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!

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
