At least it's different then the crap VS that have been on display around here lately. Can't say that about WB themes though.

Love the shade of blue you have at the moment, looking forward to seeing the full thing.

Actually, I like that start button. Maybe try a normal flag instead of that wierd looking tilted one?

I like it, could you include the original start button as an "Alternate start button"?  This may be my new theme :D

Hey thanks for those super comments..Heres somewhat along the lines of the Start Menu i envisioned. something that would be easy on the eyes but not monotonous. I WILL release the original start button for those of you that preferred it and there will be a version without Logo and leaves, for those of you that like a plain Start Menu.

Anyway.. let me know what you all think so far. also shown is compact taskbar.

I would like to think i have some forward momentum going here. The Screen was taken at 1024 * 768 for the sake of clarity and filesize... Changed quite a few things on start menu and i think im going in the right direction here.

I hope to knock this theme out fairly quickly as it is more in the minimal vein than most of my preceding work. It will not be a premium theme on Maxstyles.com, it will be a free release..JUST in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks to all of you that support my work.

..oh and the wall seen will be included in final release also and yes.. the screeny is cropped about half way. :D

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
