                DESIGNED AND  MADE  IN   HELLAS   ( = GREECE ). 


                 
    Thank  You   for   Downloading   ZEUS  os X  SPIRIT OF LEOPARD FOR THE 32 BIT vista VERSION ,

    WHICH IS PART OF   Win  ZEUS  os X  THEME.

    Win  ZEUS  os X   is  a  Mac OSX   port  for  WIndows (VISTA),  made  by   IDAS = ZEUS osX.


    All the project of the theme from November 2006 (1 year before) had in mind to give the continuity (not a copy)

  of the fantastic brushed surfaces of os X  +  beautifull aqua style colors (a style which has soul, a style that can make you Feel it), modified 

  by me, giving my personal view for os X  (looking) for the world of Windows (Vista), a combination of crystal glass (on aero) and  brushed surfaces

  [ADDING in last visual styles gray leopard style surfaces], Win ZEUS os X designing rules, follow the principles of abstractiveness and simplicity, 

  under Zeus inspiration.


                     DESIGNED AND  MADE  IN   HELLAS   ( = GREECE ). 

__________________________________________________________________________

This UPDATING is for **WINDOWS VISTA 32bit ONLY**


1.    To use the   ''SPIRIT OF LEOPARD''  mstyleS  you have to choose,

   A.  you  must  install  a  Patched  uxtheme.dll , THANKS to RAFAEL.

      [ i.e. Go  to   website:  http://www.anti-tgtsoft.com/repository/.

      You have to select the 6th choice named uxtheme, then choose what kind of your version OPERATING system is (for example 

      Windows Vista sp0), after downloading you follow the instructions given. Also inside the ZEUS os X THEME Hex-elixis

      exist a notepad file with name (Obtaining Permissions and ownership of vista system files, READ FILE) which helps.] or


   B. [OR using the theme WITH the  vista os x PROJECT BY Patrickgs (http://patrickgs.deviantart.com/ )] or


   C. Also If you want to see quiqly the visual style (without the other system files have to be replaced , forexample without ZEUS

      Back & Forward Buttons ) and the procces changing uxtheme is difficult, then use VistaGlazz, http://www.codegazer.com/vistaglazz/


      BECAUSE the vista shows all the visual styles as aero and aero basic please download DeskHack for Windows Vista
   
      Thanks to Michael, http://www.aeroxp.org/board/index.php?showtopic=9338 and make enable to see the visual styles on vista with their real name.
                       
 2.  Copy   folder   ZEUSosX  cursors ,   to   C: \ WINDOWS \ Cursors \  ZEUSosX   cursors.
     
     Copy  all wallpapers included on  Win  ZEUS  os X  Hex-elixis  from  the  folder  of  the theme, Wallpaper to  C: \ WINDOWS \ Web \ Wallpapers.


3.  Copy   the  folder -  of  the  Mstyles   - [OPEN each of the folders having VISTA VISUAL STYLES [ 1. AGE OF TECHNOLOGY  LEOPARD STYLE  VISTA VISUAL STYLES, 2. SPIRIT OF LEOPARD   VISTA VISUAL STYLES], and copy the visual styles  included,  to    "C:\ windows \     Resources / Themes /" 

    (provided   C   is your  Windows  drive).
       
     
4.  On file  'BUTTONS   STYLES '  included 3 kind of  Back & Forward Buttons (browseui.dll) to choose, [1] one with circle style  Back & Forward Buttons   
   
    (itunes6 style) and the other 2 with square style Back & Forward Buttons (finders style),
   
    [2. with GRAY HOVER, 3.with  light blue HOVER,  see pictures included inside them]. it is in your taste what to choose.

    Also included a Welcome Center ZeusOsX style (oobefldr.dll)


   So if you like to change the looking of Back & Forward Buttons (browseui.dll) and that of Welcome Center (oobefldr.dll) you have to replace the  original 
   
   browseui.dll and oobefldr.dll included on c/Windows\System32,


a. Obtain Permisions and Ownership of Both browseui.dll and oobefldr.dll 
   
   Located  both in c/Windows\System32 [usually in C: drive] 

   (use the "Obtaining Permissions and ownership.txt" notepad file included on this pack for help on installing)

   Afterthis (remember after Obtain Permisions and Ownership), a good practice is to save now to a safe place of your hard disc this original dll.

