Wow... this theme is GREAT, an instant favorite -and my new desktop. However, one complaint: why do my taskbar notification are icons disappear upon reboot? If I repply the .msstyles file they're back, but...??

Thanks lots for this wonderful thing!

Gryzor

I have this problem too. Any way to fix it?

how fast do you think we can make these...damn

these extra colors aren't just mods really. we have to redo almost everything.

Hey thanks you too. I wanted to chime in again to tell you how good of a job you are doing. I do agree with some of the other posts that a whole system XPAmp conversion would be awesome (login, boot screen and all ) But I also know that time is valuable. And that you can't rush perfection.

I also wanted to mention a few of the winamp color themes that might make great colors for your visual styles.They are as follows.....not in any particualar order:

VARSITY

URANIUM

JEANS

DYMUNDS

Just some suggestions guys. Keep up the good work.

did you get permission from the origional author to mimic his work?

From the Readme.TXT where it should be

Visual Style based on Modern

Hi Chema, hi Steve,

Looks great. There is no problem for you to release this theme. You have

the permission.

X:-) Sven

that's great, if you download the style, but I wasn't going to downlaod this until I knew sven gave permission. I didn't want to support a style ripper, but now I know he got permission, I might download it. idk. It's nifty, but....idk.

well we said in the preview thread we weren't going to release it until we got the permission needed.

so...

and by the way. clover is now done also.

so that makes modern, citrus, clover, and monodark all just about done.

no offence but, damn that start icon sux really bad...

but compact menu looks nice :D

No problem - none taken. I just prefer an icon for the start button instead of START which most people tend to put on themes, and the Winamp lightening bolt seemed like the ideal choice. Plus I have Winamp installed so it was easy to just copy the lightening bolt over. I agree it's pretty plain and emtpy - I was just putting an idea forward - maybe someone could come up with a better icon?

Awesome Theme...

1) I found sone very small things, you may can fix ?! (see attached image..)

2) And maybe change the gradient color on tabsheets - like in the system properties dialog for expample...so that you can better see the groupbox borders....or simply change these colors ?!?!

3) Are the simple empty blue window captions during maximizing or minimizing animations a bug or a feature ?? ;)

umm well those of you that have restarted since applying this vs should have noticed the bug that cuts off the buttons, and in some cases even makes the tray icons go away. i am in the process of totally reworking all graphics and settings in the taskbar. the taskbar has gotten slightly taller (about 1-2 pixels) but as of now that is the only was i can fix it.

so n00dle, when you make it online again i have to show you everything i changed (which is a lot.)

As long as it's fixed that's great. (Y)

StevoCF,

I wonder if the reason some people are having problems with the icons disappearing is because of the color resolution they are running? I noticed that when I was working on some of the bitmap fixes I submitted that the orginal was only 256 colors. When I did the fixes I saved and submitted them as 24bit - bitmaps. Just for the heck of it I pulled up MS Luna vs and saved a bitmap to find out in what resolution they made there's. It's 24bit - bitmap.

Just a thought for you to think about. Not that you don't have enough to do as it is.

Thanks again guys we really do appreciate your time and effort as you can tell fom the great response you've gotten from this so far.

Cheers! :D

    • I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
    • The Radeon RX 9070 XT is right up there with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
    • I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.
