:laugh: if you look at "Engel.jpg" in the preview (at 58%), it looks like the building is a naked dude, the roof overhang is the dude's arm and the drain pipe is the dude's "drain pipe", and the girl's happily receiving whatever's coming down the pipe.

Is it just me? :laugh:

The VS is nice enough, if a bit bland, which I supose is hard to avoid with a theme like "ashen". (Y)

Didn't mean to be harsh, but I didnt appreciate the comment.

It was a joke about the picture, nothing else. Internet can be harsh.

Anyway, the theme looks great but why the name Ashen? If I remember correctly the first Ashen theme was made by Bant and this one doesn't look like it. Nonetheless, the theme looks great.

No comment.

Thanks, glad you liked it. Somebody else asked me about the name too. Didn't know the other Ashen existed. Named it Ashen because of the dark grayish appearance. This is version II, check my gallery for version I, you'll see what I mean.

This is the skin i'm using.

I love it, but I can't set the shutdown image :(

Glad ya like it.

The shutdown program pictured in the preview is an external software which I use called "Gehrunnerjunge" and is included in the pack. However, if you want your normal windows shutdown dialog to look the same as the Ashen theme, then there is a link on the download page to help you with that.

Hope that helps.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
