Artist's Comments

First off I would like to thank Andreas Verhoeven aka Ave for letting me create this theme in his amazing program, Vista Style Builder (previously AveStyle).

History:
We all know about Savoury's Target: Longhorn right? The theme that had a promised date of February 2nd, 2008? Well after he didn't show, the Longhorn fans grew irritated. All he did was tease 'n' leave. The Longhorn Fusion Team, at this point still working on LHIE and the old LHE, quickly gave notice. After a while we decided to hop on board and have a "have at it" ourselves. The problem was the large navigation buttons. (Which after research we found he did the same thing with the 97dpi.) After word went around (can't remember who found it) all hell broke loose in Longhorn themes. However we didn't just focus on the buttons. We focused on the experience. We kept adding things until Beta II. At this point nothing else could be done. Well we continuously poked around trying to make breakthroughs. Not much though. It wasn't until UK.Intel recommended me to Ave to help him with some naming for VSB. From June 10th, 2008 until September 3rd, 2008 I've used this amazing program and I still find new things everyday! I've added...

* Taskbar glow.
* Address bar glow.
* Multiple DPI image settings.
* Extensive Margin editing.
* Composited Programs list.
* Advanced Start menu panel.
* Aero Wizard.
* ReBar image for large buttons.
* Extended ReBar glass.
* Curve shell overlay.
* Custom notification balloons.
* Custom Search Home image.
* Jade styled group menus.
* Properly alpha channeled images.
* Aero specific More Programs label.



and more using his amazing program. All in all, when it releases for the general public, I highly recommend buying it.

Etc:
If you use this theme please report bugs in this order.

* DPI: (96dpi, 97dpi, 120dpi, Other (Specify))
* Architecture: (x86 | x64)
* Substyle: (Aero | Jade | Athens)

:iconkoslab:
I have replaced all the files but when I go to apply the theme I dont see longhorn M7 theme. I know it wont be named that but I only have 2 other themes and this third one is not showing up. I use vista sp1 x64 with default dpi.

yea i had to rename some of the stuff he missed, i renamed the visual style inside Longhorn M7 and then went into the shell folder and then en-US and renamed that file to Longhorn [link] and it applied correctly
:iconkoslab:
Ah nice, just did what you said and it worked perfectly. Thanks alot yo

And also Panda X, why doesn't this have that shellstyle animation to the right anymore?

Good Work
