First impressions: It's not horrible. One thing: The "Selected" text on Start Menu items is white, agains a very light blue background - almost impossible to read. Looking at your description at devart, I see you don't want to fix bugs, but this is a pretty big one. I suggest you reconsider your "no fixes" stance.

Other than that... it's not horrible. :)

edit: Sorry about the double-post; I expected IPB to append the first post.

I made this **** for free and you don't want me at least to make some few cents? What kind of hater are you?

Thanks for the opinion fam. I didn't test the skin on other computers, so I had no idea about it. I'm gonna check this out once I have a few more bugs and other stuff pointed out.

BTW, no hate for double posting.

428 views with 3 replies... What the ****?

It's just another luna mod, and people "graze" this forum all the time.

My own time? I made this skin!

No, Microsoft made this skin, you made a few changes. No, I'm not taking anything away from you, but give credit where credit is due.

I'm not a "hater", I'm white. Montreal is just up the road from Compton now, is it? Fo shizzle.

Dude, seriously, try to look at it from my (our?) perspective: Why would I want to click through annoying ads when I don't have to?

The more you post, the less I feel like being nice about this VS. It's actually pretty bad, sort of a mish-mash of different styles which, when smushed together thusly, doesn't really work. Sorry.

Almost every single bitmap in this skin was made by me. I didn't just change a button and say this is a new skin. Microsoft gave me the format, TGTsoft gave me the tools and I made this skin.

I case you forgot what Luna looked like, go here.

What does being white have to do with anything? Anyways, sorry you didn't like it.

Yes, you used Photoshop and made them but, the ideas came from Microsoft, I can see Luna, Royal and Aero in "your" theme.

That's beside the point, I wasn't trying to imply you didn't put effort into this. I've made a few bad attempts at theme making and realize the effort it takes. Don't take this so seriously, it's only ones and zeros. :)

Yeh, I won't lie that Aero, Royale and Aqua was a source of inspiration. I wasn't aiming at making a completly new skin but more of what the default XP skin should look like. Because I just can't stand Luna and when I see it on a computer, I just want to change it. But problem is, most skin will make people not so good at computer feel a bit lost lol. And nah man, I'm not taking this seriously lol

Aren't those sort of links against the rules? Just asking.

I searched for "Linkbucks" before posting and I found nothing. But I don't see why it would be against the rules.

The caption buttons from the first preview looked much better. And the not-so-glossy startmenu does not fit with the glossy taskbar and startbutton. Otherwise I really like it. So if you could fix this...

Aight. Thanks for the opinion. I'll see what I can do when I'll have some free time

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
