Easy, he/she just used QTTabBar/QTAddressBar and underneath is Styler.

…I don't know what this is at the bottom of the windows though…

Unlock toolbars. Uncheck QT Tabbar. Drag QT Tab Standard Buttons to the left. Drag Styler underneath. Drag QT Address Bar to the right of QT Tab Standard Buttons. Now check with a full window and make sure everything stays lined up. Make the window smaller and check again. If everything it ok, you can lock the toolbars, if not you'll have to make a few minor adjustments to the positioning of the toolbars.

If you want it to look exactly like that, you're going to have to get a Vista Styler skin and a Vista theme…easy enough to find on DA.

It would be way better, if the QTAddressbar could be between the navigation buttons from the left and the search on the right… more vista-ish lookin, but still, impossible i think…

I did as the instructions in your post said but i've got a problem with styler.

With styler, this is an example of what it does:

But, as you can see, I only want the blue part of styler as shown in the image of the first post. How do I only get this part?

Thanks for ur help! :-)

The best Styler skin is Gant.

The Concave skins are very nice too…

Of course, it's all about personal preferences.

Finaly, I've found the Styler skin which is used in the picture on the top.

It's called onlyBlueBar.

Here's the link to only BlueBar - click me!

Thankyou i've been looking for that styler skin everywhere.

BTW does anyone know how to get that search box without the buttons, or is there a way to remove the user application buttons from QTtoolbar?
