uhm... i really liked the screenie on the first page more than the newest one. is there a way to get this alpha stadium back for me? :D i love the taskbar from your first screenshot... much better than the new one. and this tiny leds dont look that good... would leave them simply away. but... well, maybe i think of the wrong theme, since this is designed to be more winamp-centered. hmmm... want this old one :D

ok, there will be a delay...because umm lol my StyleBuilder 2 beta expired... and i can no longer use it. I installed version 1 and for some reason i get an error message saying "your visual style cannot be applied. Unknown Property"

anyone know how to fix it? thanx.

edit: oh and also, that last screenshot is not acually final. buttons at the top will be changed and of course the font and ect will change, oh yea u might of also noticed no Inactive titlebars... thats on the way too, lol :) that was just a preview of whats to come. those 2 titlebars are not very exciting as the others you havent seen.

yea, thanx, i figured... well anyways i have to re-add bmps/pngs and re-add values from styleBuilder 2 to Stylebuilder 1.

.....I'm almost done with that, so thats a good news.

In addition I finally fixed many of the bugs with the new buttons, so they are almost perfect in any resolution or any menu.

beta tests are going fine...almost upto 1.3 release. The only problem we have left is the buttons... there are some problems with the sizing and text on differnt windows, but that will be fixed eventually. Other then that, No serious bugs found. I still need the permission from Nullsoft or Sven.

In additionI need some help from anyone who knows how to do this...

I need to disable hover over the logoff buttons/shutdown buttons (not sure if thats possible) and i need to disable the box around the selected button.(those small pixels makng a square- when the button is selected).

Anyways i'm done with another color scheme, its called City Night, I'll post a screenshot later today. (i'm in college now)

Another thing, is i will be redisiging the taskbar buttons, because... well they look ugly, i will make them more sexier, I'm not sure if i will leave the leds there or not, but we'll c.

one or two more experienced beta testers needed so PM me.

also if anyone can help me reach Sven who designed the modern skin....setvoFC...n00dle? :)

ahhh... this is so totally gonna rock dude!

thank you, you make me very happy...

can't wait for release and keep up the good work...

p.s. I don't like the LEDs on the taskbar, they don't fit in with everything else... I think it would be better if you leave them out or better yet, change them so they look like the LEDs from the start menu

    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
