Minimal Dark v2.1 [FINAL?] by SyDTRaKKeD

[sydtrakked]

MinimalDark v2.1 [FINAL]
------------------------------------------------------------------
v2.1 Changes:
- fixed system tray bug (blurry tray icons)
- fixed problem with some push buttons not working correctly
- bittorrent toolbar edited
- new caption buttons (close, min/max)... these I borrowed from Mr. Grim's Midnight Glass theme cuz I liked them so much
------------------------------------------------------------------
v2 Changes:
- modified taskbar and start menu
- some areas were made lighter for better legibility
------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my first theme (mostly) from scratch. As the title says its Minimal and its Dark.
If you have the Full Glass application I would recommend using it. I've included it in the download if you would like to try it.

I think I'm finally finished editing this one. Time to move on to my next possible theme.
I would still like it if anyone who uses it would leave some feedback or suggestions just in case there are any bugs or any fixes people would like to see. It would be greatly appreciated!

v2.1 Includes:
- Aero White Cursors
- Full Glass
- 11 wallpapers
- Fonts
- Mr. Grim's Midnight Glass shell32 replacement images

Many of the gloss/glassy elements were made using Mr. Grim's Black Touch taskbar image so I just thought I should give credit for that portion. Special thanks to him for all his help.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions and helped out here in the forums.

Other items used on my desktop (Credit goes to the respective creators):
Folder Icons
- Mr. Grim's Full Glass Blue icon pack installer

Rocket Dock
- Black Glass Skin
- Dock Icons are my own customization of the Token White icon set

Rainmeter (if anyone wants this set I've combined it into my own so just message me)
- customized HUD vision/Katana meter (originally from Meteor Glimps skin)
- customized shutdown tool (sorry i forget what skin it's originally from)
- Enigma Twitter and Gmail Reader
- customized MoxaWeather
- Desk Five Clock customized to use Speaking Clock by JSMorley
- customized torrent tracker

[Zeko403]

me again with a new problem...
why is this part of my windows white(marked with "?!")? it is white on my network and sharing center and on Persolanlize menu.
http://www.deviantpics.com/image-46B9_4BBB42B5.jpg (http://www.deviantpics.com/share-46B9_4BBB42B5.html)

Full glass.exe is running as an admin, transparency enabled...
I'm probably missing something

[sydtrakked]

you need to replace your shell32 images using restorator

[Zeko403]

Hey there.. I really want to install this theme.. but im kinda novice at these things.. especially when it comes to modifying system files... is there any link to a tutorial page which explains step by step how to go about installing this in its entirety? I have installed themes before, but the custom icons etc are new to me.

Also, a question about the theme.. I've installed a dark theme before and even word documents were dark.. which i think is a little impractical... so firstly, is a word document dark (and or glass) like the rest of the theme, and if so can it be changed to solid white just for Microsoft word?

Your advice will be very much appreciated :)

Dex.

What you need to do to install themes: http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27909-How-to-Apply-Custom-Themes-in-Windows-7
Install Icon Pack: http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/27464-Custom-Icons-with-install-Script-for-Windows-7
Replace Shell32 images: http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/28074-colors-in-the-control-panel (in Restorator-->bitmap you need to replace images 632, 633, 634 and 635)

As for the word documents... its just something you have to deal with in dark themes. You can change the color but it will change the background color of your windows as well. It actually doesn't really hurt anything to have the word documents dark since the text is grey or white... just something you get used to.

nice the theme thank you bro... bye.. :party2:

[merlinsteffen]

[exzibit23]

Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! It not working on me.. When i install the theme, it just change my themes to default.. BTW, my OS is Windows7 Ultimate x86.. :idk:

[sydtrakked]

im not sure... but i think this might be 64bit only... :sorry:

i think i saw somewhere that those of us creating themes on 64bit... can only produce 64bit themes... well... unless theres some special way to convert to 32bit... i think there is but im not sure how...

[imported_Kris340]

Really nice, i like this theme.

Only thing is when i right click in Firefox the menu is kinda messed up, it's stretched out and not aligned with the border. I like it but i use firefox and it's kind of annoying, can you fix it plz?
