Artist's Note

Pristine OS 1.1

WAIT! before you dismiss this theme as one of those innumerable vista clones being released everyday, I ask you
to download and apply Pristine OS. I am sure you'll find it somewhat 'different'. In one word it's 'my' version of
windows vista (theme) :)

Part of inspiration came from Royale Vista http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25495627/ by dobee.


-------------------------
Notes:

1) You can switch between calibri and segoe ui via font size menu

2) Download fonts from here http://rapidshare.de/files/28007664/Fonts.rar.html if you don't already have them installed.

3) Enable 'clear type' font setting for best results.

------------------------
Included are two versions with two different starrt panels.

New ideas and suggestions are most welcome.

Welcome to my website http://www.gfxcanvas.com/home

Enjoy!

I like this a lot. The titlebars are not all bloated like many of the skins I have seen of this style. Great work.

I really like this - but there could be a few tweeks. Like a really compact startbar. Like, just icons for the system icons to really slim it down. Also the outline around the windows on the task bar are kind annoying... other than those, Bravo!

Taskbar could be thinner... But it's very nice!

Really nice, looks a butt-load better than most skins that try to pull of this look.

I say the same as the others, would be nice with a compact start menu. But this is really good.

Actually the first vista clone I've ever tried. Seen loads of them, but never felt like trying it untill I saw this one! I like the overall look of it, but as allready mentioned... a slimmer version would be great!

Great work very nice vista-alike visual style, i like the thin bar feeling a lot, also you did a GREAT JOB with the start button !!!! i have grow tired of vista look alikes that only use half of the circle in the window logo in the start button it looks bizarre when you are used 2 have rows in your taskbar

Moshin, you've came a long way man, you literally shit out themes (that means a good thing.) This is probably your best one, since all your themes progressively get better, this is like your best.

Great work.

Not a bad VS, but upon further inspection, it's _still_ another Vista close ;)

Very nice, my favorite Vista clone. However, i don't see how the font size window changes fonts (it only changes the size of whatever font this is), and the wallpaper really adds something (the default light blue desktop works against the dark theme, imo).
