Looks really great and very close to the Original!

Everything in the Theme or 3rd party apps involved (especially for the startmenu)?

I'm curious to test..

You know where you showed the old shell that little space above the command bar was a bug due to a custom stream not being sized right. It was the one Bryant (from AeroXP) made from 50xx's Aero. It wasn't meant to look like that.

Ok,
The right side of startmenu is impossible to increase?

I meant for you first screen shot. The second one just edit that in Samurize.

The default stream didn't do that. Just the custom one.

great Progress!!!! i'm really impressed!!

the placeslistpane is to increase, you have to size the log-off panesize and the placeslist-pane (which is placed above the log-off pane) in x-size.
(search for Aero and basic parts, sometimes it's only in one of them, i've no VSB here atm, so i can't describe it exactly)

for the folderband you can make it bigger by the padding value in shellstyle.txt (in my 4074 shell it's made smaller than standard by using values -3 on the y-axis),
so the image isn't displayed completely)

and i like the Aero "bug" above the command bar, even it was a bug in original, it gives the theme a "authentic look"  Wink

The only authenticity would be if the theme looked like:

I fixed the problem in shellstyle, tank you.
I found a way to increase the distance between the fakeicons in PlaceList, increasing the height of blank.png separator, and  i can only use 3 icons, PlaceList horizontal size seems impossible ...

okay okay, don't judge too hard Wink
i think it's a welcome interpretation.

i like it because it comes near to the 4074 style http://fishy-fish.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Longhorn-4074-Desktop-89321931 or LH reloaded style http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/longhorn-reloaded.jpg

so let's see how the finished theme will be..

got it!! Thanks for letting me test it.
it looks great, i only found some minor pixel bugs in active DWM (Top (Right part) and Bottom / check small wmpplayer Wink)

the startmenu with the longhorn-flag is awesome, too bad you made the programslist and the right part of the taskbar with samurize for the sidebar  (i'm not a friend of 3rd-party UI tweaks and tested it only without samurize)
but only with msstyles it won't be able, so it's okay

Also the Shellstyle, especially the folderband, is great. Multicolor would be awesome Wink

Unfortunately i've lost your email-adress, because you've got me right at HDD partition moving for preparation to switch to 7, which will be delivered next days...
(which costed me some nerves changing the boot-options and the c:-drive letter on another drive, but now it works)

you can send me the final theme when finished, and i will make a further test, if you want..

Hi Carlos,
I have just tested your Longhorn theme and it looks fantastic. I love the PDC Startmenu. His idea of icons on right is very creative.

New update:
Shellstyle fixed, Startmenu fixed, caption buttons pdc fixed, caption buttons air bugged, startmenu air bugged...
I used resources of Longhorn Firedance and M7 and PAP3RCLIPS concepts, the userpic is static, for the text of programlist I used blank icons and center using alt +255.
