Title Bar Mod - for Vista Visual Stylers (UPDATED 23/5/08)
----------------------------------------------

What does this Modification do?
---------------------------------------
You will not see any big changes to the visual style when first applied.
This Modification has been designed as a template for people who want to create there own Visual style.

In the past one of the biggest limitations in the aero.mssstyle is the aero Titlebar.
The Original Stream image only has a very small area assigned to the Titlebar, therefore making it
very difficult to create a detailed Titlebar as I have shown in the Example above.

Most windows blinds themes have detailed titlebar images, now this can be applied to the aero.msstyle

The important part of this edit is the new arrangement of the Stream 850.png which is governed by the variant.

The new Stream has a large Title bar area ready to be edited.

Also I have increased the Images margins for both aero and Basic Titlebars.
Left = 50px right= 50px Top=29px Bottom= 0px

So for example the left hand 50px will remain a fixed image in the titlebar when you resize a browser window.
Anything in between the left and right margins will be used for stretching.
(It would not be possible to maintain that curve shown in the example above when stretching the window)

The Tutorial will help you identify the image margins for the titlebars if you wish to make adjustments.
