great recommendations everyone!! i love these threads that give me a way to search for new WB skins

i'll name some that haven't been mentioned

(all can be found at DA)

Fresh Attitude v1.2 By othersnow

Jadaero 1.4 by ~Flahorn

Nuage Redux By essorant

the pico series from ~nextmario (u can search pico tea and goto his gallery)

TigerGlass By IOU

these skins are all usable (ie: they don't contain tiny font that aren't unicode friendly and hard to read and also don't contain colourful, busy borders like Edisso.. i like minimalistic skins as you can see)

some of these skins will be even more usable once WB6 comes out with its Vista-like blurring

i love the flexibility that WB provides, but im not a fan of these overly done graphics, and huge frame borders and animations here and there. i just want a nice simple minimalistic them, that doesnt lack graphics yet doesnt over do them. something like "Whydda Think?" on Neowin. but i think its a shell style not a WB theme.

quick question. if "Whaddya Think" comes out for vista, or any theme for that matter and you install it will it sill keep the subtle animations? i want a new look but i love the current "fade in and out" for the windows, and the rocking of windows when you minimize it. i dont want to strip down transparency and the theme engine in vista just for a new look

edit: ppl can you please post links and not just the names?

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
