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!!!!

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