   For example make a new folder on C and name it original dll,then copy there your original dll of your system that you want to replace)

b. Backup also you original browseui.dll and oobefldr.dll by renaming them Browseui.old and oobefldr.old

c. Copy your choosen Win  ZEUS  os X  Hex-elixis THEME, browseui.dll and oobefldr.dll from this pack to Windows\System32

d. Log off and back on to see changes.


                                                 MADE  IN   HELLAS   ( = GREECE ). 


The theme will have some limitations  in use, as i have not enough time to complete, in the way i want.

LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USING

After a lot of search , i found how to enable changing the Height of TAB ITEMS [on a position that the font letters would be on the center of the height of your tabitem image] but unfortunately this kind of changing of the height (adding code) i use, makes some ''bugs'' ( on welcome center problem of shorter first line , top arrow on scrolbar also [both are 4 pixels up).
SO SORRY I HAVE NOT TIME TO CORRECT these problems now.

ATTENTION

For having the right view of the ''SPIRIT OF LEOPARD'' Visual styles you must do first this:

right clik to your desktop, select Personalise.

then select first (1) choice 'Window Color and Appearance'. Select enable transparency.

then select on color intencity slider button to the start ( full to the left), so there will be with no color as possible.

then select 'sHOW COLOR MIXER' , select second (2) slider 'saturation' button ( full to the left), so there will be with no color as possible.

select the third (3)  slider button  'Brightness' (near the  middle, or between midle and right, depending from the color of the background wallpaper you 

use it) so there will be invisible as possible the borders of the windows of the current 'leopard no border style' visual styles of the theme.
 
ALSO: 

1. do not change border padings 

2. do not change font size (leave it 96 dpi font size)

3. on menu, the number of recent programs to display must be around 10 (= X),
   [or whatever value  it makes the lines on menu (ie. 13, 9, 11 etc), having equal positions] via right
   clik to your taskbar appears Taskbar and start menu propperties 
   and then select start menu/customize/ start menu size, number of recent programs to display change it to 10(OR 9, OR WHATEVER). 

4. circle style image 515 does not looking well, to long shape elements that they use it, as i have not the answers i expect about this since now. 

5. i  give you 2 kind of shellstyles , the one of them it is slightly 
better on aero and autohide the folderband, but to this you must not dissapear/deselect  navigation pane via organize/layout/ navigation pane, or simply use the other kind of shellstyle i will post, in which the folderband is always open.
To appear the folderband you have to right clik   over file 'Folders' on your navigation pane, when using autohide folderband shellstyle.dll.

 

6. for better of the theme looking, special for aero basic please use YzShadow  .(my oppiion for working correct is to use it on vista as compatible with windows xp, via right click on   YzShadow properties/copatibilities/ run this program in compatibiity mode, select windows xp).  
YzShadow (http://www.osx-e.com/downloads/utilities/yzshadow.html )

7. for left side buttons use please leftsider. (http://hsiw.web.fc2.com/ )


8. ADDING A KIND OF SEPARATOR TO THE NAVIGATION PANE, (LEFT PART OF THE WINDOW), ON WINDOWS VISTA see :

    http://zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/SEPARATOR-for-navigation-pane-71805336


9.FOR HAVING A BACKGROUND CHOOSEN BY YOU, ON A FOLDER ON WINDOWS VISTA  see  VE'S Vista Folder Background on  

http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/vista/     and  read CHANGING FOLDER'S BACKGROUND IMAGES read file included on folder of this theme ''mac style
 
folder's backgrounds''  and use the mac style images for windows vista i made.

    Win  ZEUS  os X  ( so also ''SPIRIT OF LEOPARD'') is   inspired   by   Z E U S .

    IN  ancient  and  in  nowdays  Hellenic (=Greek)  [ Active  CODE ]   language,   every    letter,  

    and  every   word  is  a  specific  number ,  and   it  has  a  specific  meaning.


    ZEUS   ( or  DEUS or  DIAS)   is   Master  of  immortal  Gods  in  Hellenic (=Greek)   Active  

    CODE  [arithmetic machine logic]  language.


    His Main weapon is lightning and lightnes. He could transformate his alive code MATERIAL BEING to whatever He likes.

   APPLE is the given gift from ZEUS, in this Hellenic (=Greek) tradition.(so the using of apple logo i use)

   SO , i am trying to show the relations of the clasic hellenic=greek with modern times and eternity.


   The light comes from apple's technology, interface also looking, and i Think that  it is our choice to transforn it as a part 

   of progress in our tradition style.


   ZEUS  os X = Pavlos Pitselas
