Tahoma, I'll look into that, pretty certain that its using colours from the 'Classic' colours. Should be able to fix it.

Yes nAq, I'm going to make normal start panel bigger so text is displayed on single lines...

I've also tweaked the start panel, which looks nicer imho.

I'll let you know when update is done :-)

cant wait ... for update :)

i found a little problem not entirely sure if this is a problem with nero, or with this VS but anyway

Try to zip something big, you'll see that the progress bar works OK.

b0se, once again, superb quality artwork. Perfect right at the 1st try. You are a real XP Theme champion.

Do you plan any other color variation? The blue you use is different - and looks MUCH better - than Luna's default. Can you do the same magic trick for the olive one? How about a bottle green?

The blue section wallpaper is a recolour of my Giants Collide wall.

Its in the Opus Apollo theme along with the tan version, DL it from DA (link in my sig) :p

I've got an idea for the taskbar also (sys tray), that I'm going to fiddle with also

Thank you sir.. *tips hat*.

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
