Description
A new minimalistic Visual Style for Windows 7---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What makes this Visual Style special is, that you are able to adjust
the color of the frames, the start menu and the taskbar
like in the standard aero visual style of Windows 7!
I kept the rest of the Visual Style monochrome,
so it is compatible with almost every wallpaper.
You can see another preview here: [link] and here: [link]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pack contains two versions with different explorerframe.dll files:
next level solid - with Mac inspired frames
next level genuine - with Windows inspired frames
I highly recommend you to use the Chiquis shell32.dll files
by =kiko11 . You can download them here:[link]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you very much for downloading my art!
I'm always happy to see what people do with my stuff,
so feel free to send me a link to your screenshots!
Please let me know if you encounter any bugs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nice, but I just don't like looks of Normal Button cause it looks like it is already clicked (your "Nein" buttons looks like clicked). Better try with something different. Other than that... it's very nice style.

I like it but the window shadow is to thick/dark (genuine visual style) and active window button (in task bar) needs a little polish, like "Frost visual style". Also genuine visual style which is the one I like doesn't jive well with Firefox.

Can you make a version for CustoPack?
π: 0 β©: 2
CustoPack is for lazy people you can not rely on someone packing everything for you.

If you need any help, just ask!

Save yourself some trouble, provide a [link] and the images themselves for the users to add. No incompatibilities either.

I already uploaded the image files here: [link]
I for one prefer to get finished dll files since you can edit more files with the restorator and this tool is limited to only a few images.

when i put up the explorerframe my explorer.exe throwed out an error that explorerframe has an error or doesnt run.. i had to put the default one back

Which version did you use?
Do you have a x32 or a x64 system?
π: 0 β©: 1
Some people seem to have trouble with the x32 files...
since i can't fix them myself, maybe you could try replacing the images on your own.
Here's an easy-to-use tool: [link]
and here are the images: [link]

Argh, sorry for the late comment mate, but I forgot all about it
Anyway, this VS looks really good man, well one. I really like how the explorer and the start menu looks, simple & elegant. However, on the "Genuine" version, the frames seems a bit rough, especially on smaller windows, jumplists, thumbnails and such.

Thanks a lot for the feedback and the feature in your group!
The bug with the frames is caused by a bigger top window frame image.
I needed one because of the gradients in the top frame.
Unfortunately i know of no way to fix it for the small ones ...
Let me know if you know more about it.
Thanks again!
