there is no point of me wasting my time download so visual styles and see.

I agree, it looks good in some visual styles, but those use other types of progressbars.

You have 3 different types in general:

1) The one that consists of blocks. You can get this one 100% perfect

2) The solid one that covers the whole progressbar background. This one too can be made 100% perfect

3) The solid one that does not cover the whole progressbar background and leaves a 1 pixel space between the background and the progressbar. You can't get that one 100% correct... there will be always this tiny bug. It is not the skins fault (since the margins are correct), but the way XP handles it.

OpusOS (and some other themes) uses #3.

You need either a uxtheme.dll hack (Neowin have one which I recommend to most people), or StyleXP (but that costs money).

After that, it will appear in your Appearance dialog box :)

I will continue to update Opus OS, but I have been exceedingly busy after finishing my Masters. I have no time to theme atm since it generates no income, and as always, the bills need paying. So unless some wealthly person decides to donate a lot of money, 2.0 won't be out for a while yet...

Hi b0se,

Good to see you're still around. Congrats for your Masters. How about selling your art works or make them donation-ware? I like all of your VS, I'd be happy to contribute.

Yo Bose if you cannot make new theme then at least update this one and fix some of the minor bugs such as the progress bar and some of the arrows, change the flag make it real, fix the shellstyle so that it has better pictures or animations.

What do you think of idea?

He said he was busy. And there really is nothing wrong with the style.

    • VidCoder 12.20

      By Copernic · Posted

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2. Download: VidCoder 12.20 | 47.0 MB (Open Source) Download: Portable VidCoder 12.19 | 89.3 MB Link: VidCoder Home Page | Github | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
