News Feb. 29: Now that I am done with ProjectX, I will take a break from theming. After that, I will redo this Visual Style. More than likely from scratch. Thanks for your patience!

:new: Mar. 23, '08
-Now has Gnome icon start button! (This is just to satisfy some people until I can have time to create a V.2.0 of this style) :)

Update Feb. 06, '08
- Compact Start Menu
- Thinner Taskbar
- Squared corners on Start Menu

After several weeks of researching and editing, I am extremely proud to present my work -- Gelawin VS.

This VS is fully skinned in both Aero and Basic for x86 systems.

I drew heavy inspiration for this theme from the Ubuntu theme, "Gelatin". (hence, Gelawin. Get it?) This isn't an exact copy as you can see I added more 'gloss' to the orange areas.

Of course, you will need patched system files to apply this style. For Pre-SP1 users, I recommend using VistaGlazz. For users w/ SP1, you will find plenty of articles through Google on how to do it.

The wallpaper is included w/ the VS though the generosity of ~zyklophon. You can visit his gallery and thank him here [link]

Hi!

Very nice work but it feels a bit too punchy and i would like to have more transparency or the possibility to change the color (there is a orange scheme in the personalized panel)

Keep on!

The way I have this VS setup, there is no transparency. It is the way I intended it. There are plenty of other visual styles here on deviant art that have transparency that you might like. Thank you for the suggestions!

Loved this in Ubuntu also in Vista. But I want to say:

1. Window borders should be colored.
2. Add some transparency.

Otherwise Great VS. +FAVed.
