Competition is high. There are several authors providing very high quality VS in this forum. I made you a bug report (with screenshot). All the bugs are still there. Think again about the LED at the right side of the button. It leaves fewer place for the button caption.

Yes, it's true. Personally I didn't like the 3 new schemes, especially xperiment.

And you know why it keeps losing interest? 'Cause as I've been saying since like a week, all the schemes look the same, they're all gray, the only thing changing is the titlebar and menus!

The idea of this was to make Windows look like the Winamp color themes, so make'em look like it! Get the taskbar, windows, everything coloured! :)

thanks for that Viper, but does this mean, that the picture has to put on the net somewhere before putting it here?

and BTW, if you check out XPAmp, Tweaker has combined the best of both worlds ;) :)

Cheers

Under you reply box and under the quotes box and just above the add reply button there is an attachment button. Click that and find your screenshot. Click ok and add reply. It'll be there without requiring anyweb space on your part.

Viper118,

While those buttons look very nice and match Winamp5 very nicely they are not practical to use because of the problem they create as shown in your screen shot. They will more then likely have to be changed to another design.

Here's a screen shot of what I did they shows the difference.

Tweaker,

You seem to always be able to fix things so as they look better. Not just in this thread but in others as well. If I were making a theme I'd want your help cause you seem to know what you're doing. Thanks

DIEMOS, please work with Tweaker on this theme. I'm sure that with both or your work this could be one of the best themes ever!!!!

I like Tweakers version of of the Calculator buttons. In fact, I think Diemos has gone a little crazy with the led's in this theme. I mean, almost every button is an led. They do look nice, but not on smaller buttons. Please use Tweakers buttons on the smaller ones.

Also, is it possible to make the checkboxes a little lighter? They are very dark and its hard to see whether they're checked or not. I'll post a screenie if you need me to.

Finally, the new status bars are nice but a bit small and hard to see. Could you keep the style of them but make them a little larger?

Good job so far!!!!

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
