I don't get it - Page 1 says that the themes come in both Compact and Normal Start menu (except Whistler - can't wait!), but they don't appear to be available for me. The previous version (maybe not the most recent) worked fine, so I don't think it's my machine... I've got Blue, Dotted, Green, and Red, the Mono versions of each (which just changes the color a bit), then Whistler. Am I missing something???

Fugacious added "!! Only Mini Startpanel at the moment !!" on the 1st page of this thread, so there's no full-sized start panels in v2 at this moment in time.

Actually, the first post read:

Blue, Green, Red and Dotted substyles

in two Colorvariations.

New special substyle: codename Whistler

!! Only Mini Startpanel at the moment !!

So you can see why one might think, such as myself, that the mini startpanel might only be in relation to the Whistler theme. Just so know one thinks I didn't read the post. :happy:

I love Hmmxp, use it longer then other styles.

But I've a problem with the last update (version 2), I'm missing the grey color style and there all in compact mode not the full mode :wacko:

Is this only with me or are there other persons here with this problem?

I have the same problem with the "all programs" in my german XP.

A probable fix for this (I think) would be the removal of the "icon" in front of the text. If I knew how to do that with Style Builder without messing up the whole VS I'd do it by myself. But I'm still hoping that Fugacious or anybody else could fix that for everybody who has that problem :rolleyes:

First of all, I love this VS. It's super clean, easy to use, and attracts just the right amount of eyeballs here at work. :happy:

There is only one bug that I've run into. It's not bad, not even really annoying, but a bug, nonetheless.

I have my Quick Launch icons set to large. Note the split highlight.

Overall, really nice work on this! It's one of my faves.

I love HmmXP - Mono Dotted but there is one serios problem on the titlebar with 120 DPI fonts (125% normal size)

Some visual styles like Slate XP and most "Longhorn Aero" based skins display the title bar buttons correctly so it must be possible to display this correctly somehow :cry:

*Edit: Nevermind about the magic pink thing... It was just a mistake in the optimization, which changed the color slightly. So yay, nice theme.

Since I got this theme, I've been making some mods to it. Like 1px borders (which required some tweaking of your default graphics and margins), and the latest thing I tried to do was to optimize the theme by indexing all the bitmaps. That didn't work out too well, as you can see... I'm gonna go back through Gimp and see if anything is amiss with the colors, but I find it strange that the magic pink on the caption bars was affected, but not any other instance of magic pink appears non-transparent... So...

Bugs I've seen so far: Control Panel. I guess I'll fix that on my own eventually.

Say, would you mind sending me a copy of the theme with just the watercolor style (no blue/green/red/mono)? I've been trying to mod it, and have to admit, the 1000+ files that I'm working with are a bit unwieldly. I tried deleting them myself, but with the tools I have, it could take a very long time. I'm guessing you might have a faster way to do it (and know how to do it safely for that matter). You can PM me for an address to send it to. I'd also be willing to transfer to you the modified bitmaps and *.ini files which make this 1px border mod work, along with all the optimized graphics (if I can solve the magic pink problem).

Here's what it looks like with 1px borders... All the graphics have been indexed, so the filesize is smaller and the images do not contain any irrelevant information.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
