Opus Apollo v1.2

Designed to be unobtrusive and useable, yet pleasing to the eye and individual (that rhymes!).

Contains

- 2 colour variations, Apollo (grey) and Coffee.

- Each colour variation contains:

- Normal and Compact start panels

- Normal and Thin taskbars

- Giants Collide wallpaper (they go together perfectly, please try them).

- VERY fast UI, highly optimised code.

Important Notes

The end tab on the Display Properties box is not a bug, its Windows being stupid. All other tabs are fine.

A shellstyle is on its way.

Yz Shadow is used to create the window shadows in the screenshot.

Updates (1.1 -> 1.2)

Added Compact Start panel versions

Added Normal Taskbar versions

Smaller status bar w/3D text

Large and E.Large start button bug fixed

All programs arrow aligned with text

Added tab mouseovers, made selected tab brighter

Inactive titlebars now slightly darker

Enhanced all mouseover widgets (more 3D)

Great job!!

I have a quick question though. I've been using WatercolorLite for about a year now, because all of the new styles that come out (which I actually like, like this one) are all thin-taskbar - they look terrible with WMP9's taskbar control. It's probably rude to ask you for a standard sized taskbar, so could you possibly point me in the right direction for getting it doen myself? I've never been able to make a thin-taskbar theme full-size, and I'd really like to with this theme, because it looks great!!

:blush:

Anyway, good job!!!

OK, something like this. Is this possible?

Top: current version

Bottom: the way I want to make it look. How do I do this?

that's the problem i had mavis .. unlock your taskbar, then move it .. to say the side of the screen, then put it back on top or bottom and your problem should be solved

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
