:: vS :: AMPed viSUAL STYLE beta TWO


Recommended Posts

DiEMOS,

Here are a few more problems that you'll want to see if you can fix. The screen shot show the caption bar for the Calculator. Notice that the image of the calculator appears to be above of the caption bar. Looks like you'll need to increase the size of the caption bar by a pixel or two. Some images appear ok but this is one that does not.

In the other part of the screen shot are the Horizontal & Vertical scroll bar in MS Word. You'll see that the scrolls appear to be missing pixels. MS Word is the only program that I have noticed this problem in.

ps. about the theme, trillain and samurize skin is works ;)

someone made a trilian skin to match XPAmp but he never released it yet. and someone also made samurize skins. You should ask them if they can just change a few things for you to make it easier.

Hey SteveFC, Diemos, NooDle and Tweaker,

Has the thought come to mind to possibly work on this theme together? I'm not sure how you guys feel about people modifying your VS's but htis is just a suggestion.

SteveFC and NooDle, not to flame you or anything cause we've all been there, but if you are really busy and don't have the time or will to finish your winamp5 VS, perhaps Diemos would use some of your help?

Diemos, would you be willing take some input from SteveFC and Noodle? They have things in their vs that I like better and could possibly help you with the un-fixable problems you've mentioned.

And Tweaker seems to know how to fix things (imagine that :D ) and is willing to do so.

I don't know how you guys feel about this but it's worth a shot. It seems like you guys could make a killer Winamp5 VS in no time.

You do understand that StevoFC & n00dle are in direct competition with DiEMOS on who can make the best Winamp 5 style. It would be nice though if everyone could bring it together to make one killer style.

Yes I suspected that but I've also read that SteveFC and nOOdle are short on time and are not in a hurry at all to finish their vs. That's ok and we all understand. I was just making a suggestion.

Tweaker, would it be possible to give me a small tutorial on how to extend the margins of the start menu so that it can show my user pic? I've asked Diemos if he could make one and this is what he said to do but I'm not very good with stylebuilder. I don't think Diemos would have a problem with you showing me this as it would be for my personal use only (my user pic is a picture from my wedding last year and I'd like to use it).

If Diemos needs me to ask for his permission then here it is: "Diemos, can Tweaker help me make the start menu a little larger for my own personal use?"

Thanks guys

Competition? hehe

GundaDin19, what kind of question is that, ha... of course you can bro :) in fact, msg me later on tonight, if i'll have time i'll help u.

I started college again(in college now) so i don't have that much time either... the next release should be much better one w/ less bugs and slightly different, here is what i'm planning to do in beta TWO . 0:

fix: buttons, progressbar, leds, scrollbars & add shellstyle(hopefully) and if we're lucky rainledar,trillian and samurize skins.

In addition, i will be coloring the taskbars and perhaps making them a bit better/smoother/sexier.... Start button will be redone aswell(I think) to a better quality, haha... Leds will be GONE from the taskbar... they just don't fit, i was planning to take them out in ONE.8 but i forgat. Another thing....

I need someone who can make a shellstyle, its such a pain in the ass to do, i cannot do it... so if anyone is willing to do one, please PM me...

Stevo thanx for that idea.

Tweaker thank you for the buttons you send me, i still havnt had the time to check them out, i'll check them when i have some free time.

For all of you having a problem with the tabs in Firebird, I came up with fix for use with this msstyle.

Dig down into the user profile until you find the chrome directory, find the userChrome.css file and open it with wordpad, notpad or editplus (windows notepad will not work correctly) and add the following lines just as they are here.

/* Change text color of normal tabs */

tab {

color: rgb(192,192,192) !important;

font-size: 12px !important;

}

/* Change text color of active tab */

tab[selected=true] {

color: white !important;

font-weight: bold !important;

}

If you do not have a userChrome.css file yet, use the sample provided (userChrome-example.css), add the above and save as userChrome.css

The colors can be changed to anything you want, I used white and gray as the match the style.

Really like the style and plan continuing to use it even with the bugs.

Yes indeed those buttons look very much better :)

In the last shot provided by DiEMOS, in the taskbar, wonder if there could be a glow put around the active one and a different coloured glow around the one the mouse hovers over! I know the XPAmp had that little spot bulb sort of which would light up in different colours, but it would be really nice if the glow could be all around it which would make identifying a lot easier.

Also, would be really helpful if the min, max, close buttons could be made a couple of pixels larger.

And like all the others, I await the beta TWO.0 :)

Cheers

    • We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.
    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
