Nice VS. I'd like to see some minor improvements:

- status bar in light color (make the horizontal scollbar confusing)

- column headings in windows explorer (detailed view) are not well distinguished enough

- mouseover effect on taskbar is nearly invisible. A slight 3D effect would be nice

- taskbar: current task is too flat, only the background color is changed. Add 3D effect like what you have done for the scroll bar or the windows close button (X on top right of window).

- menu: use same font than the one you use for dialog box or tab labels.

- personally, I prefer normal font for status bar and start menu. But it's OK to leave them bold.

- disabled button: the text is not very readable (not enough contrast)

I'm sure the next version will be great.

ummm why not just mod it for yourself :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

he was just making some suggestions to improve the theme based on his opinion..

i agree, it was a tad picky and way too subjective to take into consideration, but still, dont mock the man for giving his opinion..

I also think the taskbar selected color is a bit odd, along with the button colors. Also, the text on items in the start menu doesn't stand out enough...everything's too gray (I'm using the Despair variation). And, overall a bit too dark for my tastes.

All in all, a fairly good theme, and a lot better than many themers can do...but it doesn't feel as polished as Classix, and it's definitely not as easy to use. I guess I'll continue to use C10k2 for now :)

xcession: bug fixed, same link as the first post

To all: sorry about the colors but Im not going to change them, they were taken from k10k and since the k10k and the kaliber themes line is a tribute to the site I need to keep the original colors, you are very free to modify the theme for personal use.

Dark Vageta and elw3irdo,

Did you spent some time to review the VS? I submitted some opinions, admittedly some are subjective. At the very last I've tried to be contructive. Sorry if it didn't sound obvious enough to you. I actually only contribute comments to the few VS I like.

Let's say the author received 100 posts saying "OK, that's great". Of course it is good but that gives fewer opportunity for possible improvement. I don't know who between us 3 helps the author more.

If Saint Dark feel offended by my remark, then I apologize. Please let me know and I'll ask the moderator to delete the former post.

dont worry, your post didnt offend me and I agree with you in some points, the fact is that I really cant change the color shades and theme structure since this theme is a tribute

    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
