Seriously, how much time do you really spend looking at the display properties?

I think it's minor, and I say hell of a good job. Keep up the good work.

u sir, are a moron. inactive windows dont only show up in the display properties menu. and the tab thing is easy to fix, it would have taken a GOOD themer maybe 5 minutes. ah F*** it ill fix it myself.

Settle down, big guy. I mean, I doubt everything can live up to your apparent high standards. Just let the guy be.

Anyway, onto some good criticism meant in not a jackass way. I do think there are a few bugs that need to be worked out. For instance, the attachement shows the craziness that comes when using Trillian. Just thought I'd point it out.

LOL. From what I know, all themes are like that on the first tab when it isnt selected. The only reason why it sticks out is because I didnt put a dark border at the top of the frame.

And I added a beta start button into the extras because some people wouldnt like the new start button. The start button in the extras folder was actually the one I was going to release v4 with, but I chose not to. But ill upload a new update (vFOURpointONE) with extra start buttons, and a darker panel edge for you, picky ******. And the inactive window IS FINE ON MY pc, so it aint my fault if ur running xp on a p1. LOL, j/k ill see wat i can do.

Finally, I would like you all to know, that when I started work on the souluna style, the msstyle file was so fukd up, that a lot of bugs were im possible to fix. I had to just hide most of the bugs using some experimenting, so I dont appriciate the criticism, because this wasnt a new clean theme made in stylebuilder it was ported in windowblinds/skinstudio by msbmsn, and came out very bad. And if you want proof, open up the original souluna post in stylebuilder and try to edit those windowbar edges and see what happens.

I've been a big fan of this VS from the start... even when "the one that shall not be named" started it, and I'm glad that you took it over. But there's still a few major problems here.

1. Start bar gradient is still "not quite right"

2. Fonts = What fonts are used for the VS?

I'm running a monitor at a res of 1400 x 1050, and the visual style is unusable. I can go and change the fonts, etc, but it would be nice to be able to use the VS default, the way it was intended.

You've done an awesome job, and I love the style, but there's still some bugs there. Check the screen shot.

Problem in Visual Studio, the find window is missing it's lower border...

Actually, this is an issue with LOTS of palettes (sp?), especially in Adobe products. I really liked the style, had it all set up, then got to work only to find that all of the lower borders of my Illustrator palettes were cut off - couldn't work like THAT!! :no:

Besides this bug, I like it a lot...

I found that I can't figure out why my trillian turned out like it did. It's good now. Probably just the initial applying of the visual style. I really like it. I do think that the clock's glow is a little unusual or hard to read at times. Just something I've noticed, but I still like it a lot. It's my current VS.

I need you to explain wats goin on the the screny, i cant make out what you have a problem with. And I have a bad monitor that shows everything darker than it is so the gradient problem isnt visible for me

Sorry Alan, I thought the screenie might have been enough... :blush:

1. If you enlarge the screenie you'll notice that on the start menu... the "P" for "system Preferences" has a line running thru it... the underscore has gone askew

2. The gradient on the start menu... that "demarkation" line thru the middle of it... that type of "gloss shadow/highlight" might look great for a start button, etc... but for a start menu panel it looks rather odd... it looks like 2 completely different colors instead of being a "blend"

3. The FONTS... I run a monitor at 1400 x 1050 (19") 24 bit color (nvidia FX5600 256 meg), the fonts appear very very small. I have no problems with other VS's as the fonts "scale" themselves to the resolution of the monitor.

Sorry to be a pain :cry:

    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus?
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
