Your SilverXP needs to use new undocumented LameSkin8 features which allow to change caption text shadow:

[Global]
ActiveShadow=0 (1 to enable - default)
ActiveShadowColor=R G B (0 0 0 - black by default)
InactiveShadow=0 (1 to enable)
InActiveShadowColor=R G B

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.ini

Look for:

TaskText=255 255 255
ClockText=255 255 255

Change to:

TaskText=0 0 0
ClockText=0 0 0

Save and then reselect SilverXP.

Thanks, it worked.

Oh man! Looks almost exactly like my 'VistaGlow' project. Looks like you beat me to it

I agree with you, this is definitely one of the best LameSkins

I've just upgraded to the Lameskin preview, and updated my Vista Standard skin to work with it. Here it is:

I've finished a remarcable skin, it's a classic. And here it's a nice wallpaper to go with it: http://rapidshare.com/files/65048289/longhornm4bliss2hf1.jpg

Thanx Tihiy for the suggestion.

^^ very nice. I suggest you to make active/inactive borders & title a bit more distinguishable.

New RP8 will contain all these themes?

IMHO it's useful to make a list.

may I ask why? The shadows seem to work for me...

Black text with black shadow?

Black text with black shadow?

Oh, that. I suppose lightning up the shadow would help a bit...

Tihiy, about the LameSkin 8 preview 3 for LameSkin 7, I'm having some trouble with old skins (i.e. the AeroBlue theme). It works for a while, but then everything touched by LameSkin gets all jumbled up and colors go crazy . If I switch to a skin with progress and scrollbar skinning support, though, it fixes itself. For now I just made my own, more compatible versions, but you may want to fix the .ini's for AeroBlue and Royale in the final version of LameSkin 8.

Hy! I found this it i must say it's awesome!!! :thumbup I have made a lameskin version of this theme. I will post it soon!
