Best Vista skin?

Just wondering, what is the best Vista / Aero skin around? And is there somebody working on a version for WB5? v5 will be a giant leap for customizekind

It's a bit hard to know now that Aero-Soft is gone. Hopefully this section will be a good replacement.

I'm first ever to post here :cool:

hi

personally for me the best vista skin is made by kol.

VistaXP v2 WB

it's a great skin for windowblinds. it supports Transparency on window frames and titlebar buttons, Transparency on taskbar and much more by using windowblinds 5.

it's free and kol updatest the style continuously.

Best Visual Style for Windows: VistaXP V2 VS by -kol

Best WindowBlinds 5 Skin: Vista XP V2 WB by -kol (oops, allready mentioned...)

Those two Skins/Themes work even nicer with the Vista Inspirated Shell Pack from CrystalXP.net

Bister is also pretty nice, if you like really dark themes. Susumu also has different color versions available here.

Hey, Vide. I'm probably just being ignorant but what's the theme in the attached picture, WIP?

#337872

The Arrow theme mentioned earlier in the thread is the one I'm using now, it looks great with WB5! :cool:

@vide12301230,

Where'd you come across your toolbar icons in your ss? I downloaded dreamland but the wbskin did not seem to come with the toolbar in the screenshot. I looked in the 'toolbars' section of the windowblinds configuration screen and indeed there's an entry for dreamland, however, the icons shown are the default windows XP ones. Any advice?

EDIT: Figured it out: I just needed to edit the "DreamLand Subskin.ToolBarIcons" file since it had outdated directory paths to the toolbar image files. For anyone else who had the same problem, this is the fix. I really like this toolbar set, unfortunately, it's incomplete. But the reflection effect is very elegant. Anyone else know of a similar toolbar set they'd recommend?

@vide12301230,

thank you very much for sharing, I do not use stylertb but if ever i come around.. this will definitely be one of the reasons.

I like Arrow very much, using it right now.

It comes with shadows, and there's also a shadowless subskin for those who prefer that.

#338279

is there a transparent vista-like theme with a thin black taskbar?

no u cant get Vista glass effect with any VS, the only thing that does that for windows right now is Windows Blinds 5, And so far i havnt seen any theme with glass and black taskbar.

#338348

VS can not support png and glass effect

I think only WB 5 can do it now. Arrow looks very like the vista , I think it is the best vista skin .
