This theme has so many bugs and aliased graphics it isn't even funny anymore.

really? so why dont you post some of these bugs so i can fix them and make the theme better?

i know button sizing is a problem... but of course i can make ****ty buttons with no leds and everything will be perfect, in fact i can fix every bug if i change it to simpler design.... if thats what you want thats what u'll get its not a problem, i just though u wanted something a bit different then other themes.

DiEMOS,

Actually the problem with the button is probably sizing and design. The button needs to be about 25 x 116. Right now it is 37 x 119. However, even if you get to the right size I think people are still going to find fault that the fonts are going to run longer then the button and into the LED area. Try resizing first and see what happens.

Here are some bugs.

I can easily find more.... but I'm not gonna spend more time on this. It is full of inconsistent elements and weird sizing bugs.

If you can't find them yourself you probably can't solve them either... most of them are soooo obvious.

Your buttons with leds are distracting in the first place (why so much different colors? why leds in the first place on a button?) and totally breaking the msstyle format. You did something that can't be done nicely in the msstyle format..... so don't use it then. Then your checkboxes don't look good either.

lol, ok...RADIOBUTTONS.... NOT DONE... read the readme... the blue button on the buttom right screenshot is not done... hense the word BETA!!(which by the way is done in the new update)....the scrollbar is exactly the way it is suppost to be... check winamp5..color scheme window and see how it is there...exactly the way i have it... ..button sizing... umm i think everyone knows that there is a problem with sizing,right?

TABS.... are exactly the way i want them to be... yes they are suppost to touch each other... yes they are all blue(for now), and yes there should be NO line beneath the selected tab... because then it dosnt look good and breaks the whole design...

"Your buttons with leds are distracting in the first place (why so much different colors? why leds in the first place on a button?) and totally breaking the msstyle format." ............why use them? lol because they are part of the winamp modern skin... because they look nice, because they fit the syle.. and plenty more reasons why....

checkboxes? yea i know they dont look good, eventually i will change them, they are just pain in you know what to make..... but thats not a bug correct? its just your opinion... same way as i can say xp amps buttons are horrible... its not a bug though....

so yea don't spend any more time on finding more, and don't even reply in this thread, because i don't think anyone needs your smartass remarks.

First of all if the thing isnt't even ready what the hell is it doing in the "Completed Visual Styles" section then???

(afraid that Noodle would steal your sunshine if you didn't release it asap??)

Bottom right screenshot isn't only about the button not done... it is about the captionbar buttons being misaligned too.

The scrollbar is exactly what you want? Why does it look like crap on the right side then? It isn't even aligned correctly (shifts a pixel to the left).

About those buttons.... it's fine that you want it this way, but I can tell you that you will never get it right. The msstyle format isn't made for weird constructions like this. Plus as long as you don't make those shadows alpha blended (you just 'hard coded' it on a grey background) it will keep looking like crap in for example Internet Explorer.... or any program that doesn't use a grey background.

The tabs touch eachother... fine, but why is there missing a (black) pixel at the point they touch?

If you can't take critics then don't ask for bugreports or opinions. In my opinion you have an awefull lot to do to make this into something decent.... and now that you have like 8 (?) color variations you have made even harder for yourself.

Good luck.....

EDIT: If I want to reply on a thread I just do that.... not you or anyone can stop me from doing that. If you don't like it that is your problem... not really mine.

misaligned buttons... that will be fixed, i have not even noticed it...

scrollbars? that is allready fixed in the next update... i noticed that right after beta one.8

tabs are not suppost to have those pixels between them because it will give them that effect that they are moving up and down when they are selected...

yes i know the buttons CANNOT be fixed... that is why they will be replaced.

oh yea and i CAN take critics, I just don't appriciate smartass remarks such as yours. If you want to post some bugreport, you can just reply and post a screenshot... and not just reply with "This theme has so many bugs and aliased graphics it isn't even funny anymore. "- nobody needs that ****... If you can do a better theme then do it, I don't need luck from you or your replys, but as you said you can reply as many times as you want... so you do that :)

      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 Jawad96 · Posted

      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.
