Since there's alot of VS out there... some nicer than others. I decided to create this thread so everyone can post their favorite VisualStyle. I see people asking "what's that VS" in the monthly desktop thread everyday. I really think this thread will help people keeping an eye on what's trendy these days when it comes to VisualStyles !

Here are the 'rules' :

  • NO DUPES (I WILL KEEP A LIST IN THIS POST)
  • MUST POST A SCREENSHOT OF IT IN ACTION (800x600 -or- 1024x768)
  • MUST LINK TO THE VS (DEVART OR NEOWIN THREAD)
  • PUT THE AUTHOR AND VS NAME
  • DO NOT POST ANY VS YOU CAN FIND, ONLY POST WHAT YOU CONSIDER NICE
  • NO OFF-TOPIC POSTS!
  • READ THE RULES AGAIN

Hoping this will get a sticky :)

LIST:

Competition for what? Different people have different tastes and life-styles. Let them judge their best themes in their minds instead cheering their favourite themes to beat others. I think we should make Visual style gallery to let ppl find their themes more easily than search like

god, what's your problem ? you're very annoying.

Where the hell did I mention the word competition ? Where did I say that it was a place to "beat each other's theme" ? Get your facts straight before assuming stupidities.

Learn to read, geez !

-edit-

Word "Hall of Fame" meant to be the best or most popular themes. I read all of your purposes and I think it should be Theme Gallery than Hall of fame to decide something good or bad. Ideas you brought could take members to compete their favourite themes for further posts like "why don't you add XYZ VS? I think it's cool too!" and then someone said that sucks (This is just an example so don't be serious). So I'd like to tell you about changing topic from hall of fame to theme gallery.

Get it?

Yeah that would be a good idea... but I don't want people to add every single VS out there. I want people to post what THEY think is their favorite or best VS to their eyes.

I also don't want this thread to become cluttered with the past couple posts we made. I want it to be 95% of screenies and VS.

Windows X go find a new thread to troll. I personally think this is an awesome idea if done correctly and if you have nothing positive to contribute don't say anything at all.

Opus Natural by b0se

It's clean simple and perfect it has been on my desktop for ages.

i personally think this is a great idea for a thread. one thread where someone can go through and see many great visual styles and have the download links right in the same thread. :happy:

my personal favourtie is HmmXP for various reasons. first of all, its simple, so simple yet still appealing and attractive to the eyes. i've been using it for so long now, its kinda my xp default. i will try out new themes, but i always revert back to HmmXP.

got a download link? never heard of that version of Opus.

nice, never seen it before. i'll be good to kinda organize them all together - maybe a site with only top neowin choice vs (containing only screenshots, names and links) ? I would love to be able to check out top 20-50 VS's based on neowin choice (no ranking order, obviosly).

SS Simplex

SS simplex is a port of a theme original made by Kevin Husted at www.swizcore.com for OS X. Thanks to kevin for creating such wonderful themes and for granting permission to port them to Xp Platform.

This theme includes 2 styles, regular and gel.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
