This is now my favorite style, the only problem I had with it were the scrollbars but I used stylebuilder to change them back to default

I can see it was some time ago, when you were posting it, but could you help me to do that? I have this Vista Style Builder, what did you changed in msstyles?

Seriously, very good job.

Sure mate, you can also uplaoad it if you want...
You have my permission to do with the images whatever you want as long as it's not comercial and you share alike
Unfortunately i deleted nearly all i had...
Here's what is left: [link]
If you need a specific image, i'll try to export them from the visual style

Congrats, it looks sharp. Unfortunately, the light blue color present on both menus and disk usage doesn't really fit the overall dark theme. Also, the bright orange really looks out of place. If you made a theme variation with those two colors replaced by less saturated colors or just monochromatic tones, that would be amazing. Other than that, great theme, and it really makes up for a slender dark theme.

Hey, what is that "Obsidian" called?
Cause I can't find it in the Theme package, can you maybe link me?
π: 0 β©: 1
What exactly are you looking for?
The Visual Style or the wallpaper?
If you patched your system, you just have to paste the folder containing the .msstyles-files and the .theme-files into your C/windows/resources/temes-folder and double-click on the .theme file you want to load

Well i ve downloaded it and faved it, but i haven't be able to use it since yesterday, cuz some random crashes made me almost threw my pc out of the window 
I know there are many other good works around here, for all different tastes, but only a few are usable in a long term of time...
And to tell you the truth i am a little tired seeking the perfect vs that is kinda minimal but 100% usable in the same time.
For me Relax, Clearscreen Sharp and maybe Glass Onion are some of them!But they all have this white-ish transparent window that makes my eyes hurt 
And here we are with this amazing work!You sir did a fantastic job with this one!
But, (there is always a but... )
I need a left or right taskbar.... 
And also if it is possible, maybe you could add some extra light in the running application? That sir would make this easily my next TCDVS!!! ( top custom default visual style
Nevertheless i thank you for all your great and hard work!!! Keep up!!!

Thank you very much, mate!
I'm so glad people see what I intended to do with this one...
I really wanted to create an alternative Visual Style to the aero look, aiming for long term usage.
I was planing to do the left and right taskbar very soon, since so many people asked for it, but just didn't have the time to do it properly. Some images are finished and ready to be imported, so it won't take long!
Currently, I'm working on the Skyrim VS, but maybe i manage to update this one until Monday...
In the meantime I suggest you to try the basic Version! It completely supports left and right taskbar positions...
As for your computer errors: If they are related to customization and missing or edited system files, try the sfc/scannow command.
start > run > cmd > type sfc /scannow and let it scan, it will fix all the files that are incorrect. However once it's done you will have to run the uxtheme patcher again.
Thanks for your amazing comment! I really apprecate that you took your time to write this review!

I already use the basic files cuz if i enable desktop composition my bf3 game crashes in a weird DICE way
No no mate...No problems with customizing
It's probably a voltage problem and i m looking to buy a new power supply!
Take all the time you need!Good things are worth the wait

Hey mate, just wanted to let you know that i didn't forget about your request...
I just hadn't have the time
It's still on my list though

No problem mate!! I am using the basic version so there is no hurry
hope it's all good for u cuz here is tough!
We ll find our way though...

Hey mate,
fixed the image problem with the taskbar left/right
Sorry it took so long...
I didn't really change the taskitem buttons, since i would have to make two other versions for left and right each

Du weiΓt ja, ich mag am liebsten die Kombi von Schwarz und Orange. Das gibt Deinem VS einen ganz besonderen Touch
Eine wirklich klasse Arbeit...

Nochmal herzlichen Dank!
Ich benutze den VS hier auch schon mit am lΓ€ngsten
Updates werden wohl keine mehr folgen, da ich mit dem Endergebnis wirklich zufrieden bin...
WΓΌnsch dir noch nen schΓΆnen Sonntag!

Hey is there a way to change the colour of the progress bar and the hard drive bars? The colours are a bit too light for me.
π: 0 β©: 2
+1 the the progress bar and the scroll bar are barely visible.

I know the feeling, I've tried to follow the instructions that snipes outlined, and in the end I couldnt change it, so I'll let the pros do it.

You would have to edit custom images, there's no easy way to do that...
π: 0 β©: 1
what software would you use to change the colours? if thats okay with you.
π: 0 β©: 1
You will need gimp or photoshop to edit the images and Ave's Windows Style Builder to export and import the files
