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:

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
