My first Visual Style for Windows Vista


Actually, I just needed a vs for my topshellstyle and this is
what came out at the end...


changes in the glass
taskbar
new orb
new scrollbars / progressbar
changed buttons
topshellstyle
... and more


I also removed the textglow in the upper window frame, so readability in the inactive windows is sometimes a bit lost, but I never really liked the textglow... ;)



You need a patched uxtheme.dll file or use VistaGlazz: [link]
& I highly recommend the browseui.dll mod by Miretank for his back/forward buttons: [link]


A patched Shell32.dll for the topshellstyle is included



Comments/critics/suggestions welcome



Thanks to sonicexcess & Vathanx for the continued support and answering many questions.... :)



Hope you like it

:)

Huh, I used this wallpaper more than 2 years ago... I might had it from Interfacelift.com, but I'm not sure

What do you mean? The visual style?
You need to have AERO enabled.

I've been through almost every single vista theme on here and I always come back to this one. The start orb is perfect and the silver border highlights on the start menu really put it over as well. I love the look of the shell as well. This is the best blueish theme on here- I don't think I'd be alone in saying that.

Thanks a lot, Mitch

I'm very happy to hear that you like VistaBreeze. Even more, because it was my first visual style ever and I tried to make it not only good-looking, I wanted to keep usability as well.

Again, thanks for the nice words :)

is there any way that you can help me to make vistabreeze work on my computer. I've gotten the theme applied, but it won't show. I've gotten the topshell and the start button, but the windows look like the ones from "basic style", even though I keep applying the theme.

Unfortunately, this sounds like you really have the basic style displayed there...

Please make sure, you choose AERO when you apply the theme. Sometimes it can also be better to restart the pc, esp. when you change the shell32.dll as well.

Hope, this worked :)
