It should show up in the list on the appearance page of Display Properties (you may need to close Display Properties and open it again to refresh the list). If it doesn't show up make sure you have a recent version of the 'patched' uxtheme dll. People have had problems before when using an old version.

WOW !!! I love this visual style !!!!

It's so smooth !!

I don't know if it's a bug but, with the google toolbar the buttons are not aligned

It should look like "this", i think :

Technically it is a bug due to the smaller than 'normal' toolbar buttons. The problem is that the google toolbar doesn't use the content margins for the various items quite how it should. I don't plan on releasing a version with a 'fix' since that would mean making the toolbar buttons in every other app bigger again. Having said that it's easy enough to change by opening up the ini files if you want to do so yourself. The values you need to change are the top and bottom content margins for the toolbar (last two values). I'd suggest using a value of 4 for both.

Hmmm....is there a Trillian Pro 2 Skin in the works?

I'm afraid that's not even on the list. If anyone else wants to give a shot - go for it, just let me take a look before you release.

For those that mentioned colours first on the list would have to be teal/tan after that would probably be grey and red. These are not going to happen very soon though as I have a lot of other things to be doing at the moment so don't hold your breath. I also reserve the right to deny that I even said I would consider them if anyone asks!

I tried to edit the visual style with ResHacker, I found the values to change, but I wasn't able to change them. I looked into the everaldo 2 theme (the second screenshot, in my previous post), and there's no ContentMargin value in the toolbar section of the ini.

Any Idea ? I love your theme, and I would like to see this problem fixed.

Just mirror the settings in the Everaldo VS (if there isn't a content margin set take it out and vice versa).

This is honestly the best Visual Style I have ever used..and I go through them alot, but I am for sure keeping this one, for a long time, or until you put out another good one...I hope someone makes a Trillian Pro 2 Skin, that would so rock with this theme..I am using the Winamp skin also..this is really some eye candy,

Thank you..! :D

I tried to change it using PE Resource Explorer, but after the changes, I've got an error when I try to use it :(

Please, telle me which app to use, or could you do this for me ?

I've made a colortheme for winamp 5 ;) :cool:

styleshot.jpg

To install just extract the attached .zip file (contains a .xml file) to:

C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes\Winamp Modern

(Where "C:\Program Files\Winamp" is your winamp install directory)

Please reply if this doesn't work... :blush:

Also @ author of velvet waves, please pm me if you don't want this distributed, as you will see if you open the xml, you are properly credited in the comment field. :)

Velvet_Waves.zip

Theme Request:

Any chance of a better looking start button when using the theme with a vertical taskbar? Maby a button similar to the taskbuttons?

Im not expecting the wave idea to be executed in vertical mode, but something that looks a bit cleaner than the cut of wave would be nice. (Not sure if it can be done, but as far as i remember from my attemts at making msstyles it should be...) :unsure:

EDIT:

looks sweet Dipso !!

Glad you liked it, did you use my install method? As i haven't tested that method on my system yet.

EDIT 2:

As someone mentioned earlyer, a trillian skin would be awsome, as thats all thats missing from completing my desktop.

EDIT 3: :rolleyes:

Heres a screenshot illustrating the problem, and my sweet desktop ;)

EDIT 4: :blush: (Last one, I swear!)

Incase it makes a differance im using STYLEXP, so if that is the cause of my problems (Shouldn't be) just give a shout. ;)

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
