Hi all, this is my first Windows 7 VS, and I hope my last, damn 7 is a pain to skin!This is just a beta to work out any kinks, bugs or prefrences before I post the final. x32 only (Unless someone wants to help me convert.)
The finished product will have some more surprises for you all to enjoy.

i have an idea man....for that custom start button.
how about make one so that it starts off white when untouched but when you click or hover over it it gets the windows colours (parts from the other icon with colour you had).
What you think? Will there be a smooth transition?

Awesome, clear and slight skin! A little buggy, but you said it's beta anyway, so great job^^ Another Bug: The Aero Jump List is not always transparent, sometimes it's just black. Looking forward to seeing this theme finished! Keep on creating!

Awesome work so far, look forward to having the explorer.exe so I can have the whole look. Only thing is I wish I didn't read the comment about the rounded corners, I doubt I would have noticed them if I hadn't read that.
And it seems to work on 64 bit with no problems so far!

There is bug with tray icon of input method,the icon's background is white but not transparent.

chrislangle is right i agree with him. btw could you have a version where the path list in the explorer window like it normally is(white background box) since the white fog around the text.
Just setting the text as white looks better than putting the text as black and putting the white fog around it, looks less overcomplicated, the same with the text in the startmenu (compare shutdown button text to text above it.

Please take a look on screenshots:
Standard Windows 7 Theme: [link]
Your Lucid Theme: [link]
Compare 1: [link]
Compare 2: [link]
And what about User Picture in Start Menu?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see what you mean, call me crazy but my default start menu size is the same as the size of Lucid. Could it be that your language settings are affecting your start menu size?
Do have a version of Win 7 in English to compare start menu size to?
Or perhaps you could send me a copy of your Aero.msstyle to compare sizes.
Great comparison pics by the way! = )

Probably it depends on system language (Polish - PL). But if standard VS can display wider start menu, why Lucid VS can't? 
There is my standard Aero 7 VS folder which contains localized "PL" .msstyle file: [link]

Thanks for the PL aero.msstyle. I will work on it and try to get the margins just right. I'll get back to you soon!
