Looks pretty decent from the screen shot. Why not just make an msstyle instead of making folks tinker with their explorer.exe?

I really like the clean simplicity of this style but might never get the chance to use it. I'm not all that savy when it comes to messing with critical system files, and I'm just not grasping the installation mojo.

@dustkt: :D ahhh, okay it's stefanka's InspiratSE (stefanka.deviantart.com)

@jw62: its not a "critical" system file, when the replacement not work, you have just no shellstyle ;)
and when you use it in a vs, you dont have to replace any system files

Surely it can't be too difficult to bundle it into a .msstyles file. I prefer having them because I switch my themes a lot, and it's just extra work to change stuff back around.

He's specified he'll allow ports and mods, so why doesn't someone just turn his work into a .msstyles file? I'd do it if I knew how.

okay one more time ;)

if you want to use this shellstyle in a Visual Style (msstyle) just copy the "shellstyle.dll" FROM the Visual Style folder IN this package TO the the folder "Shell \ NormalColor (or every substyle)" from your Visual Style

No systemhacks, no mods etc :D cya

I understand your agitation. If I now understand what you are saying, I put your shellstyle in my Zune Final/Shell/NormalColor folder. It doesn't work. All I get are still the normal Zune variations.

I cannot get the window border to look like the preview. As far as I got, I got the styler toolbar, the common tasks showing on the right. but I cannot get the window title bar (including the minimise, maximise & close buttons) to match the preview.

As suggested, I'm using the InspiratSE Visual Style by Stefanka. I know I'm still missing something. Can some one please point me in the right direction?
