Description Five different shellstyles for everybody who's tired of the Vista standard shell.

I just recently started to make my own shellstyles for Windows Vista, and thought they might be worth a release.

Enjoy



Comments / critics / suggestions welcome.



Hope you like them.



Special thanks to sonicexcess who encouraged me to start with this

If its possible, could you create a glass toast version of these shells. (The glass with the diagonal stripes)

Michel8170 In reply to EpsilonIota [2009-04-26 15:21:39 +0000 UTC]

Well, yes, but the diagonal stripes will not be displayed properly (because of the streching)

...that's why I never released them

hey michel just when i was about to release my VS I notice something with the shell style. When you go to save something, it shows the text for example "Save As" in black and you can see the blue in the background so no one can read........ Hope you dont mind me looking at one of your other shells to see what else will work.

No problem, but the shellstyle always shows up in the dialog boxes

Thanks a lot for your comment.
It is possible to have changing colors in the shellstyle depending on the content of the folder (eg. blue for music folders, green for folders with video...).

I didn't add this to my shells, because I think this would look better with unicolor shellstyles rather than the designs I used.

Very beautiful shellstyles. It really makes the look of Vista better.
I was wondering. I have tried five beta version of vista, and i remember that in one of these version, the color changes when going to an map containing pictures. I thought that the shell style color normaly was green, but then changes to an orange color. Like this:

It that also possible in your shell styles?
I hope so

Keep up the great work!

These look really great and I'm glad you have decided to release them. You do have a good eye for shellstyles, and ike I said before, I'd love to see what themes you could create. Get practising and start creating!
