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.

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
