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

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • 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.
