Oww, nice buttons !!

Much better, this is going to be a very nice theme ..

I wonder, are you going to do other color mods to the winamp style ? for example, another one in contrast to this one (since this one is bright, you could do the "good ol winamp" style, the normal black with green and blue theme) ?

Dang it, I'm doing a Winamp based VS too... hmmm mine is fully based out of Winamp5 it's called XPAmp, whatever mine and yours look complety different [speaking about the style not the quality], just keep up the good job :)

Laters and umm screenies in a couple of days, I'm at work now :p

the theme is coming along slowly. fixing few things as well as thinking on how to implement some stuff that havent been done before.

titlebars with the buttons are almost 100% done. scrollbars are about 60% done. I'm also thinking of changing the taskbartray and few other things.

Anyways will keep you posted.

Here is some new screens.

ok, so far everything is going good, I'm about to begin working on the start menu and then I will fix few some small things that are bothering me.

Here is a screenshot of the buttons i'm trieng to implement, but i'm can't decide which look better. There is 3 types. Tell me which ones you think look the best and which one of those should be the active button that you see(not glide over, but that you acually see).

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
