God you guys look like a bunch of ****ing retards arguing on a online forum.

**** if you want this settled then get together in real life and beat the **** outa each other. If not then stfu

Stop flaming! This is beyond the "<--DO NOT FLAME BEYOND THIS POINT-->" line I posted. No one had flamed since. You broke it.

Read the whole thread before flaming anybody.

<--DO NOT FLAME AGAIN BEYOND THIS POINT-->

The buttons look great but you need to incorporate a greyed out version of the buttons as well as a different button for the maximize button if its already maximized. Get creative with that. Furthermore the grey text on the caption no longer suits it. Please make it black. Great beta start though. (Y)

Yeah. Make it black, and remove the shadowing, it makes it look bad.

i told all of you it is impossible to make these buttons anyway else. so if you want the look you have to give up some functionality. I can make the buttons greyed out and change the restore button. The problem will ONLY arise if you USE the help button, otherwise i have made the theme so it doesn't matter what size the fonts are.

So should i continue to develop this? Because there is no way around this problem

Oh man, I can't believe it! He make all glyphs in captionbar to transparent and make buttons in captionbar background. What if some window has help button or doesn't have some buttons?

Can you please stop... stop... just.. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :pinch:

If you *really* don't care and wanna stop arguing with Andylogo, please just don't check this thread and make those comments. Totoally retarded

Oh, man. Why you guys keep me as argueing all time? I've just shocked that he use captionbar background for caption button. That will not have hover, clicked, etc with that trick and something that ANDYLOGO mentioned. what if there's just twp buttons and you click it on blank place. I just amazed in things he has done not argueing or flamming at all. Please stop that stupid because I and my friend've told what we have to already.

I have almost given up on the aero style caption buttons(not completely) as no matter how close i get there always seems to be a problem. I have been working on other parts of the theme during my spare time and have come up with:

1)Transparent StartButton

2)Aero Style Max, Min, Close Arrows

3)Glassy Window flag in start panel

An update will come later today if anyone likes the additions

Cheers

Looks good but why is the close button a square now?

i'm not sure how many other people want this but couldn't you have a thick start bar i don't really like thin ones. also, speaking of the start bar could you make it so that when you have more than one program open the different window tabs do not seem seperate and blend in together kind of like the aero theme. does nayone know what i mean?

Jesus christ... I just read the entire thread, and I feel like you guys stole 20 minutes of my life.

@ Andylogo: Great theme, but if you'd had the Aero caption buttons with a gradiented background, that'd have looked supreme.

@ Windows X: You... you... words don't even go to describe you. Firstly, you don't release your themes separately, but instead make people download a "Longhorn Transformation Pack" which gives about a 25% Longhorn look to someone's system. Secondly, your themes aren't even that good - ESPECIALLY the Keynote one, which you've done nothing but bitch about solidly for the last 15 pages. Your slate theme was okay, but it was nothing more than a straight rip from 4051...

Thirdly, because of the Slate rip, you have no right at all to bitch at Andy just because you THINK he ripped your theme. Regardless of whether he did or not, the theme looks completely different - more refined, less ugly - and that's what matters. All of your resources came from elsewhere - and you didn't obtain permission for them ANYWAY - so why does it matter if he extracts them with StyleBuilder?

Lastly, before any of you get any smart ideas about saying: "Well then don't use his theme if you think it's crap", I don't use his theme, and I don't plan on doing so.

@ Andylogo again: Nice work, and keep it up.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
