@ 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!

Answer that :p

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...

Edited by fubarshibby
Shud i call this my own theme ?

Shud i release it ?

It is more different than WindowsX's Theme as compared to AndyLogo's

:blink:

Come On guyz...God gave u a brain..Use it

God gave you a brain... Learn how to spell...

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
