what happened??? somebody fill me in.
Ok so I don't visit this section much but has something bad happened with regards to Bant?
i've removed the downloads to my themes. it is time i take a step back from the theming community. I removed the downloads because i no longer wish to be associated with the customization community. most of you all are wonderful people, don't take this as a jab, i'm just done. tgtsoft and stardock are a disgrace to the customization community and should be challenged by another company immediately. there is money to be made in desktop customization, but not in the way the current dogs are doing it. don't note me about this. i won't reply, and i don't want you to take offense.

thanks for the good times.

apparently in my ever so dramatic demise from theming i wasn't clear enough at all about a whole bunch of things. I lay now in the depths of the darkest cemetary, dead...or it would seem that way from some of the reactions i've gotten..

I'm alive. I didnt stop theming because of a terminal injury or illness, i didn't stop theming because i have to sell my computer to afford some newspapers for my new bed in my new box.

I stopped theming because i'm tired of it, and very tired of recieving reactions like i've recieved from my departure from this community. So make me a villain, make me your christ like savior who is now dying for your sins, whatever, just know, i'm done theming partly because of your distorted twist on everything i do (thats you, this is a direct jab at YOU). There was nothing dramatic about my last note, i gave a couple reasons for being done, and didnt realize i had left the game of internet telephone to destroy me. If you arent familiar with the game of telephone i suggest you look into it.

As for my views on stardock and tgtsoft, i do not expect many of you to understand or even know where i am coming from. I havent been squished by the corporate monsters that these companies arent. I just don't like the position i am put in by either of them. TGT makes software that is widely known as a hack. I am tired of theming for a hack. Stardock MIGHT be a viable solution, but skinstudio is the most clumsy piece of software i've ever seen. makes me a little sick in the tummy.

I prefer to keep my work free, but is it really free if you and i both have to either hack our system, or settle for something lesser because its not considered a hack? yeah, windowblinds is inferior to the uxtheme hack. my opinion isn't based on benchmarks or bells and whistles. its just the opinion i've taken from my experiences with both pieces of software.

so, go ahead, boycott for bant, or put flowers on my grave, or send me get well soon cards, or lots of **** for and about me. because thats really what this has been about, i want your attention and i don't even want to make themes anymore. it's all this big scheme i've worked up to infuriate most of you and make the rest of you teary eyed, all for me.... kneel. or something.

i really didn't think i'd had as big of an impact on the community as to stir up such a wide range of reactions, maybe i didnt? maybe some of these reactions just come from people that like to kindle flame wars? no, it couldnt possibly be that....

your support and attention is appreciated, but unwanted, i really did stop theming because i didn't want the attention i am now getting... i didnt intend to reply to any of these threads, and just let things die out, but i've come to realize that you all need some form of clarification. i really hope i do not have to sarcastically and vaguely clarify my position again.

pass my themes around all you like, i will not be distributing them anylonger, i do not wish to be on the recieving end of this communities praise or prodding. thanks for the support, and for the attacks on my character. love it.

TNBlank.zip

Heh, it's a *.rar file... oh well, it's better than no file at all :).

I wonder why it is that Windows' integrated Zip system doesn't include RAR files... :o

It shouldn't matter because the integrated system sucks. WinRar or TugZIP or PowerArchiver or even Winzip are all better in my opinion.

Stop moaning. If Windows' built in compression supported .rar format, I wouldn't need to use an external program.

    • 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.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
