MyVistaUpdated Oct 10, 2006 by NiightDragonGJ
This is my current desktop. It uses Litestep for the actual desk and WB5 for the theme.
The Vista/Litestep is based on the Vista retro project located on AeroXperience. The WB skin is Aero Vista by eXign. as seen, I have worked a browser into the start panel as well as a working command and search bar :). The start panel also goes back to the normal start panel when you click the back button. The UserIcon dynamically changes depending on the menu item chosen. There's also a mini WMP11 that … read more |

But yes, I was sick of Vista when I started as a beta tester from the first Longhorn

I will be releasing the theme soon. I'm currently working on adding a search feature in the start panel for files. Right now it's just geared towards searching various Web engines and so on.
The wmp11 clone I added here is an attempt to add support for more players aside from wmp11, winamp, itunes, foobar.. etc.. And I never liked the way Wmp11's toolbar player never really matched the toolbar.
I'm also working on a skinning engine for the theme. So it doesn't always have to look like Vista


I'll keep folks up to date on the theme's release, though.

What's LiteStep?
Btw all Windows Media Players can be minimised to the taskbar, just right click it > toolbars > windows media player. I am using WMP10 atm in toolbar form

If you could e-mail me: Geon106@Hotmail.co.uk when the themes ready i'll be very grateful. Thanks

I got couple of questions actually...
I'm not awefully familiar with Litestep, I'm guessing you used it to modify the (file) browser so it displays the view options and tasks differently, what about the start menu, is that also mostly Litestep based (search bar, changing icon) or is that a DesktopX theme/object?
Also, I keep seeing that minimized WMP11 and for the life of me I can't figure it out, is that some mini-mode of WMP11 that I've missed or is that another litestep or desktopx thing (I know you can do this with desktopx if the whole startbar is based on it but this isn't it, is it)?
