Looking for a particular skin

from Stardock Forums
I saw this desktop listed under "Desktop X" and it is called "City lights" [img=http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9624/spacerbr0.gif]

I really like the start menu bar and all that jazz so I downloaded it, but when I installed it, it the current start menu thing stayed activated- which makes me think that the particular skin i am looking for is a WindowBlinds skin. If that is the case, coudl anybody pelase point me in the right direction? Much appreciated.

Well, I see that I cannot embed thumbnails into these forums. So here is the link I was trying to add:

This Skin's designer says it will work if you unload DX then run it again - don't know why, possibly a script error.

i have no problem adding pictures to forums, but i wanted to add a clickable-thumbnail so that the picture didn't have to load a 1280x1024 image each time somebody wanted to visit this thread. these forums do not support the coding for thumbs.

the desktopX desktop works just fine. but what i am looking for is the start menu bar. and it is not included in the package. i think the start menu bar is a WindowBlinds skin, and what that desktop screenshot shows is more than one application running. which is why i posted why question here, and not in the desktopX section.

does anybody know what start menu bar skin that is?

It's a skin by KOL that MIGHT still be available at Deviantart but I doubt it. MS objected to it and it was taken down here and I think there as well although many "MODS" have shown up since then. Look for one by Jemaho at DA.

As an option try Ares by Mike Bryant. WWW Link quite similar except the button.

You might also want to look at Novum (one of the many substyles) which has that Vista button too.

There are a ton of Vista lookalike skins floating around. I prefer AeroGlassv5 by ironjer, can be found on deviantart.

AeroGlassv5 by ironjer


Pretty sure that's one of the mods of Kol's original.

If anybody has it, are they able to just zip it and upload it using something like megaupload.com or rapidshare.com?

In the meantime, I am using that Ares skin. Thanks a lot, Lantec

Did Aeroglassv5 get removed as well? Because I can't find it. And running through the pages, sorted by name, shouldnt it be right around here:

So ya, did it get removed, or did I just miss it?
