So I decided to simply smash a Windows 8 VS together for the real minimalists ^^

(download below)

Here's a preview:

Download: https://dl.dropbox.c...191/Minimal.zip

Instructions:

1) Download uxstyle for windows 8 at http://uxstyle.com (or patch your system files)

2) Download above "Minimal.zip" and extract the files to "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes"

3) Select Minimal at personalization settings.

4) Download http://winaero.com/download.php?view.31 and make borders minimal (Recommended)

4) Win :rofl:

I have a Mac, where is that wallpaper from?

I like that minimal style it must be said.

I made it myself, it's inside the zip so if you want the wallpaper just download the zip ^^

Hi, did You have Use WSB, it is compatible with Win8? Strange, I observe WSB forum and I don't see any update also didn't get mail notification that there is update...? :rofl:

BTW> Nice and clean, but to light foe me ;)

Panda X has released a alpha version ^^ http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1737.0 , seems you don't observe the forums enough xD

You should also try simplifying the icons. It would look much better then. Just a monochromatic symbol for Music, Pictures, Videos and etcetera.

I'm not such a super minimalist myself, just quickly made this for the people that wanted something minimal :p

Are you useing a different front renderer or does Windows 8 do something different?

Good eyes you got ^^

I'm using gdipp to render my fonts, looks better in my opinion :D

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
