Windows 7-like theme in ReactOS

Post by Rosh »

Following discussion in viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17114

Windows 7-like theme inspired it is needed, "lautus" theme seems oldfashioned.
We could name it 'crystal lautus' or something like it.

Or at least replace lautus startbutton with a new one inspired in Windows 7 theme.
(Full coloured ReactOS logo inside a globe).
And in a future (when all necesary functions be implemented) with transparency enabled.

How was lautus theme made?
From scratch or using a program?

Just download existing Windows 7-like themes for Windows XP from the Internet.

Yes. Sorry for spamming. :oops:

I just want to do a new theme, but the information that give in the forum and what I have search is limited.
That`s why I asked if someone knows how was 'Lautus' theme made?

To implement aero style on ReactOS is necesary at least DWM fully implemented, right?
What are the status of this and other components to make an aero msstyle full functional in ReactOS?

Yes it requires DWM and it works through WDDM, as well, so both are required in order to have proper Aero support. These are all Vista+ features, too, so it is not a priority.

Unless you are planning to do all this yourself or provide proper funding so the ReactOS team can hire someone to do this, don't expect anyone to do this. This is basically re-writing the GUI and the display model of Windows.
