I agree. If you keep reading the feedback, and wanting to include every single thing that people wants it will take forever.

Leave the aero/whatever portion of it for a TP5.0 or 4.1, whatever suits you.

But release what's already done. It's been ages and I can't wait! :)

Totally agree with everyone here on this issue. The slate thing was fun and with everyones attempts at it we have slate visual styles and boot screens and the whole nine yards to make XP look exactly like the current longhorn build. That's a lot of hard work in itself, don't over-do it though trying to make another one based on half decent screenshots of something thats going to change time and time again.. by the time you finish getting it how it looked in the screenshots there will be a new leak or new pictures that come out with a whole new look and you'll have to start all over.. Knowing from first hand experience how time consuming skinning is, personally I don't think it's worth the time.. If its something you just wanna do out of fun then by all means have at it and do what ya want, just don't do it because ya feel you're forced to because everyone is saying "I want it".. the same thing happened with Plex and look where thats at now LOL :)

That is done with the shellstyle.dll but the one you are looking for has a resizing bug in it and I think WindowsX has pulled that one untill it is fixed. The horizontal one doesn't lock down so when you try to double click on an icon you may not get the one you want because they move around.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
