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.

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

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
