Superb Theme you've made Vishal G. & very small in size too (for downloading).

But i have only one problem, for which you've already given a remedy-- its the text/icon cut-off in start menu.

Isnt there any other way to solve this, because when i turn ON "Large Icons", My desktop becomes kinda TINY (with those large Icons).

take a look your self

By the way Thanks Again for Your Visual Theme Mr. Vista.
Your theme really livens up my Desktop with this Lamborghini Gallardo

Actually I created that VS for x48 icon size coz in VISTA Desktop Icons are shown in BIG size by default and I kinda liked them :)

May be I'll create another version for small icons in future ;)

thnx for ur appreciations :D

thnx guys for ur comments :)

@mAV3

All such packs just install a visual style in %windir%\Resources\Themes folder along with other stuffs, so u can safely copy my VS to that folder and apply it. All other changes will remain unchanged and u can use my VS ;)

And regarding to the status bar for drives, actually I got that utility many months before from a site (can't remember the name :confused: ), but for u I hv uploaded the file here. So just d/l the file, extract it and then run the EXE file and voilla, u can see the status bar :D Actually this utility contains some icons and it detects the size of the drive and then sets appropriate icon for it in the registry! :)

OK!

I think u guys will like it: :D

thanx vishal .... and wat my question was reffering to was that vista inspirant allows me to hav the common tasks on top and also hav the vista styled icon bar on the top of the screen (like u hv in ur screen shot) ..... will all that remain same and only the icons and colors will change and the common tasks will be displayed as they are and the vista styled icon bar will remain as it is???

and yeah the status bar rox .... thanx ..... however ... i found that there is a bug ..... when u browse for selection and u get a dropdown menu the icons are not displayed

here's a screenshot ....

Ur dock will remain unchanged but Common tasks will be changed to left!

But if u want to show them at Top as they r showing currently in the vista inspirant pack, then just copy the Shellstyle.dll file, which u'll find in "Shell folder of ur current theme and paste it in my VistaVG's Shell -> NormalColor folder!

Regarding to ur mentioned BUG, its not a BUG in theme, actually the theme has nothing to do with those icons :) And its working perfectly here in my comp ;)

I think u hv to reset Icon Cache and they will be there again :)

@thewisecrab, you should read the "NOTE" in the download site.
you have to change the icon size.

& if you dont prefer large icons, then download the "Version 2" from the same site. the link's under "Update"
