Longhorn Themes?

[StereoMadnessss]

I would love the addition of the 3683 - 4001 taskbar, (3683 color should also be included), and the slate taskbars to fit in as there is only the Longhorn Aero Theme and no other themes in Longhorn’s development.

Plex (3683 Coloring)

Plex (3706-4001) #

Plex (4015)

Slate

It would be fine if some can’t make it in but it would be nice to have them

It looks great!

Not sure if it count as longhorn, but I dumped Longhorn 5119 (Vista Beta 1) taskbar sprites a while ago and it may be useful as well:

I'll still keep this open unless community efforts are made to recreate all of these themes, however, including them in categories would be nice so they are all neat and organized. For a quick example: Classic (95/98, ME, Watercolor, (XP Classic?, Vista Classic?) (I am on the fence about the classic themes) Luna (Blue, Olive, Silver, Embedded, Royale Noir, Royale) Longhorn (Plex M3, Plex M4-M5, Slate, Jade, Longhorn Aero) Vista (Longhorn 5112, Vista Basic, Vista Aero)

I may have missed a few or mislabeled some but this is just a random idea I came up with to solve the theme organization problem

That's a great idea, though I think it'd be better to create a separate issue for this

Don't mind if I do!

Edit (Nov. 9, 2022 at 12:34 PM): Created new issue for this idea.

@1280px Unrelated to this, but what program allowed you to make this screenshot possible?

Looks like something you can do with AutoIt

I want the source file(s) for this, OK?

This is not my picture, I believe I found it somewhere in Yandex just to illustrate the issue

I'm not sure if you can get the exact source for the program used in that image. After doing some research I discovered the type of dialog used is called a TaskDialog from the WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) Framework. Written in .Net or C#.

As for progress in the taskbar, check out this written in autoit https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/111018-itaskbarlist-udf-rewrite-for-beta-all-methods-included/

Quick Question, how do I install custom themes? It does not seem to work for me :(

Yes I did put them in the same folder as my retrobar.exe

[dremin]

@zkerta They should go in a Themes folder, where the Themes folder is in the same folder as RetroBar.exe.

I found a Vista Beta open shell skin! https://www.deviantart.com/petertrifonov1999a1/art/Windows-Longhorn-5112-theme-port-for-Windows-7-865856271 http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4784 I have no idea on which one works better so I will test on a Windows 10 VM and will report my results on which one I think works better
