Start button and tray hiding button should use less space!!!;));)

And the leds in the taskbar... mmm could change it too;))

And besides that, I think that between the schemes the taskbar colors should change too, and just the titlebar and menu colors:cool:: :yes::

Very beautiful VS. Thanks you.

Request: can you put the LED inside the button? This will give the button more space to hold the text.

Bug report:

- Start, All programs: the width is way larger than the longest menu item.

- Blue color is used while green theme is active (see screenshot)

- Firebird: tabs has black on dark background.

thank you :)

i will try to fix those bugs... I allready fixed few, and made few nice changes to all the themes, to match the colors more.

Also If anyone can host the next release PM me. If not it will take extra day or two for me to get some space from my friend.

next release WILL have Compact Start Menu, 2 more color schemes(arctica and citrus) and of course (hopefully) all those bugs fixed.

[and yes i will make the tasktray button a bit smaller :)

^^ sweet :)

Have been wanting that kind of progress bar :)

Wonder if the light on the taskbar can be made a lil bit bigger and also changed to green on mouse over. Also, would be cool if a green ring can be put around the minimized program when mouse moves over it.

Have you per chance found someone to host the file from where the updates can be got?

Cheers

I can confirm the bug with Firebird. Seems to do that no matter what color scheme is used. Also I have noticed the text goes beyond the buttons in some areas.

All in all great theme. Keep up the good work.

Is an update out anywhere? I mean, I saw new screenies and all. I also saw it mentioned by DiEMOS that an update was ready and just some space is required!

Also, just one small lil question... Why is it almost 6+MB? Are most .msstyles that big? Sorry, this is just my 2nd theme in use (first being XPAmp).

Cheers

update is coming along well almost done... maybe tomorrow...

tray button has been changed... and all the color schemes have been tweaked.

I will also include 'xperiment' scheme... its kind of like AMPextra... for the minimalists ;)

I still can't get it right... i dont know if its even possible to fix... on most screens they work fine.

      I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all by Taras Buria Over the last few months, Microsoft has been very busy fixing Windows 11 with features that users have been asking the company for a long time. An upgraded Start menu, the ability to change the taskbar position, new Windows Update features, and plenty more. However, not all changes are visible on the surface. Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users. The so-called "Low Latency Profile" is a special performance mode that aims to make Windows 11 snappier and more responsive. It boosts the processor clock speed to its maximum for a brief moment when rendering user interface elements or launching apps. As such, apps launch faster, and things like the Start menu or quick settings appear on the screen faster, although some are sceptical about it. Microsoft is not sharing many details about the new profile. The official release notes do not even mention it, with Microsoft only saying that the update "accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center." Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack wherever convenient. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:58989092 and press Enter. Restart your computer. After restarting your computer, launch Task Manager or any other hardware-monitoring software and check the processor clocks when opening the Start menu, Action Center, and more. Your processor should spike to its highest possible speed and then return to lower clocks. In addition to Low Latency Mode, the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update delivers additional features, such as multi-camera mode for apps (several apps can use a single camera stream), shared Bluetooth audio, improved Task Manager, and more.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I agree, especially with newer versions of MS Office supporting ODF documents, there isn't even a compatibility argument to be made. It should default to ODF on a clean install, with admin configurable options to make MS Office the default if that is desired.
    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
