Here are the dll files, don't have the icons themself here right now.
Also not sure if those dll files are the correct ones xD, tell me if they aren't the correct ones

So what happened? Any chances you'd release this as a visual style?

looks good, have you thought about doing a transparent version? similar to the Darwin theme floating around dA right now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
strange, it looks grey in the screenshot... I mean the bit around the address/search bar, the top of the window
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know it's blue grey, it's a bit more blue since the wallpaper is blue ^^

Oho, I might finally be able to use a new VS.
Will you be making a version without the dummy buttons, but with the three circles on the right instead?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
those buttons in the left are the real ones which work for REAL(thanks to leftsider)
and when you want them on the right side you just don't use the leftsider app and see them perfectly on the right side with the dummy on the left
some info about that lonely icon in the corner: it's a mimic of the button found in mac os x lion where the button maximizes the window into fullscreen(F11), I'm trying to let that fake button in this VS also work the same way ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh haha, I misunderstood. But how are you going to do that? Not all programs in Windows have a fullscreen mode like the ones featured in Lion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
then it simply won't work(button clicking will let happen nonthing)
or maybe I can make it so that it will only show that button on apps that does
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome. That brings me on that idea why not making a task bar which looks like a tab bar. So active buttons would fit to the wallpaper color. Waddayathink?

any plans to port this to gtk at some point? (i know it's similar to wave, but i like the blue-ish grey of explorer in the screenshot)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I will with the next gtk engine
and to make the grey blueish I just made the grey at some places a little bit transparant ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
right. hm. maybe i'll do a grey-blue-ish variation of greybird at some point.
transparency is simply not working well enough in gtk to try it your way...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it does in next engine(tested pre builds myself

adwaita? unico? or $thenextbigthing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
murrine if I remember it ok :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hm, thought you were talking about gtk3. (murrine won't support that, they decided to start from scratch so cimi is developing "unico" for canonical/ubuntu now)
anyway, very nice clouds wallpaper! is there any way to get a hold of that? (you only mention "Soft Sky" in the description, but the image in your dA gallery with that name is not the clouds, instead something with very similar shades of blue.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the clouds is inside my wave theme for windows
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I can't find that in the manual folder. only Soft Sky is there, with the "unfocused bubbles", not the clouds

:/
anyway heres a link then [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks! it looks great even with the default windows theme (specially at logon, try it 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know ^^ I made it when I had the default windows theme running

strange, i downloaded that 30mb archive and looked inside, but all i could find was that blue wallpaper with the "fireflies"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm
then it would be inside the custopack :/
but whatever here you got a direct link to the wallpaper: [link]
