Hi,

Sorry about the long delay, but at last I've finished it :)

10 colours (including Luna style and normal taskbar (BlueNTB), each with shellstyle.

Heres a link on DeviantART:

b0se Classic Final

Screeny:

Comments welcome!

Will work on Winamp and Trillian skins after my coursework is finished, unless someone fancies a go at them :D

very nice, though a prefer the boarderless taskbar icons

also, when switching to your theme from Windows XP the quicklaunch icons need reajusted which i think is i bug?

great theme though 

Not notced that!
Super Duper! Using it, and Love it!!

Only thing I could see that would make it perfect is having the quicklaunch icons/buttons a bit closer together. They are too far apart (imho).

Still one of the Best looking and functional styles around. GREAT work!!

Thanks :D

I did try putting them closer together but it ended up looking clustered! :(

Maybe reduce the space by say only one or two pixels? That would add up if you had five or more apps in the quicklaunch area, and reduce the total area needed for the buttons/icons. Just a thought in case you didn't reduce by a tiny amount...

It's still on top of my "Favorite Style List", and I am enjoying it.

Thanks again b0se!

Ack, where's the grey scheme!? ::Clutches chest, falls over and dies:: Wait - there *was* a grey in this at one time, right? :blush: :whistle:

I wish the taskbar buttons were flat and quicklaunch wasn't so spaced out, but it's still an excellent style -nice, well put together and most importantly, usable. Glad the final's out... great job, b0se!

It seems the quick launch icons seem to bother a few people!

Theres a couple of other small things that I'd like to change also, so after I've done the trillian / winamp skins I'll update it, with more colours :)

riotkittie: Get yourself style builder, import my b0seClass.msstyle, then delete a colour you don't want. Then you can use the Colorize tab to slide the saturation to -100%, and press the New Colorized Scheme button, name it Grey et voila :)

3 mins work!

    • 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.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
    • Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores. The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks. Opening a program? Boost away. Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content. Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly. Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.
    • This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it. Reading the article should be required for commenting.
