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)

I used the iwinux one. It's a nice theme.

The only problem i found is about window and taskbar transparency when current window is maximized. In the original aero theme you can correct that using VistaGlazz, but couldn't fix that by myself in this theme.

Appart of that, this theme is awesome, good work and thank you.

At last! ^ ^

VistaGlazz overwrites the Aero theme with their own with the Max Glass one. I agree with MS on this one. What's the point of maximizing? To get rid of all distraction. Why would you be looking at the glass when you're maximizing to get rid of all distraction?

An error has occurred. The radio buttons bit me in the ass again. Taking download down for now.
