I really like the Slate themes brought out so far. I was looking at some shots from the PDC I noticed the start panel has the User picture/logo (or whatever the name for the picture is) half attached the start panel? Meaning that it is half "sticking out the top". I have seen some other VS's that have been made like this and I am wondering if anyone is planning on making a LH/Aero (whichever it is) VS with a startpanel like this? :)

well the screenshot is pretty easy to reproduce as a static startmenu well it would be close anyway.. black on the left white window on the right .. user pane magic pink for transparency with a few black pixels on the bottom to cap off the startmenu. user name text should be able to hide with negitive values in content margins so only the user picture will show, unfortunatly user pictures dont seem to do transparency so ya cant have a cool user pic like in the screenshot .. plus the screenshot has window transparency turned up pretty high .. im guessing the normal slate gradient is actually in the left side of the startmenu on that screenshot

Ill play around with the idea and see what i can come up with :D give me a day or so, have a real life to attend before i can play with a new style again ;)

OldeCrow,

I look forward to seeing your attempt at the startpanel. I really like how it looks in the pic above!

I agree with TheEcho, I think this could be made to look great, even without the fancy Aero effects :)

same here, this could be made into a great theme. any idea if you'll get to it by saturday night?

WindowsX is right its just plain FUGLY !

and i did tell him i didnt think i would do it after saying in here that i would ..

having said that ill try to at least get a slate/aero startmenu together for a screenshot since there seems to be so much interest :blink:

While I was thinking about this i did tinker with another style this afternoon to see if i could reproduce the basic layout as the screenshot ..

Clickme!

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
