AeroTime Final
Released June 25, 2009, 2:15 PM ET

This is the final version of AeroTime!

The time has finally come for me to move on to Aero Xtreme 7. The clear Start Menu that was intended for AeroTime SE4 turned out to be a Windows 7 Style start menu which prompted me to halt all development of AeroTime and concentrate my efforts on a Windows 7 WB skin.

AeroTime Final Changelog
- Fixed Start Menu 'All Programs' mouse over highlight to not cover arrow. Highlight bar has also been shortened so that the 'All Programs' list does not accidentally appear when crossing over that region.
- Fixed painting issue with bottom 32 px taskbar
- Improved button corners for Shutdown and Logoff dialogs
- Re-instated custom user pictures for this final version (with SE3 Vista user frames)

Enjoy this final release of AeroTime and watch for a the first beta of Aero Xtreme 7 XP for WB coming in early July 2009!

AeroTime SE3.3 (Special Edition 3.3)
Released June 15, 2009, 11:45 PM ET

If you like the clear taskbars in AeroTime, you should definitely update to SE3.3!
:new: Optimized all Aero Clear taskbars (clear and sky versions - major improvement!)
:new: Added Aero 7 Glass Taskbar (with no Aero Stripes) and matching Aero 7 Glass Maximized Frame (clear and sky versions - this is the ultimate in tranparency - default in AeroTime SE3.3)

Enjoy this great update!

NOTE: AeroTime now offers 12 taskbar styles with matching maximized frames available in Clear and Sky versions - for a total of 24 taskbars!


AeroTime SE3.2 (Special Edition 3.2)
Released June 11, 2009, 3:40 PM ET

This version of AeroTime brings perfect Windows 7 and Vista user pictures, improved Start Menu right panel mouseover image and new glass Shutdown and Logoff dialogs based on Aero Xtreme for Launchy.

Enjoy this update!

InTime

NOTE: Custum user pictures are no longer available with AeroTime. They will however be submitted as a seperate deviation. This will allow me to add more custom user pictures without updating AeroTime. Coming soon...


Preview:

- AeroTime preview designed with Xara Xtreme Pro

- The 3D preview basically shows:
  • top and bottom Start Menus
  • 32px and 48px Start Menu icons
  • AeroTime Clear frames
  • AeroTime bottom Explorer Task Pane
  • AeroTime Styler
  • Vista Rainbar by Gavatx
  • QT Address Bar, QT TabBar
  • FindeXer

Requirements:

- Windows XP with a 32 bit graphics card for transparency and blur
- WindowBlinds 6.x by Stardock


Permissions and Credits:

- Aero Style was the base skin for AeroTime
- CREDITS therefore go to Windows X and his predecessor KoL
- PERMISSION GRANTED by Windows X to use his Aero Style skin as the base skin for AeroTime

Several other skins, including Aero Ultimate by fediaFedia, were inspirational in the making of AeroTime but no images were copied from these skins.

A few images from Stardock's Diamond skin might still remain in AeroTime but 99% of them were replaced since they were not accurate enough. In any case, the Diamond skin can be used as a base for any skin without permission.

:star::star::star::star::star: Technique
:star::star::star::star::star-half: Impact

The ease of application, the attention to detail, the legitimate concern for end-users and the universal applicability (32 and 48 pixel icons; top and bottom shell) make this not overly-ambitious WindowBlinds skin the best (yes, I said best) I have ever downloaded. The ease with which user pics can be changed (no SkinStudio required) and the bounty of user pics included should more than meet any XP user's need for variety. There are other user modifications included in Aerotime, all of them straightforward and easy to apply.
Add to that the slickest, most professional presentation of a piece of freeware I have seen on deviantART (or damn near anywhere) and you have the ingredients for unqualified success. This skin is a masterpiece.

Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
