any ideas on how i could add the windows flag (the cool one from the screenshot) to the menu? I tried, but Windows stretches the background image. maybe if i enlarged the background image of the bar?

you also have to set the sizing margins outside of the flag itself of it will get stretched so size it on one side or the other or the top of bottom

how would i do that? also, in the logoff area, how do i change it from turn off computer to just turn off?

Using reshacker. It's really easy, just can't remember the file you need to edit :) I'm sure it'll come to me, or someone will post..

ok, the turn off problem is solved, but i still cant figure out the flag thing. here's what the 'theme' is looking like now. i'm starting to give up on trying to copy the screenshot, i just want to turn it into a really nice theme. (oh, and i can't, well wont, install stylebuilder because you have to have style xp, and that screwed my comp last time)

They will also be in the transformation pack when WindowsX finishes it

Windows X thinks its ugly cos he cant stand his themes being out of the limelite...

slate is olllld news anyways...

He thinks its Ugly cuz it is UGLY :p

but there seems to be lots of interest in the longhorn styles so he makes that fantastic transformation pack!

And has nothing to do with being in the limelite, he just doesnt see the point in doing things twice which is what it ammounts to if he and I are both doing the same style ..

He and I correspond and collaborate on longhorn styles and as a rule I try not to step on his toes by doing my own longhorn styles or at least advertising them here in neowin.

however i had not even seen that crappy screenshot of the dark aero startmenu till this topic was started (im not a big fan of the way longhorns gui is headding so i try to ignore it)

but that black startmenu got me thinking it so ugly by itself that it almost had to be designed to have the transparency effect in mind, thats why i put this one out .. its an excersize in designing a style for desktop transparency!

the next step would be to actually design a style with transparency in mind that actually looks really good :D

Anyway I seperated the slate/aero style from my big slate style so this little concept style is now by itself in a nice small download

also changed out the logoff and shutdown buttons for round ones like the screehshots

it is possible for you to add up both the "LonghornPDC" and " LonghornPDCAero" in one big theme?i like the start menu of Aero but i like the windows shell style of indigo...so it would be great if u can put up all of tht in 1 theme pack, as off i use aero one but i dnt got tht indego shell style...

thnx!,

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
