If deviantart seems unstable at the moment. Get it at the second mirror:

http://customize.org/xpthemes/49608

Known issues:

- None at the moment. :)

UPDATE 5: (16/4 - 2007)

- Captionbar height changed to 18. This fixes the "top resize" problem. This also moves the captionbuttons a bit closer.

- Scrollbuttons edge color made a bit darker. (Against the rules. It should have the same color as the 3dshadow, but they can be hard to see if you have an extremely bright monitor.)

- LargeFonts setting uses Tahoma 8 as an option. ExtraLargeFont uses Tahoma 10 as an option.

- TaskBand positioning fix.

- Blank shellstyle included.

UPDATE 4: (15/4 - 2007)

-Somehow the msstyle file didn't get updated yesterday. Download the theme again!

UPDATE 3: (14/4 - 2007)

-Message box borders fixed.

-GradientActiveCaption etc changed to blue.

-Font size 2 now uses Tahoma 8 instead of 9.

-Scrollbar changes. Size set to 15 and ThumbGripper image removed.

-Other minor fixes.

UPDATE 2: (13/4 - 2007)

-Group button fixed.

-Scrollshaft made a bit darker.

-Other minor fixes.

-Wallpaper included.

Just thought I'll help you fix sysbutton and caption title bugs.

If you have left 1 pixel high horizontal transparent line on top of your caption image, set the sizing margins in a way that only that part is resized. For example, if your caption is 24 pixel high and the image is 25 pixel in height, set the top margin to '0' and bottom margin to '25' this will only resize the transparent part of the image.

Next, experiment with caption bar height property and apply the theme after every change to see if you got the caption title and sysbutton where you wanted. After a while, you'll know yourself which height value works best.

This will not resize the caption bar but position the title text and sysbutton where you want :)

...

Known issues:

- You can't resize windows from the top.

This is what I did for my personal SlanXP2 mod:

I have set the "CaptionbarHeight" in

Normal > Substitution

LargeFonts > Substitution

ExtraLarge > Substitution

to "18" instead of "20"

now I can resize from top.

It seems you have decreased the CaptionbarHeight even more for this VS so I don't know if it will work but you could try.

I think 18 is the mininum value to chose without causing other glitches and bugs

nice VS btw

Very nice as your previous work,I just hate this color:

untitledig3.jpg

If it was white,or light grey it would've been perfect.That brownish/cream is bad.

That's what I hate most about the normal WinXP style.It looks old.

I'm using PlainVS atm,wanted to switch but that "brown" stopped me.

Thanks for using my idea on DeviantART about the SysButton/Font bug. I have found more bugs:

flumbugdr8.jpg

This is a grouped button. The left side is all wonky and in other themes I have seen the color of the number of grouped windows be change. I know crap about theme making but I hope some of the other people may be able to point out the value to change.

//edit

also, what are the fonts used in each of the 'Font Size' options? I would like to tweak the theme to show the name of the font.

Several things are now fixed. Except for the 2 known issues.

Tahoma 8 added to the Large Fonts option. :)

UPDATE 3: (14/4 - 2007)

-Message box borders fixed.

-GradientActiveCaption etc changed to blue.

-Font size 2 now uses Tahoma 8 instead of 9.

-Scrollbar changes. Size set to 15 and ThumbGripper image removed.

-Other minor fixes.

Good news! But font size 2 still uses Tahoma 9 alot, for taskbar, menus and icon's names

i think font > 8 should be used for Caption Bars ;(

also scrollbars are 16px .. u sure u updated the file at dev.art?

no i think not .. msstyle "date modified" is still 13.04.2007

I tought the scrollbar brightness was fixed in the 2nd update. Maybe I should make them a bit sharper in the next update. :p

At the moment though I'm wondering about a thing about the Captionbars. I'm thinking about fixing the top resize bug.

How can I decrease the height of the captionbars to 18 without making the captionbuttons switch to the smallest alternative? How does this work? (Bar height + captionbutton size)

  • 5 years later...

I hope someone sees this, but i'm trying to customize one of lassekongo83's great xp themes and the caption buttons no longer will sit next to each other! All i tried to do was make the close button longer and now not even the minimize button will sit next to the maximize one. Would someone PLZ explain to me how to position the caption buttons in stylebuilder? No matter what i try the buttons won't get next to each other, they are spaced unequally apart. Does the imagefile dictate this measurement somehow ?

Thread is 6 years old bud, I doubt anyone is still playing around with this today

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
