Dblake1 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) This theme is Release #4 of my 1st lameskin theme ever. this theme is in a "Beta" stage, if you will, so i'm still making modifications to it as people give me suggestions.

Many thanks to Tihiy for making Revolutions Pack!!!! Without it, we'd still have a dull boring Windows 98SE!!! Sorry for the delayed release, but I got a new computer and had to install Windows 98SE on a VM (and I just haven't had time).New Release:Longhorn_release_4.exeAlternate Links to old release (Release 3):Longhorn YVH thru rapidshareOther LinkScreenShot:Can ppl please try out my theme? thx...

Aloha Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hello Dblake1I downloaded your two files but I couldn't extracted them with WinRar. I got these error messages:! D:\screenshot.zip: Unknown method in screenshot.bmp! D:\screenshot.zip: No files to extract! D:\Longhorn_release_3.zip: Unknown method in Longhorn_release_3.exe! D:\Longhorn_release_3.zip: No files to extractToo bad I can't give your theme a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblake1 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I packaged them with 7-Zip Portable. or the regular Windows Installation: 7-Zip Regular Installation A RapidShare Link has also been added above.

Aloha Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks for the link to 7-Zip, Dblake1. I don't know why WinRar couldn't extract you file while it can be associated with 7-Zip. I installed your theme. I like all these buttons: Minimize, Maximize, Close, and Help. They are great. Start button and Taskbar look nice too although I don't like grey much. Such buttons as OK, Apply, Cancel are so strange and not beautiful to me. Maybe I don't have a good taste to give comments on your theme, just some of my own ideas of what I like and don't like.And one more thing, Dblake1. Inactive windows have a little pink at their round Titlebar corners. Active Titlebar looks just fine. Does this happen to you? Or it just happens to my lame computer, I wonder?

Dblake1 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) the pink around the Inactive titlebars has been fixed...you have to download and install the theme again...extract it to the desktop and run "install.bat"...if its already installed, it will say "Unable to create directory" and it will install anyways. this is expected because there is already a folder with that name...if you are installing it for the first time, you have to merge "Longhorn.reg" into the registry...

Aloha Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I've just downloaded your new release and will tell you about it tomorrow night. It's too late now at my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
