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! :)

Hi ! everyone !!!

i respect the great job that Windows X always do.

people is never happy with what they have, always want more, so do it at your satisfaction, we always apreciate your job.

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 :)

heya peeps, been following the convo :)

windowsx... this is a cracking good skin well done i have huge respect for such a great skinner :) ur an inspiration :)

anyway, i was gonna ask, since this looks like a good place to ask-

i have the pdc slate skin, and it looks great- i was wondering, how do i get the common tasks [in XP they show up on the left of the window] to show up at the top of the window? i've looked for ages and i can't figure it out....

can anyone help?

thanks in advance to anyone who can help me here :)

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.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
