I didn't see that export button in regedit before, and I sure didn't want to have to copy down all those numbers by hand...AeroGlow should be up and running very soon!
October 20, 200718 yr Author Here is an VistaAero concept.You took those resources from 5048? WLP official style is using some of those resources as well...
October 21, 200718 yr Here is an VistaAero concept.You took those resources from 5048? WLP official style is using some of those resources as well...Sorry i'm not familiar with this terms: "5048" and "wlp" ???? WLP=WindowsLupus??? I took the resources from an xp theme i had on my computer. Edited October 21, 200718 yr by Xstyle
October 21, 200718 yr Author Well WLP is Lupus and your XP theme is using the 5048 resources then Maybe you haven't known...I am talking about Longhorn 5048 Build ofc... Edited October 21, 200718 yr by marxo
October 21, 200718 yr Well WLP is Lupus and your XP theme is using the 5048 resources then Maybe you haven't known...I am talking about Longhorn 5048 Build ofc...I had a pack with 30 themes for XP, and i've got it from there. Anyeay i've finished my best vista theme, a glass vista.

October 22, 200718 yr Hey guys! Another skin that I've made for you all, this time being a simple port of the Windows XP Silver theme. Like I said, it's ported, so you'll find everything just like the real Windows XP. There's even a wallpaper in there that completely matches the theme, so you should be all set. I didn't make a screenshot because I think probably everyone here has seen the XP Silver theme before SilverXP.rar Edited October 22, 200718 yr by LukeSkillz

I didn't make a screenshot because I think probably everyone here has seen the XP Silver theme before WOW, I have to say, this is one of the best skins I have seen so far. But a little suggestion, you might want to alter the text colors a bit since they blend into the background, but otherwise this is a great theme. Thanks!
October 23, 200718 yr WOW, I have to say, this is one of the best skins I have seen so far. But a little suggestion, you might want to alter the text colors a bit since they blend into the background, but otherwise this is a great theme. Thanks!For the time being, you can actually fix that (by changing the text to black) by adjusting the following lines:Open C:\windows\resources\SilverXP\Skin.iniLook for:TaskText=255 255 255ClockText=255 255 255Change to:TaskText=0 0 0ClockText=0 0 0Save and then reselect SilverXP.
October 23, 200718 yr About your glassed theme - Black close glyphs and squared scroll buttons don't really go with glass in anyway...Thanx for the observation!

Thanks!It looks great, but with no scroll progress track skinning! Hmmm...it was better if it had the this two also! Edited October 23, 200718 yr by Xstyle
October 23, 200718 yr It looks great, but with no scroll progress track skinning! Hmmm...it was better if it had the this two also!That's because I don't have the beta version (or whatever the newest version is) of LameSkin. As I recently went through great lengths to get my Windows 98 SE laptop stable, I'm not so quick to alter it right now. And as far as the text goes, I actually did try to change it, but I didn't notice those text color lines in the skin.ini . Thanks for pointing that out Chozo4
October 23, 200718 yr Alright, I've updated to the LameSkin preview 3 after all (nice update, Tihiy ) and so I've also updated the SilverXP skin to version 1.1. So here's the RAR of the new skin for those who want the updates, and I've also made a screenshot this time:Please note that the actual skin is much higher quality than the screenshot shows.
