b0se Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Hi, Opus Visual Style Permissions - Binary: Permission to include his great OSX4XP cursor set. About - 4 Variations: Blue Windows, Blue OSX, Grey OSX and Metal OSX - Each variation has both Tahoma (Windows) and Lucide Grande (OSX) font versions - 3 Wallpapers - OSX4XP Cursor set Install recommendations - Extract zip contents to '\Windows\Resources\Themes', using folder names. - Make sure you select the desired theme via Display Properties -> Themes. This will automatically load cursor set. - Use Classic view for explorer windows - no shellstyle (Tools -> Folder Options -> [Check] Use Windows Classic folders) - Install fonts (drag them from '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Opus\fonts' into your '\Windows\Fonts' directory) - Use Mac-like font smoothing (much nicer on the eye) (Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use the following....screen fonts -> [Combo] ClearType) - Use large icons (Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use Large Icons) Screenshot (click to enlarge) Download @ DeviantART Comments welcome!

michaelra Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Amazing work! Always love your creation, bose Link to comment
Sparkle Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Excellent theme! I've been waiting for this one for a while.I do have one little problem though... the text in my taskbar seems completely different than what you have in the screenshot(s).Mine is much larger in font size and less refined (i.e. much uglier). I've tried both the Tahoma and Lucida Grande versions to no avail. Link to comment
alang Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Also will there be a WB4 version?Yeah...it would be nice if someone ported to WB4.... Link to comment
priest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 just downloaded it. will take a closer look soon, but the metal style really interests me, since i'm a big fan of metal themes in general. it looks quite sleek and elegant.thanx b0se. Link to comment

b0se Posted September 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Thanks Radish is working on a Shellstyle atm, in the next release (final) they'll be included with some more wallpapers and Yz Dock skins (and hopefully the High Contrast Yz toolbar skin if Honz grants inclusion) permission...

rjohnstone Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 For those of you who may have issues when loading the VS...Here are some things I found.This line...[VisualStyles]Path=%WinDir%resources\Themes\Test.msstylesShould look like this...[VisualStyles]Path=%WinDir%resources\Themes\Opus\Opus.msstylesLooks like b0se left his test info in the theme files.Could happen to anyone...He also has the following lines in there as well...; My Computer[CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=D:\Program Files\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes\RossSnowE\SnowE.icl,1; My Documents[CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=D:\Program Files\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes\RossSnowE\SnowE.icl,0; My Network Places[CLSID\{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=D:\Program Files\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes\RossSnowE\SnowE.icl,2; Recycle Bin[CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon]full=D:\Program Files\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes\RossSnowE\SnowE.icl,5empty=D:\Program Files\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes\RossSnowE\SnowE.icl,4Which won't work unless you have the IconPackager theme installed in the exact same directory.If you don't have the IconPackager theme installed... just replace the entries with this:; My Computer[CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll,15; My Documents[CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll,126; My Network Places[CLSID\{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll,46; Recycle Bin[CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon]full=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll,32empty=%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll,31 BTW... I love this theme... Using it now.Still hanging on to Puma though, I've kinda grown attached to it. :own: Link to comment

ManInBlack Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 rjohnstone: Thanks for making this tutorial on how to repair the missing entries! Still I think Opus should correct those entries and then again put his VS for download as a lot of people get this error. Link to comment
