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.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case. Talk time is rated at up to 6 hours on the earbuds and 25 hours with the case with ANC disabled, or up to 4.8 hours and 18.6 hours, respectively, with ANC enabled.
