Lol why yes , at least he gving us warning.

Dazzla are you going to do the green color too? it looks really good.

What do you mean am I going to do the green colour? :blink:

So is that a yes? cant wait! :D :p

j/k I'll happily take whatever color mod your make. :yes:

The OS X port was made from the same graphics straight out of stylebuilder, the only thing I can think of is the manky colour profile I was using on the Powerbook.

I'm colourblind, I can't see any difference, the only way I know they're different is by looking at the RGB values in Photoshop. Win on left, Mac on right:

wow. If you're colorblind then I'm extremely impressed in the quality of work you do, and the extra efforts you make to satisfy our color requests :happy:

but there is in fact a color difference between the 2. strange. Its kinda hard to see in that little image you displayed, but if you're running dynamine olive and look at this picture in full:

you can see clear color difference (xp being olive and mac being a light green). I didnt know that macs view colors differently than xp :blink:

I took that screenshot and got the green values in xp (using paint). Here are the approximate colors as XP views them:

Your mac screenshot:

hue: 61

sat: 32

Lum 137

R: 145

G: 160

B: 131

dynamine olive:

Hue: 43

Sat: 26

Lum: 136

R: 155

G: 157

B: 133

From the numbers, I'm guessing hue is the big difference between mac/pc

Your osx version is green , it's green I say!!! not olive , maybe I'm Color Blind....

Hrm, anyone else getting this problem, or know what I can do to get rid of it in styleXP?

Inactive text and the taskbar clock gets a weird sort of 'shadow' underneath it, but it's a white/beige colour...

Attached pic is the task tray clock, magnified to show the problem more clearly. The green is my own mod, but that's not the cause, as it was happening before and it still happens on the taskbar.

That's not a problem. :p

Hey Dazzla, I'd love to finish up the OS X port for ya. Just e-mail me or IM me on either AIM at Synerage, or MSN at [email protected] (I'm rarely on MSN).

It is on my crappy monitor, I can barely read the inactive text and the task tray clock :\

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
