I like your theme b0se :D

One of the best :D

I had to change it though to suit what I like more.... here is a pic I attached. Maybe you can steal some of my ideas to put them in your theme :p

The rest is okay, except the 3d Shadow color, which I have changed in my hacked version, and I'd be nice if we could see the whole 3 lines date in the tray bar (Is it possible?)

Thanks, nice job ! :thumbs up:

*Flame shield engaged*

Ummm... I replaced the shellstyle.dll file and I see no changes after I restart (replaced it with the ergo2 one) - what am I doing wrong?

Also, on the Start menu the text "Turn off Computer" gets cut off (using the blue compact style) - how do I change the text to Shut Down like it is on the screen shot?

great job on the skin though.

I seem to having a problem with all of the shellstyles for the skin as well. Not one of them seems to work, but for other VSs installed the shellstyles work. Everything *looks* right with the msstyle, but the shellstyles just are not working.

Thanks for the comments :)

Original: You do not need to overwrite *anything*

As long as you extract to Windows\Resources with folder names intact, the shellstyles will automatically load.

Update fixes/improves many things, doing a button bug which unfortunately involes repetion (6 iterations to be exact) of one lengthly process :/

woo! the screen shots were one thing, but actually having this loaded on your desktop is awesome ;) thx again b0se

yes! winamp skin... hrm. i will try to start one within a day or two if nobody else wants to do it. i'm starting a new job so things might be busy - but i would love a winamp skin to go with this vs.

    • 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?
