Reply to Windows Vista user interface guidelines in Aero JoeUser Forums

I'm really happy that MS tries to be more consistent and asks developers too but i think it's not enough. I would describe only two inconsistent areas now: - I like the Vista look and i think it's much prettier than the boring Aqua theme of OS X but again: it's not consistent. Translucent windows (or windowframes) can't be consistent because they are disturbing even if they have this genious blur effect. No offense: they look awesome but i hop

Reply to 10 Features Longhorn needs in Windows Vista JoeUser Forums

I really like this feature-list idea. I wanted to make a website dedicated to wishlists about Longhorn but i became a nihilist after i realized it's impossible to make LH developers listen to our ideas. They have more important things to do. Brad, i hope you read comments. Some of my favourite features would be: - Full customization of the UI Some ppl says Windows is the easiest OS to use, others say Windows is for power users.

"Level 1: Classic Windows. This is the same as Classic mode in Windows XP." Will it be rendered by directx as well? Will it be vectorized?

Reply to WindowBlinds 4.4 released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Maybe i'm impolite but i think we could discuss this semi-transparency thingy in depth Is it true that it'll require Avalon? Or is there a trick to make it work with GDI? Is it true it'll be included in version 5 of WindowBlinds? Or an earlier version? Is it only a plan? / Have you already started working on it?

I'm afraid I misunderstood. It's not about per-pixel transparency to get windows look like this for instance: http://tinyurl.com/3m3db (it's a skin for the AveIconBook software made by StefanKa using 32bit PNGs). Would it be possible to apply this kind of skin for ALL windows with WB? Or it's only about the ability for WB to set the skin semi-transparent?

Frogboy: and here's another vote. But please don't write "if there's demand"! It must be made! There are a lot of ppl wants it (maybe some of them don't know they want it but i'm sure they need it).
