Here is a VS I worked on for the past couple days to get it to beta
So I decide to release a beta today as it is the day that Windows 7 gets released and i wanted to give something on this day to people that just bought the OS.

Credits to the right people are on the Deviantart Page!!!!!!

Final is Here
Ok So after alot of work for the past week or two ( I can't remember how long been busy with the new kid on the way and the one that is already here)

Here is the Final release of ElegantBlack with alot of changes

*Fixed some images
*Make a ExplorerFrame.dll with different images for x86 and x64
*Fixed x86 Explorer.exe for the start orb
*There is two different themes and theme files. One for the top and one for the bottom taskbar (You can install them both at the same time as they are different msstyles and .theme files

Enjoy

Is this a port or an "inspired by" VS?

I know it's a beta but I noticed only three bugs.
I've marked them in this screenshot.

I hope you will fix them in the next version.

I made it have the White line so it isn't sooooo Black and so it goes with the rest of the theme as it is White and Black

@ pcHuntqwerty

Thanks for pointing out the errors I will get them fixed by the next release

I don't know if it's possible, as I haven't messed around with visual styles in 7, but I think the white line and Show Desktop button would look better if the Show Desktop button "curved" into the line. The curve would match the window borders, and look better than the 90 degree angle that's currently there.

I dont like how the show desktop button is just a white square, you should make it darker like the system tray in Official XP Themes.

Just a small update before I get some Sleep

I redid the Show Desktop ButtonPosted Image

And the mouse over it turns to a lighter color but not much of a lighter color it just lets you know that you are over it if you can understand what i mean
I will upload a new version tomorrow with some fixes

Still working on the frame for the explorer Window
