Instructions:

Nice thanks

Really nice! Just needs the Tango icons:

Yes, but LameSkin isn't created to support icons only Native Skinning...
Of course, if u add them with some 3rd party app it gives a whole new look...

yeah, I would really like to see some screenshots from people who downloaded it just to compare... and also if u experience any bugs just tell about it...

My screenshot of theme.
I don't think that there are bugs... wonderful.

Maybe you can correct arrow behind My Computer (screenshot 2).

Thanks...

And if this is what u meant : Click to view attachment

Update: And this one : Click to view attachment

It should be better...
Ofcoz u should copy those in %windir%\Resources\Ubuntu

It's perfect, thanks!

An Opinion, I've recreated Vista theme... try it and let me know.
If there is something to edit, please post me your modifications.

OK here is my evaluation of your theme. I'm a perfectionist so u really shouldn't pay attention to all i wrote. Even if it might not look like that i really appreciate your work and i that the theme is good.



I'm experimenting with RGBA due to the fact that Tihiy didn't document everything properly and if i get something i'll give u some better themes...

Here is another theme made by (guess who?) me....

For girl, mom, wife or somebody else... Pink and sexy

Theme:


Registry:


I would like some evaluation pls...

Thats danm nice my wife loves it!

Max_04 Your theme could become a very good Longhorn theme....

Any plan to build a Crystal Clear and/or CrystalXP theme(s) ?

...I really hate Vista/Longhorn icons&themes !

When I've a bit of time, certainly.

I think that this is my final Vista theme.
Try it.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=702222

Click on file reg to execute it and copy Vista folder in c:\windows\resources.

It's better than the older one but u still have some small bugs like in Toolbar Buttons... When u click on a button it some pixels are messed up...

When i see your theme it just reminds me to make a Longhorn theme and I will do that soon...

This time toolbar buttons come from original Vista theme published by Tihiy.
Oh, excuse me.... I must reupload attachment ... done now, try again!

Most important thing is to know photoshop and a minimum of graphic.
The rest is enough easy.

Chapter 1

To add a new theme, create a copy of an existent theme of reference in c:\windows\resources (in this example "Vista"), and edit name of folder (for example I modify "Vista" in "Mytheme").

Last passage, rename inside themes.reg (allocated in "lame" folder of RP) the correspondent string of your existent theme of reference for example Vista in MyTheme.
Then, double-click themes.reg.

In this way you've a new theme based on a existent theme, to modify.

Chapter 2

Step 1: you can modify desktop color, fonts, titlebar color on "properties" > "appearance".

http://hsc.unm.edu/wbc/images/chgdisplayprop.gif

When you've finished, click on "save as" and overwrite theme with same name.

To see "real" result with lameskin, simply change theme and set again your theme.

Step 2: edit images in "c:\windows\resources\Mytheme" with photoshop or similar.

To see "real" result with lameskin, simply change theme and set again your theme.

Chapter 3

When you've completed theme, export in regedit this entire key in a file called MyTheme.reg:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Appearance\Schemes

After, delete all themes strings except your theme strings.

To publish theme please attach folder of theme allocated in c:\windows\resource and file reg in a rar or zip archive here.


I hope to be useful.

There isn't neither a lameskin documentation that explains how modify buttons, nor an order... it is necessary to make more tests and see results.
It's a gradual process.

Good luck.

A preview of Plex (Longhorn) Theme....

I'll release it soon...



And yeah maybe i'll make a documentation (or at least a kind of) to provide details in LS skinning...

Hope to see that Tiger theme screenshot really soon...

Plex Theme (from Longhorn) is finally done. I had some small difficulties but i've managed to survive.
Please evaluate and I need some critics....

And Wallpaper?
Start button is too much simple, taskbar color is different from titlebar color of windows, I don't like close/minimize/maximize buttons.

Thanks for all efforts, thanks to you I'm updating an italian version of RP to add new themes.

The theme is directly ported from Longhorn so i cannot argue about it's look... It is Plex as it is (was) and the wallpaper is available on Google and milions of sites more cuzz it is M4 Bliss (official)...

For example here: http://barca.daa.jp/archives/Longhorn%20M4%20Bliss.jpg

Well, it is interesting but too unpolished:
- Boring color scheme
- Small caption buttons
- Taskbar buttons bug
- Active/Unactive windows use same color
NoPremultAlpha must be =0 in all themes one want to make.
NoPremultAlpha=1 is used only in Vista basic skin because Microsoft made bitmaps in Vista msstyles purposefully with pre-multiplied alpha channel. There is no tool to pre/de-multiply alpha channel for images, so that switch was made.

Someone should slice off your head for this 5 MB of graphic s***!!!

Just a suggestion... Go and kill yourself... U've put 5mb of pictures into your post...

Moderator, delete that s***...

I would ban patchworks only because exists.

-

1st sorry for so big images, but thumbnails where broken... not my fault.


Dhehe, i'll be glad to be banned from MSFN: not a great loss, sincerly (without offense for anyone).

BTW, i have censored myself.

Well if thumbs are broken don't put images edit that post and put links....

Post cleaned.

-

Screenshot please...

Once I get caption buttons working
+I think i need permession from hobbes at aqua-soft

What happened with that theme dude. Tihiy even gave u documentation ppl c'mon. Start drawing... or painting..

-

U don't need permision to post a screenshot.... Post it soon...

Screenshots are very easy goto a image hosting site like http://www.imagevenue.com and upload your image in one of the supported formats and it will give you the code to copy and paste for a click-able Thumbnail.

Rule on screenies.

-

^^ Oh that's crap.
And you won't succeed if you're unable to overcome limitations. What is "invisable borders"? You can just tweak scheme to make border size = 0, and make border bitmaps with the same color as window color.
Because your caption buttons won't be resized, you'd better use AeroButtons=1 and tweak AeroButtonsTop and AeroButtonsMinRight. You may also need to convert those bitmaps to 32-bit color ones with alpha channel.

-

-

Well the safest way (what I used to do when I didn't want to bother with creating transparency) is to load an image that is already saved as 32-bit transparent and to paste your image over it. But you should never delete that background from the original file.

If u can't do it yourself pls post your work (that u have now) and I or anybody else interested will change it or fix it (maybe add something new)...

Hy...i have a question: i installed the lameskins from rev pack7 alone without the rev pack and they doesn't work. Why? The caption buttons are the same, the taskbar is the same... Please help!

Components from RP cannot be installed separately people remember that!!!

Thanx!
