i have yet to decide on the buttons, how they will look selected and inactive.... i'm going to try to taskbar buttons glow like you asked, but we'll c...i have also added a new font to the menus, which in my opinion looks much better. font is called "Frutiger Linotype" ... anyways check the screenshot for my current desktop...

So basicly i need to make 'selected' buttons and taskbar buttons and I have yet to fix the progress bar... i think that those are the only things that need fixing...in addition everyone who msged me to beta test, msg me again. thanks :)

This is becoming one of the best Visual Styles ive ever seen, great work DiEMOS . I, too, like the new buttons :)

Does Beta TWO.0 have the global scheme ppl suggested ? aka, all elements change color in the diffrent color schemes instead of just the menus etc .

Thanks for the replys on the Firebird fix.

Remember that if you change to a different Visual Style, the tabs on Firebird will follow and change background color, but the text will remain the same, so if you use white text and the background changes to white, no visible text. Just change the userChrome.css text colors to a different color than the background and all will work again.

By the way, either button looks good.

DiEMOS, if you can't get the glow for active in the taskbar, bring back the little light in the corner, or something that makes the active window unique.

well i have "almost" fixed the progressbars, they look much better now, but there is a slight(1 pixel off) problem with them in Internet explorer, hopefully i can fix it...

oh yea... I made a slight glow effect around the taskbar buttons and regular buttons ... i'll show that later

so i guess theres not a long wait left :)

also i ask again, can anyone help me with ShellStyle..... PM me or reply. thanx

update? you got it... here is what i got soo far... not final design of course ;)

OMG. this looks great. what about the change in start button? or you keeping this one (its ok, but not great like the rest of the vs)

waiting for release :woot:

    • Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.

    • This has been on the roadmap for years, nothing really new here. This is one of the few areas where Microsoft is making Windows better. Universal print is a very good things and so far works as expected. The last step is ending the option for 3rd parties to add traditional custom drivers. It is somewhat of a hurdle, but it is for a long-term good. The downside is that printer manufactures are likely going to use this as an excuse to force users onto new printers. Considering this roadmap has been public for years, then printers sold during that time should be covered...but I'm sure they will have a different opinion.
