@ WindowsX

Firstly, the white taskbar idea is from Keynote, not your creation. I also didn't even know you had a keynote version(do you?), if you do i'm sure this one is not like it as i don't like the thick taskbar from keynote(i also didn't like the window flag in the start panel or the coloured startbutton).

are you trying to say your work is completely different than his because of those two differences?

im sorry, but that IS a rip

Yes. I have no copyright. But the themer should have the good honor and respect. They should ask the author about permission first about author's special customization. Cuz there's no real Keynote theme so themer have to make their own rendition. Like I created my Aero and Aero Keynote ones. It's my own customization which was ripped by ANDYLOGO.

Andy,

great theme. Suggestions:

Make it a little more colorful, not to cold. It does look good with the G5 icons though.

I would say clean up the border line of the black and white on the start panel as they appear to be distracting from the panel. It doesnt look right.

Maybe use some color blending in gray tones or even an aquafied highlight on the top of the menu to add a bevel to it. the black and white contrast on the top just doesnt feel right. It needs more.

Any possibility of a compact menu?

Other that that, it looks good. A tid to cold looking and not vibrant, but it does look good.

GK

@ WindowsX

I don't know what the big deal is, they don't look even similar. Maybe its just me but the colour is completely different, caption buttons are different, startbutton is different, my caption bars have a slate/plex gradient effect not flat like yours, my startpanel has a screwy black line around the user pic(yours doesn't), taskband program highlights are completely different, and my captions and taskbar are way thinner.

@ GOJI_GKing2000

Thanks for the suggestions

Cheers

Full stop. That's very old work, man. Check it out in Transformation Pack. Start Panel's resource images are exactly same and also the rest of all too (Just remad that ToolBar and something else but it's my idea anyway) You can post many screenshot but you can't public it in themexp or some great theme site cuz it will be deleted becuase it was a rip. Ask some ppl who used my work and all of them will say it is a RIP! RIP does not mean everything must has no different but you just mod some resources to make your own.

One last time

I DID NOT RIP THIS THEME FROM WINDOWSX

I just don't understand how two themes that look so different despite being based on the same screenshots can be thought of as a rip. But i personally don't care what anyone says i will release this theme with the personal knowlegde and satisfaction that I created this theme by myself from scratch( and longhorn 4051 resources).

Cheers

This is absolutely ridiculous. It's ALL a copy of an original work by Microsoft, yet you don't see Microsoft whining like a little baby, do you? So just back off WindowsX, because, first of all, there are SO many differences that it's amazing you're complaining in the first place, and, second of all, I know I wouldn't listen to a word you have said so far, and it sounds like he isn't going to either.

@ANDYLOGO

GOJI_GKing2000 said exactly what I was thinking ;) Change those things and I think you'll have an awesome VS here. Also, I think that the bevel effect shown for the taskbar looks pretty good *nudge nudge* (Y)

Ok Guyz...Lets out it simple...

Differences:

1- Different Icons :p

2- Different Start Button

3- The shape of programs in taskbar

Similarites:

Too many to count but..here a few (Other than the SHell tyle)

1- LogOff and ShutDOWN buttons

2- The startmenu is exactly SAME

3- The button for expanding the taskbar icons

4- And everythin else...

I mean..come on..I can just use another iconset...change the start button and call it mine ??

If yes...Im ready here with a 100 themes..

@Andylogo.... It Wudn't hurt if u just ask...who knows if u ask nicely he might accept..

and now the most important thing...

U SAID U HAVEN'T SEEN HIS THEME !!....HOW DID U GET THE SHELL STYLE

Answer that :p

There's no lofoff buttons, no start panel background and no shellstyles. You can't even make your own shellstyles and Start panel's border size also same as mine even I mod it myself. How can you describe this? I bet you're modding my resources and move it to your VS with few difference.

I just don't understand how two themes that look so different despite being based on the same screenshots can be thought of as a rip.

You make me so mad! screenshot? There's no good quality screenshot so themer has to make his/her own rendition. But you still make it just like me even I make it all myself.

I feel so mad and hate you so much about your reply cuz it's reasonless answer to avoid ripping. If you ask me straightly to use my modification, I would regardly hand you some. But you're not!

I already explained the shellstyle i modified his slate version from themexp. Mine still jumps it is not fixed size.

taskbar expander button is from longhorn 4051 resources

what else do you want an explanation for.

cheers

Shellstyle also rip anyway. (Not modication because it has exactly background and buttons which I fix buttons trans myself and I tune bg myself too)

I won't talk on this thread anymore because sucking work is not important for me to say. Just a waste of time (Better go updating my work from LTP on themexp)

If you want to rule this, MSN [email protected] and I'll show you my work.

Now you're getting even more ridiculous. Hating somebody over a damn VS... That's a new one... Well, like I said, I don't think what you do will work, so you better just stop now... As for the whole rip aspect, I don't see how it could be. Have you not heard the saying "Great minds think alike"? Two people could easily create the same rendition from the crappy screenshots posted about the net of it. Easily. So do not assume that it is a rip; it is irrational and jumping to the conlusion, which is never a good thing to do. I suggest you just stop now, before you give yourself a heart failure, especially when it's only over a VS...

EDIT: Note the calm tone in which I was "speaking" in this post. It helps when trying to converse with people...

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
