Finally got around to making a visual style, it's my first one ever. This one so far is Windows Vista only, and Aero only. It's only a screen shot so far, but I wanted to share it. I might upload what I have finished later on depending if people want it. ^_^

Edit: Forgot to mention, that you need to patch a few .dll files to get this to work. I used something called Vista Glazz, makes patching pretty streamline, instead of taking control of each of the three .dll files and then replacing em. If you want to do it manually you can get the patched files from anti-tgtsoft. You can get this working with Vista SP1 by using the manual method, files are uxtheme.

Thanks. ^^ I'm shooting to have it done by early to mid February, so expect it then <_< I'll have a Vista Basic one done probably by the end of February, early March, and an XP one soon after that.

  • Interests:I love anime and games! I collect manga more than I do anime 'cause it's cheaper, though, and cosplay from time to time. Hopefully I'll have a decent Jackle costume done in time for Nan Desu Kan this year XD. I also like yaoi, DDR, um...pandas...and yaoi. I don't like mainstream anime much though; most of it isn't very good anyway....
That's the sh*t. Pity I don't have Vista...guess I'll just have to wait for the XP version.... Hurry plz?

Nice work C:

Thanks for the comments ;) I don't think I'll get around to making any big changes on this from what I already have. The only think I think I might do is make a Windows Vista Basic version. Maybe an XP version if time permits, and when I get around to making a lite XP install and a Virtual PC of it. But I just uploaded the theme and style, so enjoy. Just use the same link, and download it from my dev page. :blink: Vista Aero only for now

>.< Forgot to mention you need "patched" .dll files to use custom visual styles. I just edited my first post with some info on this.

  • Interests:I like NiGHTS, Sonic games, the Nightmare Before Christmas (I wonder what would happen if Oogie and Reala met... hmmmm.....) Writing, drawing, art in any way, shape, or form, hard rock music, dancing wildly even though I can't dance for crap. I write poetry and lyrics (although they're not very good T__T) and comedy movies. I love the Dreamcast podcast that DiGi and TRiPPY put on. I also enjoy thinking outside the box. I'm what is known as a Meathead. I can laugh at myself, think outside the box, and smile. Meatheads are smarter than your average Joe, with much more common sense and the rare ability to find creative solutions to problems. My idol is a man named Jimmy Dolittle. Look him up ^.~
I have Mac OS X... T_T

Which stuff isn't working? What steps were you taking to get it to work?
To run custom themes, run vista glazz, follow the instructions on there, it'll need a restart.
Then copy the custom theme to the directory (c>windows>resources>themes)
Then apply the theme.
