MrGRiM Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Just confirming: Full theme replacements restore everything good that has been lost from decent themes, like graphics on scroll bar thumbs and even rounded buttons, right? What tools do you recommend with which to develop themes, MrGRiM? -NoelI could do with the original RP theme msstyles, I used to have it but I can't seem to locate it now, all I have is the theme atlas, I have the original msstyles for the CP so I could use that depending on what was changed between the 2, looking at the images it looks like aside from the atlas there is very little difference as it still contains all the rounded buttons and so from Windows 7.

MagicAndre1981 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Which tools do you use to create those atlas files? I also want a RP theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go ==> http://ge.tt/8ygwo5D2/v/0?cThanks, ~DP Thanks for the RP msstyles, I went ahead and created a theme with what I had but this will still come in handy to see what differences there were, you can grab the theme here http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/173681-custom-themes-for-windows-10-build-10041 Here is a preview. After inspection of this msstyles you gave me I can see it's very different so I will have to make a few changes, the one I posted is more a Windows 7 RP mix, some may like it still I guess though.

NoelC Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I like the scroll bar thumb. One could put an eye out with those sharp window corners, though. -Noel Edited March 28, 2015 by NoelC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DosProbie Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sharp corners can Look really good if done right, besides variety is the spice of life.~DP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The variety spice I like is where the theme makes it easy to sense the difference between window corners, button/control corners, and client areas. This "Modern" BS makes everything just blend together. I understand it - Microsoft has a mandate to "make the UI disappear", but their engineers just take things too literally. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
