Back to the topic, great theme Boz. I'm using a little tool called WinAreo Glass along with the theme and it gives the theme a glass appearance just like in Windows 7.

Will try it out if he adds blurring and some stop/start service functionality

With light window caption - even better!

It's very nice isn't it?! It integrates nicely with native Windows functionality so you can adjust your colors however you want dark/light/dark caption text/white caption text.. it's a peach! :)

One thing I like about this theme is it's one of the first that doesn't look like total **** if you leave the ribbon enabled. Having to disable quite a large new feature in Windows 8 to use a theme is rather stupid IMO. Base would be much nicer for my needs if it didn't completely suck with the ribbon enabled.

I like it. It's been a while since I've bothered with skinning but it's nice to change things up every once in a while. Here's my desktop:

And a couple of open windows:

Internet Explorer leaves much to be desired. :(

Most themes edits the background of explorer, which also edits the background of internet explorer. By default, there is no background, which is why IE10/9 looks fine on the default theme. My theme, base also has this issue, but it's less noticeable since I tried to get the background to match IE:

I hope that explains why IE is messed up with so many themes ;)

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
