This is my first post...My friend JC posted a News regarding WinBubble before. Thank you very much!

Now, I started coding the next version of WinBubble. Soon I will post some screenshots.

Please support it.

WinBubble 1.5

Again, Thank you!

You're welcome...

----------------tune up...

Sorry, i don't know about other softwares, related to WinBubble. I've created WinBubble because

of the questions and difficulties I encountered while creating a blog regarding tweaks, customization and hacks

in Windows Vista.

WinBubble Update----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next version of WinBubble.

*More customizations

*Additional tweaks

*Clean-looking GUI (New classification of features)

:)

I like this mainly because of the extra options for the Vista screen savers. I knew about these before, but I wasn't going to go out of my way to enable them..I mean, I'm not a much of a screen saver person. Overall this is a nice little tweaker. Ill be interested to see where it goes from here.

Thanks solardog.

Me, too. I'm not a fun of screensaver.

But according to my study. Most of the vista users, I've encountered (Not nerds)

They love the screensaver of Vista. That's the first thing that they have noticed before

buying their laptop in stores.

WinBubble is focused on what the users want. Not for the nerds but for ALL.

Same with my blog.

The next version will have more customizations. Version 1.5

hello BMW_CHUBB

You can host this on your website...

Just don't forget to put my website as a source.

Example:

Creator's Homepage

If there's enough traffic I get from your website. (Everyday)

I'll put your website on the download page(Logo is included).

Anyway, What's the name of your website?

Hey JC thanks! I'll be going back from my business trip in Jpn next year. See you soon!

I'm lucky 4 websites gave winBubble an award.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
