description
First off I would like to thank Andreas Verhoeven aka Ave for letting me create this theme in his amazing program, Vista Style Builder (previously AveStyle).History:
We all know about Savoury's Target: Longhorn right? The theme that had a promised date of February 2nd, 2008? Well after he didn't show, the Longhorn fans grew irritated. All he did was tease 'n' leave. The Longhorn Fusion Team, at this point still working on LHIE and the old LHE, quickly gave notice. After a while we decided to hop on board and have a "have at it" ourselves. The problem was the large navigation buttons. (Which after research we found he did the same thing with the 97dpi.) After word went around (can't remember who found it) all hell broke loose in Longhorn themes. However we didn't just focus on the buttons. We focused on the experience. We kept adding things until Beta II. At this point nothing else could be done. Well we continuously poked around trying to make breakthroughs. Not much though. It wasn't until UK.Intel recommended me to Ave to help him with some naming for VSB. From June 10th, 2008 until September 3rd, 2008 I've used this amazing program and I still find new things everyday! I've added...
* Taskbar glow.
* Address bar glow.
* Multiple DPI image settings.
* Extensive Margin editing.
* Composited Programs list.
* Advanced Start menu panel.
* Aero Wizard.
* ReBar image for large buttons.
* Extended ReBar glass.
* Curve shell overlay.
* Custom notification balloons.
* Custom Search Home image.
* Jade styled group menus.
* Properly alpha channeled images.
* Aero specific More Programs label.
and more using his amazing program. All in all, when it releases for the general public, I highly recommend buying it.
Etc:
If you use this theme please report bugs in this order.
* DPI: (96dpi, 97dpi, 120dpi, Other (Specify))
* Architecture: (x86 | x64)
* Substyle: (Aero | Jade | Athens)

Finally got it working, but only 1 problem:
It show me a style called "Aero style", and is the basic style, not aero's. And there is only 1 Longhorn theme being showed, the basic one, so...
Is this an knowed issue, or unknown?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, sorry, it was the style name's problem. If someone have got this problem, rename the visual style file from "Longhorn M7 - Nightly" to "Longhorn M7". Thanks anyway

Can you tell the variant address for colour text of start menu?
π: 0 β©: 2
Impossible de retrouver une valeur prΓ©cise dans un variant aussi modifiΓ©
Il serait mΓͺme plus simple de recrΓ©er le theme depuis le debut...
Par contre, avec Vista Style Builder c'est possible.
A quoi penses-tu a propos de la couleur du texte du menu dΓ©marrer?
π: 0 β©: 0
Next to impossible to trace it.

is it possible to make the titlebar and the taskbar on maximized windows transparent?

I love it... finally...
I would like to do a personal mod. Can you help me? I would like to change the "order" of the shellstyle. What I mean is that I would like the darker grey shellsytle when I open "My Computer" and vice versa.
I use Resource Tuner...
Can you give me a hint on how to?
Best regards
Magnus

I'm kinda a noob at this, can I get some instructions?

First of all...Really thank you for sharing this awesome theme...
but I got a problem...when i extract this zip file...error message is appeared.
so I downloaded several time. but I can't extract this....Maybe it's File's problem that you uploaded.
Could you check your file again?
Have a nice day...
π: 0 β©: 1
What kind of compression utility did you use?
I use 'Alzip' and 'Winzip'. but both of these utility can't extract
your upload file. I tried to do a lot of time. but they couldn't work.
It's 'Extract error'.
I'm wondering that if it's my own problem or not.

You know there are some extremely minor tweaks that need to be fixed and to celebrate the release of VSB I put it out to show how powerful it is. Plus the community has waited way longer than they should have.

Awesome
But one question: Would this work with an Spanish version of Windows Vista? I always liked this style, and I haven't used it yet, because English versions of Windows Vista won't install me the wireless lan, so I won't have internet acces :sad:
Anyway,

It should work on any version. The only thing that wouldn't would be the string replacements in the en-US folder.

Si funciona en una version en espaΓ±ol, yo remplaze todos los archivos excepto por los que vienen con la terminacion dll.mui y funciona muy bien

sorry I mean here: [link]

It isn't downloadable yet, and if I replace all system files (tried it yesterday), Vista goes right to s**t. And, if it is a french version, I don't think it'll work. I think there are a lot of diferences in different languages editions of Vista, so, if it isn't Spanish, I don't think it'll work
π: 0 β©: 1
??? so how do u explain my desktop ???
Precision: I helped for the creation of theme and I also ported this mod for swedish, portuguese and greek. So, I don't think that spanish will be much harder... The only different files are those in 'en-US' folders and some details in the theme.
Of course I won't sent you french files...
And last if it has messed up your vista, you haven't done the files replacement correctly.

Maybe is like Oliver182 says, don't replace files with dll.mui extension. But I replaced it perfectly, with my dual-boot, there can't be errors. BTW, thanks, i'll try
