Who want want the Taskbar at the bottom anyway, with the Apple logo on the start button and all. :p

Me. I'm used to the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Also, I'm not really into the Mac-OSX look, hence the need to have the taskbar at the top is eliminated. The 1st thing I usually do with such themes is to edit out the Apple logo. But that's just me. :cool:

BTW, stefanka, I noticed a small detail I thought might need correcting. There's a slight shadow at area 1 of the image below, that seems to be missing from area 2.

Sure, a discussion board is full of comments by various people.  However, there are million different ways to comment.  What these "boo hoo" kids fail to realize is that these themers put a lot of effort and time into creating a theme (although some themes can be very quick & simple to make) and the they are more than willing to share the theme w/ the rest of the world for FREE.  Despite their personal opinions (both negative & positive), the receipients (the boo hoo kids) should recognize to wholeheartedly appreciate the themer's work.  If you don't like a particular work and the themer disagrees w/ your opinion, just learn to change it on your own rather than repeatedly "bitch" at the themer to change it for you, or don't use the theme at all.  Again, I know that comments are expected in a discussion board but the comments should be addressed in a manner that promotes a themer to think about or re-evaluate his theme rather than merely ****ing him off by saying "it sucks", for example.  Let's say you're walking down the street and someone offers to give you a free t-shirt.  You look at it and decides not to take it because of the design, color or whatever the reason.  What do you say to the guy who's offering you a t-shirt?  It would be more appropriate to say "Thank you for the offer but the color is too bright for my taste" than to say "It sucks.  Go and make it darker and put a flower print on the sleeves".  That would be rude.

I agree. Themers can request help from a moderator if they feel that they are being harassed. I'm sure that the customization moderators and the rest of the team are willing to provide support where needed. Just let us know because sometime things slips through :)

With that said, I didn't mean that members shouldn't be saying stuff like "Can I have a Windows flag version?", "it's too dark for my taste", or anything in that fashion because remember, it defeat the whole purpose of having a discussion board if people weren't allow to comment and discuss. When comments turned into harassment, that's when we come in and sort things out. Just ask :)

Unfortunately, my english is very bad, but i found someone who translates.

In the first instance i do my skins for myself. But many people contact

me, thus i release them.

I'm open to honest criticism (bug report), but many people get offensive.

I would never say "I don't like the colour" or "That is ****". Everybody

has its own taste and style.

Either i like it or not. But you can't discuss about taste and style.

Like Hush Hush, that's okay. You're right. That's a problem.

But the start panel was more complicated than it looked. I worked on it

for a long time but unfortunately i couldn't do it better. That's due to

the windows interface.

This is a very nice theme.

As far as the negative comments that offer no constructive criticism, I look at it like this:

I feel that the title of this particualr forum " Completed Visual Styles " is pretty distinct in what goes here.

Kindof like, " St. Johns Mall ", where you would expect to browse, and buy things you like.

If I walk into a department store and see soemthing I dont like, its not like I run to management and say, "Hey, this shirt is too dark, its not my type". Nor do I tell Tommy hilfiger that the threads in his shirts are too tight especially if im not going to purchase it

These guys are just posting here for our benefit. I highly doubt they give a damn about anyones approval for the theme. Its hearing that there are satisfied people that makes it worth while.

If I DO download a theme that looks nice and it crashes my PC, then I would say I have the right to complain but when someone offers an ass of time and devotion for free, I have no intentions on throwing it back in their face; goot theme or not.

Im out.

PS: Thanks Themers in general, stefanka in specific.

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
