@ 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...

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
