Excellent VS. This is a kind of VS that I can use for a long period of time without getting bored. Two small requests:

1. Make the default button more noticable. May be by a colored border?

2. Taskbar: the mouseover on the avtive task (with the white background) is very nice. May be it desserves to becomes more permanent? i.e. the background of the active task still remains white even when the mouse is out?

I have the screenshot ready to illustrate #2 but for some reasons, I can't not attache the GIF to this post. (the gif is only 6K).

consider changing hilight text to maybe something like 233 244 248 which will make menubar selected items and elsewhere easier to read than presently. Your current hilight text is somewhat "swallowed up" by the nice but very dark hilight (32 54 84) that you're using. For the life of me, I thought I already pointed this out once before in this thread. I'm losing it. :unsure:

I dont know if its a bug o what but check the screenshot, i see a white space next to the close X:

I think that's your desktop showing through the corner of the window titlebar, there's an angle there when a window is maximized.

Yes, Wirah, please fix the pixel thingy under the active button and this theme will be perfect!! :D

Hey guys!

I'm sorry for the late reply, I hadn't even noticed people had...

The theory I had for the bug didn't actually work, so I'm still thinking about it.

I'll try and get some more goodies for you guys, and maybe this can be Abyblue 2.0 :)

Stay tuned to this thread, and please, the more comments/suggestions/feedback the better!

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
