Not to sound dense, but how do I use this theme?

Michel8170 In reply to lucy-grace [2007-09-20 20:13:25 +0000 UTC]

Hey there,

you need a patched uxtheme.dll file to use visual styles
VistaGlazz can patch the file for you: [link]

Replace your shell32 with the one coming with SatinΒ²

Just copy the theme folder in your c\windows\resources\themes folder and apply it

The included instructions are more detailed

Michel8170 In reply to poddytat [2007-09-19 00:08:02 +0000 UTC]

You need to change a value in the variant file to remove the userpic

Pls take a look at psycoB's tutorial: [link]

Hi Micheal this prob with the start orb, it seems to be only on my PC with 19" lcd monitor, it runs ok on my pc with 17" monitor. Both are running at 1280-1024 Res.

Michel8170 In reply to burgermanc [2007-09-18 15:58:41 +0000 UTC]

Ok, thanks for letting me know

But I have no idea how to to fix it then, because the orb image itself is ok. There's no
bug to see there.... Maybe really a problem with 19" and this resolution then... sorry

Sieht sehr cool aus. Was mir jetzt noch fehlen wΓΌrde, wΓ€re eine Animation des Ladebalkens, wenn eine Installation etc. ausgefΓΌhrt wird. Standard ist die Leiste ja grΓΌn und animiert. Hier ist sie leider nur schwarz.

Michel8170 In reply to Grospolina [2007-09-17 14:46:35 +0000 UTC]

Danke sehr

Die Animation sah beim schwarzen Balken nicht so toll aus, deshalb liess ich sie weg

this style is nice, but im having problems makin it work. when i click on the file it comes up as the VS i am already using and not as it should be.

Michel8170 In reply to maganelly [2007-09-16 19:45:36 +0000 UTC]

Pls copy only the folder with the style into your themes folder

Doubleclick the msstyle file, the 'apperance settings' window will open and choose the new visual style then. SatinΒ² will also appear as 'Aero' there

The screen resolution is no problem...

once again this is one of the finest clear themes out there on deviantart. if youre going to update satin you gotta add the crystal start orb...... so far i have not seen it on any of the clear themes. you gotta do it man! i think thatll look really nice and represent what clear is about......good job!

Michel8170 In reply to yoitzalvin [2007-09-15 00:49:41 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot

I already tested a transparent orb, but had different graphic bugs then.
Another problem is that you actually see all 3 orb states, when the image gets too transparent...
