Second Update of my Vista "RC2" (now RTM) skinpack:

CHANGES in the 32px ("small" icons) version:
-Font of the titlebar has been improved ("darker", more Vista like)


CHANGES on BOTH (32px AND 48px) versions:
- Font of the "All Programs" has been improved ("darker", more Vista like)

- "All Programs" highlight has been turned to the orange used by Vista (arguably it would be better to use a graphic to accomplish the gradient and to maintain the black font like in other Vista skins but that would make every Windows XP system regardless if it's in English or not to read "All Programs" instead of "write-ALL PROGRAMS-in-any-other-language-here" and I am not willing to do that, this skinpack is intended for use in Windows XP systems all around the world) PLUS, using that "technique" makes a weird dark vertical rectangle appear on the left border of the Start Menu.

- The "Shut Down" and "Logoff" buttons IMAGES have been swaped to be like Vista. (CMON everybody knows that the rightmost button is the one you use to shutdown your computer and the leftmost button is the one used to logoff your session) (If it is that difficult to remember that, just remember then that those buttons do the "opposite" of what their graphics suggest).

- The "button" of the little arrow located at the right of the real Shutdown button has been thickened, more Vista-like

- The position of the magnifying glass in the "search field" of the Start Menu has been corrected. (moved a little to the left)

- The 2 previous Styler toolbars green tone has been corrected. Both toolbars have properly been named using a "2" at the end so you can easily keep the 2 previous versions in case you preffer the lighter green used in those toolbars, though this new "darker" green is the one Vista really uses.



As a bonus, I've included the 12 official Vista User Pics.

For the Clear Taskbar lovers (myself included) don't worry, I will upload both versions (32px and 48px) with clear taskbar and all the updates/corrections really soon.



PD: One quick question to the guys who have/are using the latest Vistas: What is the color of the highlight in the right-click menu? I'm almost sure it's blue (like the one in my skins), but lately I've begun to wonder... Just wanna be sure.

PD2: For better results, don't forget to use the LS Patch (sorry, not included... just Google it, it's easy to find) AND to Cut and Paste all the fonts included to your fonts directory (Usually the address to your fonts directory would be something like: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts)

PD3: Rubenernesto, fuck off :)

Everything is brilliant expect when i use IE7 it how has two address bar's and search bars (one for the skin and the other for explorer) which kind of looks odd.

Apart from that everything is beautiful.

Hello and thanks burtie. To overcome the IE7 (or any other application for that matter) you can use a nice feature supported in WB5 called "Per Application". Here are the directions to get it working:

go to the WindowBlinds configuration window:
-click "Per Application"
-click "Add per application setting"
-select application
-click on "Select skin..."
-select another vista-like skin you like
