This is such a cool theme, one of my favs! I've been searching all of Deviantart to find a theme that suits my background (sad, yes)...and this one is perfect!
nice job

Appreciate the kind words
One day I`ll port this to Windows 7 and improve upon it some more.
Thanks again, nice to know my visual styles are still being used.

You're welcome.

Well look forward to me releasing new visual styles in the near future. I`ll have Windows 7/Vista style builder soon.

I'm having problems making this theme look its best. If it matters, I'm using Vista Home Basic. Here are the changes with whta I downloaded:
1. The start menu doesn't use transparency at all. Instead it's a kind of silvery color where yours is see-through. The icons are also larger on mine.
2. The taskbar dividers (between the start button and the open applications) are slightly different, and can be slightly irritating, but only if you really stare at it.
3. The top part of open windows and the taskbar arent transapent unless the current window is FULLY maximized. Otherwise, the task bar is a silvery color and the top of the windows is the color set in the Windows Color and Appearence settings.

That would be why it doesn`t look how it does in my screenshot. Because at the time I was running Vista Ultimate.
You should try upgrading to a better version of Vista, that might solve your problem there, unless someone else here knows of a workaround to get custom VS` working on Home Basic.

i`m happy a lot of people are still even downloading this VS.

I can't download it on my computer... Norton blocks it.'-_-
π: 0 β©: 1
That`s strange.
I know there are no viruses in this file, no one else has reported it, and I virus scan everything before uploading.
Sounds like your Norton AV is overprotective

=[ i can't download other skins too i think it's the same problem?
π: 0 β©: 1
It is.
Yeah, Home Basic is about useless when it comes to using skins/themes/VS`s...
Sorry.

can you use mybe the windows 7 orb? i think it would look real good. Also, i think that the taskbar, the silver, could have a bit higher resoultion. very nice though! i like it!

When I get a new PC setup with bigger hdd`s and all that I`ll dual boot Vista and 7.
Unfortunately at the moment, unless I find a way, I can`t create anything for Win Vista, because I`m running the Windows 7 beta right now.
I`m trying to find a way to port M11 to Windows 7 though, no success yet...
But I`ll definitely take note of your suggestions, and do my best to get to work on it as soon as I possibly can.

Hey, you should test this with windows 7 using the smaller taskbar. They already have UXTheme.dll patches for 7000 and 7022.
π: 0 β©: 1
That`s a great idea
Think I`ll look around for a new tutorial or something.

Hi there, I'm been using Vista Ultimate and updated to SP1 now.
How can i install your Project M11? cause i cant understand what u stated at the text file.
xD
I'm poor in english.
π: 0 β©: 0
It may.
There might be a 3rd party app available that will enable you to use Aero on Home Premium.
I don`t exactly know what it`s called, you may have to Google it.
Hope that helps you some.
π: 0 β©: 0
O.o... If i use Vista Home Premium good? and does this Project M11 works with it?
π: 0 β©: 1
No M11 won`t work with Vista Home Premium.
It doesn`t have "Aero" enabled. So the theme wouldn`t look right at all.
You would have to buy or use Vista Ultimate, or possibly Business Edition to have Aero enabled. Plus you also need a good video card to have Aero as well...
There is also a third part application you could download I`m sure, that will let you use Aero on Home Premium, but I can`t be too sure about that. You might have to do some Google research.

dude, i'm using Vista Ultimate but i dunno how to install ur Project M11.
I like ur theme, cause cool.
PS: also cant understand while reading ur guide.txt
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry you didn`t understand the guide...
Ok first you need VistaGlazz to patch your uxtheme files in order to use my theme or anyone else`s, you can grab it here: [link]
After downloading that program, install it and then run it. For a guide on what to do next, go here: [link]
If all of that worked and your uxtheme files are patched, just extract my theme to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\
That`s it. Everything should work now.

Hi there... This theme is for window vista only?
π: 0 β©: 2
Well, iit's a Vista theme. It's obviousy for Vista.
No offence, but read the whole page, not little excerpts.

"There are some errors occurred when backing up theme.Acces to the path
'C:\Windows\system32\..\Resources\Themes\Aero.bak.vistamaker\' is denied"
WTF is that!?!? It is the same all over again, and again.. Any help?
π: 0 β©: 1
It`s actually "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes".
I have no clue what that file extension is either, haven`t seen it before.
Looking back on it now, I do believe that most folders in "System32" are protected by Vista...could be wrong. Of course I don`t really know. I only mod .dll files in there anyway.
Yeah sorry for rambling

Appreciate the comment.
Judging by the number of downloads on this one, I believe its probably the best work I`ve done period. Glad that everyone likes it, here`s hoping the final version will top this one.

That toolbar is ObjectDock. You can find it by running a search on Google for "StarDock" or "ObjectDock" they have an awesome free trial you can download. I highly recommend it.
Or you could try RocketDock out.
Hope I was helpful

Really? For me that`s kind of a rare thing to hear. Not many people like 36 CF. Drives me crazy too, because they really are a talented band.
I love playing their songs on my guitar...
π: 0 β©: 0
Amazing!
Especially the design of the Mediaplayer ! Is that includet ?? Hehe 36Crazyfists love this band !
Greetings. Alex

That media player is foobar2k.
The skin for it is somewhere here at Deviant ART but I don`t remember where. Just check the foobar2k skins section of this site and you should find it on one of the older pages. Hope that`s helpful.
And yeah, 36 Crazyfists are amazing. My all-time favorite band.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ok. I'll try to find it ^^. ThÀÀnks!
Yeeh, 36 Crazyfists are amazing! But As I Lay Dying is also kickass!
I want to see a Concert from them. But I think they don't come to Switzerland ^^.
But I go to the Greenfield Openair in two weeks. With linkinpark, beatstakes, apocalyptica, In Flames, Bullet For my valentine and much other bands.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, sounds like an awesome concert. Wish I could go
And yeah I agree with you again, As I Lay Dying are pretty kickass as well. Hmm...think I`ll go listen to them now.
π: 0 β©: 1

Hmm. A question. I have downloadet Vista Glazz but now, if I use your m11 File Vista looks horrible... Like Windows98 or so... May you know what the problem is ?.
