lol. You've got to be kidding me.

Some guy comes in and changes a few colours of the original Vista theme and adds a lens flare to the Start menu and you guys freak out.

It's a hell of a lot better looking than the default non glass VS. Which incidentally is in my opinion :x

Great theme ! :)

I?ve been working on a theme for Vista Beta2 5384.

I don?t like the color of the original Vista them:huh:huh: , so I have made a little change to th:D. :D

You can see it here:

But, completely out-subject : who's the girl on the wall ? Argh, I forgot her name !!

This improves the look of Vista immensely - fantastic stuff -but I have questions...

Is it possible to use the "hazing" (changing of the blur level?) as used in normal window titles on the taskbar/Start Menu?

Why don't Microsoft not do this, so the taskbar can be more transparent and legible at the same time?

Anyone know how MS have justified this inconsistency in the UI? They seem to be reliant on this white-on-black colour scheme, which on my silver Dell laptop looks nasty.

Otherwise, as good as your clear taskbar/Start menu looks, it becomes illegible and therefore unusuable when overlayed over a white/light window. Know what I mean?

Thanks for givng us hope of a non Hery Ford inspired desktop!

Hi Buddy,

May be I am too late in experimenting with Vista. I guess all the links that you have provided are dead after so long. Is it possible for you to please provide with all the downloads again at one time. If you could, then kindly contact me on subscribedmails @ gmail .com

Thanks in advance.

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
