I'm back home from the USA trip with my sweetheart and i thought this would be a great time to show my effort about Visplore development. I made a video preview to show the latest version of ViSplore with functional breadcrumb bar and full glass border. This video demonstrates the glass, shadow affects and breadcrumb toolbar of ViSplore. Enjoy the latest preview!

Lee is now staying in USA for vocation trip for 2 weeks. He said he'll be back around early August before he leaves and then he'll continue his works after coming back. This incident causes all products development he's responsible to like codename Visplore, ViStart and ViOrb suspended, meaning Vista Transformation Pack 9 must be delayed until he's back and continue his development again.

I apologize for this sad delay of Vista Transformation Pack 9 but it worths getting better quality of software.

Well this will be my first official post to Windows X. Well anyway, I will be taking a break from this project for 2 weeks to work on some personal projects. Before that, lets talk about current progress. The shot below compares ViSplore to Vista. Features that work now are the dropdown menu from breadcrumb's children. But the implimentation is still early lacking a scrollbar and proper pixel position perfection in comparison with Vista. (The breadcrumb is fully functional now, but still has some glitches)

Visplore toolbarAfter announcement of codename "Visplore" project, Lee has been working on alpha builds to make this project become more feasible to show off. You may wonder why choosing to develop own Explorer program instead of Vista toolbar, right? The reason is because there is no such technology to make such full glass border in Windows Explorer. The best possibility so far is WindowBlinds' frame border but it still doesn't support vistalizing toolbar. But Visplore can...

And now software development tracking section is officially published. You'll see only product releases and updates posts in Products section from now on for easier access. In this new section, you'll get all latest information about in-house and partnered software development in Windows X's Live before other places. This includes famous Vista Transformation Pack and its subordinates like ViStart, ViOrb, Thoosje Sidebar and new Visplore project. You may expect to see new Windows X's Live product development in near future, though.

At the moment, Windows X teamed up with Lee-soft again to make another "From Vista to XP" software like ViStart which is great successful software and this time it is Vista shell explorer software which will be released in Vista Transformation Pack 9 for initial build with basic functions.
