Regarding the 'highlight' colour for the currently sorted column in explorer using a window colour of 247 247 241 will improve it (it will be slightly darker as 'normal' rather than bright white). Head into advanced from the appearance tab to change it.

Taskbar button shadows - yeah they do have them don't they! :blush: In light of that I'll change my suggestion - it might look good if the non-active windows (i.e those that don't have a 'button') had a darker shadow to raise them rather than just a faint glow.

One other thing - the pressed state for buttons. I don't know if this was intentional but they are raised as opposed to sunken (I can see that they are just a rotation of the over state). Personally this looks like a bug rather than a feature (correct me if I'm wrong).

lol, well i wouldnt really consider it a bug or a feature.... and nice tip about window color, it didnt even cross my mind to make it lighter to revert the highlight color back to a darker color.

Ill consider the darker shadow ;) i tested it out when you suggested it the first time (knowing that was what you meant, since you couldnt tell if there was a shadow there in the first place) and wasn't super hyped, i like it suble. But ill tinker with it.

What winamp skin can you use to this VS? I hate it when my winamp "stands" out on screen.

what i dont understand is why do you need your winamp visible .. why not just put it in the systray and right click on and choose random?? with it visible it just takes more screen space plus, i dont use winamp, so i dunno

Judging by the screenshot I thought this was going to be a great visual style. After using it for awhile I found myself beginning to dislike the little skinny titlebars. I hate those kinds of mods. Also, why compress it as a rar? What's wrong with the way XP handles zip compression? Anyway, there is some constructive criticism for you. Take it for whatever it's worth.

sorry if i have taken this completely the wrong way.. but i have been waiting to blow up on somebody! its your lucky day!

For the most part thats just whining. WTF? you dont like the way i compressed the file? ACK its the end of the world.

this is no mod. by referring to this theme as a mod, you are suggesting that i merely edited a couple of the images of the original luna to come up with what you see. every pixel in this theme was put together by the mouse on my desk, over 90% of the variables in teh msstyles file were changed to suit the theme. You want to give me constructive criticism? learn what it means. All i see when i read your post is a person who doesnt know what they like, looking for something to complain about. You downloaded the theme based on what you saw in the screenshot. You used it, and decided it wasnt for you. good job. go use something else.

I have no problem with your dislike for my theme... more power to you, hell, im getting sick of the thing. but don't blame me, or the theme for your not liking it.

There another bug in your theme. Every time I move the cursor over all programs and then move it away with out clicking anything, and then move it back on to all programs, the menu just gets wider and wider. Anyone else notice this?

Overall, top notch! My new favourite theme as well :)

On subject of .rar vs zip...

thing with .rar compression, is that its not free...i believe latest version allows 30 days before you need to buy...now we all know we can find a crack out there,but thats illegal and hurts program maker...therefore as .zip compression is built into xp by default,it might be better to use it, to avoid people having to go download winrar and crack (if not willing to pay for full version)...

As for the theme,its really coming along nicely...heck ya cant please everyone,so best to just make theme the way you like...and judgeing by all the responces and willingness to point out minor bugs and such,ill say the theme is getting great feedback...

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
