Wow, that's a new idea!
*Wishing the buttons would actually work*

thanks , i wanted to make a vista explorer emulation but i decided to finish basic features first

Really good idea indeed + changing the current logo/name (BS) and adding new option to hide systray icon would be good too as people said b4 hehe Also the blurred borders become disappeared when enabling Topdesk (just like WB though)

And Can Any Moderator Change The Title to "Border Skin - Aero Glass On XP"?

Bro you can just PM any of them (or directly Jatin either) for that

thanks, i will look in this Topdesk problem,yes but i didn't know to whom (which moderator) i pm to

Good I noticed in the previous screenshot there was a jagged edge on the left of the explorer window, fedia's sking appears to fix the porblem though

in the the first screenshot, i only ported the top border until i get the permission from
fediaFedia but the new one i ported all the skin (top,left,right,bottom), but still working to
for the fake reflection issue ( because there's already a real reflection so you will see two reflections )

hi all
Developing is now active again (i finally took my vacation yesterday, working on it from since)

okay folks , i need your help
since i am going to change the name of the program I have been thinking about some names but i can't get some thing catchy , current my option is WindowSkin (i wish that i could use WinSkin instead but there's winskin.com) ,PurplePeopleEater suggested to me before ExplorerSkin but it is taken
SO PLEASE ANYONE THAT HAVE ANY NAME PLEASE POST IT BECAUSE I AM REALLY OUT OF IDEAS

[AMIRZ]

How about Blur Border (BB/B2) still sounds better than BS anyway lol, sorry just a suggestion

Btw if i were you, then i would rename it Metallica Skin (MS)

[fediaFedia]

GlassXP

(MS -> MicroSoft)

GlassXP

Very Nice Names but the thing is i am planning for features like FileAnimation Change and i just don't want the program to be only about glass any way i like GlassXP more but BB still a nice suggestion


edit : sorry , foucsed on the abbreviation and didn't see "Metallica Skin"
but i just keep thinking of it like a skin name but it is a very nice suggestion

Since i don't want to spend a week trying to find a name for the application rather than release it, here's what has been suggested :
Metallica Skin (MS) , Fraero (free aero) , Quiro (quick aero) , Aevo , GlassXP , Metallica Skin (MS) , Glass XP
Aero XP , XP-skin , Apptastic , PeanutSkin , TPWD (The Perfect Window Manger) , TUWD (The Ultimate Window Manger) , Diamond-XP , Glowy , GLOW (Glass Light On Windows) , WinBlur , WinDecorations , WinDecor , WinDecorSkin , SkinDecorations , SkinDecor , SkinFrame , WindowSkin , WinGBK (Windows Glass Blur) , WinBlurSkin , BlurSkin , WinBlurXP , BlurXP , Kskinner(Komalo skinner) , SkinWinnerK (komalo winner skin)
i came up with WinComposite and WinCrystal

And to tell you the truth, i am a little on "WinCrystal" side , so i am thinking about it as the name, if any one saw one of the other names will be more suitable
please suggest it now

[SharmanNet]

WinCrystal and WinDecor seem good.

[coldemone]

Something not related to blur or border or windows, like how sami named her app nimi,

or use words like Frames, Fog, Mist, Frost, Focus or Bounds.
I don't like programs with win in it and any simple descriptive names.

So something like CrystalFrost ?

[mahidi]

you talk about 0.3 version, but its ready? is a wip? because crystal xp has 0.1 and deviantart has 0.2.

[coldemone]

Misty Frames, Frame-up?

[komalo]

Misty Frames, Frame-up?

very nice, i actually delayed the name change and now focusing on the developing
as i am hoping that i can release the 0.3 soon

you talk about 0.3 version, but its ready? is a wip? because crystal xp has 0.1 and deviantart has 0.2.

what do you mean crystalxp has 0.1 ?
CrystalXP and deviantArt has 0.2 version, About for 0.3 the delay because of the new
feature to be able to place the title and buttons on any border (top,left,right,bottom)
as i am having some problem with the skin structure and the implementation

[komalo]

Version 0.2.1 Release, Check Main Post

[PurplePeopleEater]

I love how your prgram is coming along Komalo, it's the first app I install on xp after Firefox

[Syzygy]

Wow! Very nice progress, now you'll just have to find a way to hide the ugly default toolbars in explorer, and move the min/max/close buttons a little more to the right
