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

    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors

      Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
