Hello VC. I did an Armoured theme that uses white and red instead of the original rust color.
I recolored, changed fonts and only adjusted a few small images but the theme's overall design remains intact and still badass as always. All Thanks and credits go to gor17981 (thanks for the blueprints) & Harvey Sewdin for their efforts in making the Theme.
And many thanks as well to Dark Knight for porting the theme for Windows 10.

This is the first time i've used Windows style builder on a windows 10 theme so please let me know of any errors or if i missed anything. Thank you guys I hope you like it.

i have an issue with the theme. When "show accent color" is turned on for the startmenu & taskbar (under the personalize/color settings) this happens to one of the taskbar thumbnail previews. Its always just one of the previews and it happens only sometimes. Does anyone know how to fix this by any chance?

And also is it happening to anyone else or just me? lol

i have tried replacing the image with one that has no transparency but it still happens. Thats all i've tried so far. It works fine when the startmenu/taskbar accent color setting is unchecked.

Hmmm, what version of Windows are you running? I am running 1803 17134.319 and I am not seeing the issue and I have taskbar transparency turned on.

sorry my mistake. i meant the accent color setting for the taskbar, startmenu and action center. Not the transparency switch but the one below it. And until just now i actually thought that was a transparency setting lol

I'm on a win10 1709.

i just realized... why do i even have that checked when im using 3rd party themes anyway. :shocked: its not like i'll see the accent color on the taskbar or startmenu.

Nevermind. Issue has been solved lol. I appreciate your response though DK. Thanks for trying to help.

You ACTUALLY made this theme look WAY better than the original. Because that orangey yellow and black version is dull and lifeless. Thanks so much this.

Thank you for the compliment friend but i gotta disagree with you on the dull and lifeless part. First time i saw the armoured theme i was blown away by the detail on the frames, and well its armor so the yellow gave it a rusty look. I loved it, i still do. Its always nice to have a different colored version though so we could switch it up every now and then. Thanks again bud and im glad you like it and you're very welcome.
