I just thought this deserves its own thread, as it is simply awesome

i might be being stupid but what has the person actually done? looks like normal windows 7 to me

It's really subtle, there's a few changes mostly to do with the shading but if you look at the minimize, maximize and close buttons in the top right hand corner you'll notice the difference for sure

Might want to change your link to the most recent version

i prefer the old version. it keeps the nice blue for selected items in explorer and other applications. the new version is grey everywhere.

We all had to start at some point

That was with the multiple tea/restart breaks

What version you on mate?

 

[Begbie]

I use this, in the your desktop thread. Looks better imo.

Yeah I know! Been meaning to install it for a while.

What version do you prefer?

Win7-Shine is a worthy update to Blend too.

You can install all of them at once can't you then switch between each one?

Dropping the Border Padding to 0 makes it look even better

Just put them in the resources folder then select them from the personalisation window to choose which one to use. No different to applying visual styles to Vista.

 

[Jimmy1983]

Yeah thought as much, never used them until now. Win7-Shine your fav?

 

[mrk]

Nope. Blend.

has it been fixed for x64? i tried it awhile ago and it's borked for active superbar apps.

 

[mrk]

Seemed fine to me.

Yeah its still buggy for 64 bit. I noticed some colour errors/artifacts.
