take a chill pill man, infact...

... take two.

PS> "assholey" is not a word :rolleyes:

"Assholey" may not be a word, but there's also no such thing as a chill pill. By the way, you don't have to make Visual Styles for everyone if you release just one.

You wouldn't happen to know what Dazzla used to get his icons Tiled on his desktop, do you?

Quick question: How the hell do I get rid of the recycle bin? I've looked everywhere but can't find anything.

Also, how would I go about removing the program list on the start menu? Looks pretty fugly with no programs there, just a huge chunk of space.

Remove recycle bin: (assuming you have xp pro and not home)....start -> run -> gpedit.msc

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Desktop -> Remove recycle bin icon from desktop set to enabled... (see attached pic)

Here's mine after a long time of not posting.

Icons: G.A.N.T

Visual Style: Azure

Wallpaper: Blue Yellow Lego PC

Winamp: Azure

WMP: Azure

IM: Miranda IM, customized with OpusOS icons and running ICQ/MSN protocols only using about 100kb of ram!

where I can get that wallpaper???

Yes, I agree that not releasing a VS is a bit lame. I mean, why?

so his feelings won't get hurt when we all realise that the theme sucks and practically nobody but the people who collect themes downloads it. This way he thinks he is better than us by "not letting us" have his POS theme.

Tile in the menu is a shell32.dll hack from virtualplastic.net:

http://wint.virtualplastic.net/showtweak.php?tweak_id=15

Title is also a shell32 hack. My menu 218 in shell32 looks like this:

218 MENUEX
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
POPUP "", 0, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0
{
	MENUITEM "Show &Desktop Icons", 29698, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
	POPUP "View", 0, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0
	{
  MENUITEM "Tile&s", 28718, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
  MENUITEM "Ico&ns", 28713, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
  MENUITEM "", 65535, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED
  MENUITEM "&Choose Details...", 28723, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
	}
}
}

The choose details option allows me to choose "Title" which gets rid of the crap on the side of the tiles.

This seems pretty assholey if you ask me. You post the same visual style over and over just with a different wallpaper and say "not releasing it." The whole point of showing your desktop is to show people what they can do to theirs, not to say "haha i made this and unlike every other skinner out there, i am keeping this to myself". Just my two cents.

PS> Looks like your curved edges didn't work. Your "transparency" on the right corners of your windows where the edge curves is white instead of transparent.

lol. I'll send you the theme. It's called Luna.

I was noticing the same thing. I just didn't want to say anything. He posts screenshots using the same SLIGHTLY modified Luna and states it's BY him and he's not going to release it multiple times a month. Does anyone really even want it? I mean seriously, come on. Anyone that checks out the desktop threads knows you're not going to release your holy theme by now. NO ONE WANTS IT

Love your desktops Dazzla :D

Is there any chance you would put your shell32.dll up somewhere? :lazy: :p

Also when I try to make my small icons start menu have an image up the side it doesn't work, and the option 'have an image when it's set on small icons" - or whatever is greyed out.

Seems I can't edit anymore, so I'll quote my post and add more to it. ;p

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
