comment: don't like the JAP and I agree with Opio plus makes it confusing for some ppl. also some scroll bars are all white making it hard to scroll up and down. for example when chaging wallpapers that scroll bar is all white. whats up with that? if this gets fixed i'll be using it till all the brightness gets on my nervous.

Nice work, though I find myself judging it differently given the name. As others have stated, "JAP" is a less than ideal combination to use for the caption buttons. The compact start panel could use some reworking as it's not much use without a way to access programs. Not sure if they are supposed to be this way, but the scrollbars are way too think to be usable.

Visually, it's stunning. The browns work well and are somewhat typical of Japan in terms of earth colors; however, color is an important aspect of design in Japan and as such I'd expect to see some deep reds or green/blues here and there.

oh, no, i love the jap. totally original. i love the compact too. always better to be compact. i was saying that most compact pick the left half of the start menu to keep, and the right half to hide. and you did it the other way around. is that an option that i missed?

well maybe u didnt notice it but i added 2 versions of the userpane and 2 different kinds of caption buttons to get along with ppl who dont like the jap buttons and the compact pane

I don't think you understand. Alternative version or not, using a word with that association is nothing short of offensive.

huh?? whats offensive about what he did?

To most, the word "Jap" is just as offensive as the word "Jew" ... or even "<< racial epithet >>" to describe people from Latin-America and "<< racial epithet >>" to describe African Americans.

Did you never learn about WWII in high school? :blink::

Heck, I'm not even Japanese and the word offended me, just as any other racist word should offend someone. You might not be offended by it and that's fine, but it does offend others.

EDIT: I suggest you read this article - http://modelminority.com/printout292.html

If you people find it so offensive stop whining and don't use the theme, it's as simple as that.

It's not that we find it offense, but the fact that other people who see this theme will find it offensive. Also it's not good for Neowin if people promote the use of racist terms in their XP styles, ne?

And yes, we know he's truly not promoting the racist terms, but it may seem that way for some people.

On-topic: I love the colours of this theme. It's sleek and easy on the eys. Nice job! :up:

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
