Raikiri, any chance of a link to that wallpaper? Looks very cool.

Raikiri · 6 Oct 2007 at 09:42

Here you go, I think I have the original (1280x1024) as well if you need it.

MrScott · 6 Oct 2007 at 09:44

Excellent

, if you don't mind the 1280x1024 one would be helpful, I don't have a WS monitor so it saves me 'chopping the widescreen one.

Ive got transparency turned on.

Didnt know it was an add-on, thought you could do it actually in vista.

Pretty safe installing these type off add-on's to vista?

Its not an addon, it's a visual style!

you download, unzip, double click the msstyles file and apply it as you would any visual style in vista/xp.

if you put the Panorama folder in to the following DIR:

You can simply manage the styles by going into either folder and clicking the msstyles file for the theme you want.

The stock Vista one is in the folder called Aero btw.

In the appearances window before applying the theme all Aero themes are labelled as "Windows Aero" so if you have several Aero visual styles you will have several "Windows Aero" entries which is normal.

Sorry you have lost me abit, so you mean install 'vistaglazzsetup.exe to that above folder in windows?

mrk · 6 Oct 2007 at 11:01

Ah I forgot about Vista Glazz - Glazz makes the titlebars and taskbar etc more transparent, it's a simple patch to the Vista theme engine.

The theme istelf is what you unzip to the above folder.

KK, best just to follow the instructions from the original link - http://butch123.deviantart.com/art/Panorama-61837671
