Read the whole thread before flaming anybody.

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

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.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
