Do you guys remember Longhorn misunderstanding?


Recommended Posts

Since lou_dude88 has posted in https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=166144 I wonder why ppl get so excited so much and posted something like "awesome theme!" or something. I released them before but didn't have great feedback as posts in here. Is it because they don't know those're my works? My friend told me I have bad reputation. I wonder why. It seems like I have many foes in here like scabo2 or someone like him. Even my old friend, Cin|Ful, he lost respect from me from something I don't know. I know I suppose not to post something like this but I curiously want to know before I leave.

Well don't mean to rub it in but since you asked ....

Whenever someone makes a Longhorn-esque theme, you always seem to create some sort of arguement in the creators thread.

E.g. "You ripped graphics from my Longhorn Msstyles" or "That looks simlar to my Msstyles", or something to that extent.

When also the member has proved that they have no ripped your Msstyle.

^ That's the type of reputation which doesn't go well here.

Radish?

maybe it was that crap between you and flyakite. but good work nonetheless.

flyakite? I can't think how I could have problems with him. All I remember is I asked him to make installer for him, he appreciated but he'll make his own for some reason, I tried to ask him more for his reason, he replied with acceptable answer. That's all.

erm, everyone here likes ur work

I generally don't. I like things like Nano and Longhorn Inspiriat, styles that try new things and do it well. WindowsXalways seemed to me like he wanted to be the first to get every type of longhorn theme out and then got angry if someone else wanted to do a version too.

Only one person I really have a deal with is ANDYLOGO. He used to rip it from my work and many clues can prove it. The rest? I never say anything like accusing or flaming for rip at all. I remember only two person. Ortega, I saw my shellstyle over his first shot so I assumed he may use my Slate to mod. I gave him a compliment like great mod from my work. Little tuneup would be perfect alternate Slate. It seems like Ortega didn't have any problem with it but some members were trying to pick this up and knock me! Corporel Clegg, I just want to say he used my new Slate to mod but all that happened is same as Ortega's case. Problems I'm facing is not ripping between I and author but pretending "RIP" from members! They acted like I'm accusing the author about ripping my work but the truth is I never even think of it except ANDYLOGO's case. They're many guys who want to get me down from here. I'm tired and so bored of it.

You're wrong, Raum. I'm not like you're thinking at all. If you believe that's real, show me your proof. You shouldn't prejudge from what you haven't seen.

I love your themes, as I love most of the themes created here on neowin. Everyone has real talent here, I only wish I could release something that looked as good as most of this stuff.

Since this seems to be an emotional thread, I'd like to apologize for ressurecting an old thread a few days ago :( I used the search function and wasn't checking dates.. BUT ANYWAY back to the point, your themes rock, keep them coming ;)

Edit: Windows X has helped me with every question I PMed to him. He's a very helpful and understanding person.

??? I was telling you the impression ou give me, my opinion of you, I don't need proof for that, just like how I don't need to prove to you that pepperonni pizza is better than mushroom pizza. I'm not prejudging from what I haven't seen, I'm judging from what I have seen. I judged the way you theme, I never judged you as a person, so 1. I am judging your theming from what I have seen and 2. No need to get so defensive.

You said I really want to be first in everything about Longhorn and will get angry if someone make a version too. I don't like your post. Straightly, I'll get angry with only posts like this. So I need proof how could you think of something like this.

god shut up who cares.  you can't have everyone like you all the time and threads like this make you look like a self important whiner which doesn't help your case at all.

Didn't want to sound rude but I prettymuch agree. This is a computer customization forum, not therapy corner.

X, I thought I made it clear. I'm not gonna go on a scavenger hunt for proof for you because I just don't care either way. I didn't post to convinceanyone of anything, just to share my opinion.

This is horrible. In the time that I have been visiting Neowin.net I have noticed one thing about you WindowsX. I do like some of your work, however, no matter where you go/post, there always seems to be a big "issue" surrounding you. Either you are mad, or someone is mad at you for whatever stupid reason. You threaten to leave all the time and always claim that you are going to "take breaks" because your work is not appreciated. Maybe the reason you get so much negative feedback is because it seems like you make a new post daily saying that "look at this, i was toying around, tell me what you think." In such screenshots that you post, there is very little change in any of the work displayed. After some time, I can see how this would easily become annoying to some. So..... if you are going to continue to post your work, make some changes and be slightly more original in your designs. Thats my take on it.

** Also, stop being such a cry baby

WindowsX I just think you think far too much of yourself, really just because you make some Longhorn inspired themes doesn't make you the be all and end all. Seriously, get over your self.

edit: And those little girls you have on your desktop freak me out - even if they are a form of art they really do resemble 12 year old girls :x

I know but I have a bit too much flames in short period. And that makes ppl who used to believe me lost their trust. I'll ignore it as usual if anything is all right but it isn't.

Hahah.

That's why I need to talk. You think I want to own everything about Longhorn and that's not true. I'm always facing crisis when I want to post something in Longhorn thread. Though it's just a normal post but someone may dig it up for flame like past. I'll get depress if I want to say something about Longhorn theme because I'm afraid of post after me maybe flame. It used to be like this for ages and I think I can't hold it any longer.

For anime sitter, search in google with love hina window sitter and get it.

WindowsX you can own Longhorn, as I'm sure it'll be the same sh!t microsoft has been pumping out since 1985. If you're feeling depressed about the comments on this board either take it on the chin and continue to make your themes or take a break, but making threads like this is lame. Think of the bigger picture though, peoples comments on this board mean JACK ALL, just ignore them if they pee you off.

I've been reading these forums for ages but only recently signed up. I appreciate the talents of all the artists/programmers/ etc that frequent these boards, but I have to say to WindowsX : Dude, I see the talents you have but for the love of god, leave the 16yo teen angst, the world is out to get me crap at home and do what you do best.

    • About bloody time. I have got PRs with hundred of files and the Web UI just struggling to even load the pages.
    • I wonder if it was applying secure boot certificates/dbx files?
    • I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
