Personally, I don't like this theme at all. Non-creativity and odd style from combining Luna with Plex additions. But I decided to be for Longhorn. that's why I created this.

You'r not the only who thinks that.

I mean Plex wasn't all that but if you ask me this looks awfull.

It's really a weird plex-luna combo, and if you told me this was downloaded from luna recolored section of themexp i believed it.

:no:

It becomes time that they hire everaldo and some apple designers to do the GUI, that would be better. ;)

BTW the port is done very well. :)

Let me give you some terrible about your wanted concepts.

If you want to make it looks OK, I have to make inactive caption bar as active ones wit hdifferent text color. OK?

Fixed.

Wow, amazing! Please release a Beta 2, please!

will you let him work at his own pace, he's killing himself trying to get it done. When hes ready, he will release.

Is it just me or the beta theme only comes with the original black slate? Where is the blue one?

Where is the final link?

jeez. i hate people like you who don't read threads properly. he has been working for months on this project. let him release it whenever he is done and thinks it's fully done.

I hope you see the irony in this; you "haven't read the thread properly" either apparently..."months?" Build 4051 has only been out for 3 days. His first post was Oct. 26

aww, lets look at some more irony shall we?

if you had properly read this thread, you would know he HAS been working on this longhorn project for over a month now, but yes he only started working on the new Slate theme just a few days ago.

:no: tsk tsk :no:

I'm not going back and forth with you past this point, but we're only talking about Slate and build 4051 stuff, that's what he's waiting to release

No, thats not what I meant. I think he should just immediately package up the current development copy of Slate in a RAR file and post it up here. :)

Wanna heard more. Ones in shot was disposed. CaptionBar is too poor for me to accept. Now I made CaptionBar looks exactly same as active bar but change font color.

AND I WON'T POST ANYMORE BETAS BECAUSE I WILL PUBLIC IT AS RELEASE AFTER THIS TIME IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME THINK FOR SIDEBAR TASK.

hey i thought of an idea to help release this longhorn pack finally

he needed an idea for another thing on the sidebar

well i thought of two... but the problem is we (x and i) both do not know how to do it

if it is possible, could someone make a bandwith monitor/ cpu usage monitor based on html flash or java

greatly appreciated and it would FINISH this stuff so X can finally release it :)

I heard there was a poopy slate theme when you disabled the side bar, I think this was a mistake that Microsoft made. I really think the slate theme (with sidebar) is REALLY good looking and the other one is good, but not as pretty.

Windows X: I downloaded your MSN pack from your site, I like it thank you. And about the theme, sleep is more important then releasing it. YOur theme is my default theme (like I had said earlier) and I haven't seen many problems (I wouldn't know why this wasn't the full cause I love how it looks). Keep up your good work and take your time. I'm happy with the beta for now.

basebrd.dll

browseui.dll

imageres.dll

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
