Windows 7 for TT with blur

By
Published:

Description

This skin is for True Transparency 1.3 or later (Get True Transparency here: [link]).

Features:
- Sky colour scheme (Windows 7's default colour)
- Blur and reflection on the top window border (as seen in Windows 7), for normal windows and maximised windows

To install, extract the ZIP file into True Transparency's skin directory, e.g. "C:\Program Files\True Transparency\skin".
Launch True Transparency and enjoy !

Other things featured in the preview:
- Styler toolbar: Windows 7 Styler Toolbar (Windows 7 Aero) by chrizlu [link]
- Favorite Links: FindeXer win7 kit by fediaFedia, as part of Aero Ultimate 7 6801 Beta [link]
- Visual style: SevenVG RTM Theme for XP by Vishal-Gupta [link]
- Shellstyle: 7 Shellstyle Task-Panel by TeChNo-tRaNCeR [link]

Notes:
- In my opinion, the best/clearest title bar text can be achieved by removing the glow effect altogether (unlike in the preview). To do that, simply edit skin.ini in the Normal and Maximized folders, and comment out (or remove) the line starting with GlowColor, e.g. change it to #GlowColor etc.
- Some resources are from Aero Ultimate for True Transparency [link] See link for detailed credits.
- For users of True Transparency 1.3, I recommend upgrading to version 1.4: it's a lot more stable and has Winroll plus fade-in/fade-out for caption buttons.
