The Crest Suite: Windowblinds Vista (c) 2008

- each substyle shown here also in an uncolored version

- though I´m not really a fan of glossy themes I made glossy substyles (classic) for this one and I really like how they turned out...

important: please use s m a l l icons in startpanel!

- left side (navigation pane) of explorer will be fixed as soon as Stardock implements skinning of these parts, too.. anyway, for a good look of explorer see hints below...

Thanks a lot to =barberioX and *pjdark for testing!

other parts of the suite:

- rainmeter clock/date: [link]
- xion: [link]
- wallpapers: [link]
- startpage: [link]

:new: CAD skin from =eos8 [link]

____________________________________________________

for a good look of explorer:

- deactivate the navigation pane in organize/layout
- start explorer with parameters and from a folder of your choice (e.g. with a shortcut or a dock entry: C:\Windows\explorer.exe /s, C:\Users\You\FolderOfChoice)
- or much easier, with a shell command: e.g. C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:desktop . google for a complete list of shell commands
- for people who are familiar with system hacks: autohide command bar (folderband) by reshacking the Shellstyle.dll in the folder C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero\Shell\NormalColor as described here [link] and here [link]


do it you´ll love it...

Outstanding ideas. Love the taskbar, and the buttons are coolies. However, my start menu looks all screwy, the icons are all half off the menu to the left hand side.

looks ok,

I think you should switch the modern/classic titles around. Modern is usually associated with glossy, polished styles while class is more flat and retro. Just a thought ;)

Brilliant work Leuchtstoff - love the modern version... :)
