Maybe this's a big big bug...

The Outlook 2003 Contacts detail dialog, also task dialogs, calendar dialogs... This only happens to this theme. I've changed several themes. The others works well with outlook 2003.

same here. i can confirm this big with outlook 2003

also, b0se, could you chance the colors of the radio buttons and checkboxes to blue or something. whenever i see a radio button, i think i can't select it, bc it's gray and i think its "grayed out" and not selectable

aside from that, FANTASTIC theme, it's the only one that's made me switch from watercolor ergo. and i loved my watercolor ergo

juarez kiddies :/

Don't think Neowin is so squeaky clean just check out the "Halo PC leaked multiplayer" threads and such.

And who are you to say that we weren't in any of the betas for Office 2k3.

Really guys, this is b0se's thread for an amazing theme, lets not get off topic here please.

If you want to make a comment on what I've said feel free to PM me it ok, but as I've forementioned this is b0se's post, lets have some respect.

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please.

Spacey, when using your skin with the Winamp Library (2.95) the highlighted text turns to a pink box.

oh really? err.. crud. i'm using winamp 2.91

i think winamp 2.95 has some problems, can't you just use 2.91? well i don't have any time right now to look into it, maybe on the weekend.

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please.

The problem also occurs on my friends machine who is using DMX Winamp skin, I'm not sure if you made that one to or not.

Wow, this thread has grown over the weekend, not had a net connection so only just read it all :) Ordering 1MB cable tomorrow so should hopefully have that soon...

Thanks for the bug reports!

Massive thanks to Spacey for the Winamp skin, and of course, to xcession for allowing him to use his DMX skin as a base.

The update will have:

Added xxxsmall compact version (with tiny shutdown script)

Sea variants

Bug fixes

WindowBlinds version

Unfortunately I don't have Office 2003 so I can't work on the bug, but like Marduk says, it's not even out yet :)

First of all, very cool. Couple of complaints: 1) I think the border around the windows is a bit thick. 2) Can you make a version with a regular sized taskbar please? I can't understand this thin taskbar fad. 3) The font used in Windows Explorer file listings (and elsewhere) is not my favorite (maybe its not the font face, but could be a little bigger?) 4) Please make a Trillian 2.0 Pro skin. :)

Anyways, I'm just nitpicking, excellent overall. Thanks for your great work.

DMX has a trillian skin? URL please. :)

Currently I am using a UniqueHardware Trillian Pro skin: http://forums.uniquehardware.ca/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=340

I am using the first one that's posted. I haven't tried the others listed in that thread, the screenshots didn't really appeal to me. It seems to use pretty similar colors, and its a pretty cool skin in general. Although there are several bugs, not including not being fully 2.0 compatible, but I am hoping to only have to use it temporarily until a real Opus Trillian skin is released. :)

By the way, what wallpaper do you guys use with this theme?

P.S. I love the check box graphics!

Actually I have just recently given Miranda another try. First of all, I couldn't figure out how to skin it. However, this is not a complaint since it uses the windows styles (this was one of the reasons why I switched to foobar2000 from winamp). Second thing, I really like metacontacts in Trillian. Third, the tooltips in Miranda are non-existant (tooltips for the contact list). Miranda's interface seems just too minimalistic, and seems to sacrifice functionality because of it. I could go on and on. There does seem to be a lot of plugins for Miranda which could probably provide some of these features, but I really don't have the time search for a plugin for an individual feature that I miss. Please point out some plugins for any of these features if you know of them. :)

    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
