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.

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

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
