I haven't been on linux in a while, but if someone is willing to make it, the style is open source.

Would someone be so kind to explain to me how i change my fonts? Not liking some of these. Opened up Utorrent and the kroeger font doesn't really mesh too well with it.

sweatyfish In reply to bob-loblawlaw [2009-03-04 00:09:17 +0000 UTC]

Should be able to delete the fonts from Windows\Fonts and reapply the style.

neilmccauley In reply to tyblos [2009-03-03 19:58:05 +0000 UTC]

the reason for your problem is the vista osx browseui you used doesn't work in basic; it's an aero browseui. i recommend the browseui files from sweatyfish's gallery. if you want to use a mac like than use this one [link] - it works in basic and looks very good.(included in the cairo inspired rar or zip)

Seems most of these skins for Vista basic have that blind spot when it comes to the search bar. I'm sure its a technical reason though.

Love these ports though anyway. So much cleaner than a lot of the aero skins. Keep it up.

I just noticed that the search field in the startmenu is invisble (like, black font on black background). You can use it, but you can't see the text. Is it a bug or intended?
