okay...if i put out an "option" for every little complaint and tweak people want the file is going to wind up being 50 megs. stylexp is free for 30 days that gives you plenty of time to import the theme and change the one setting you don't like and resave the theme. its idiot proof plus everything is right there and easy enough to change.

the issue with the radio buttons defintiely needs to be fixed...i'll ponder about that.

i'll work on the shellstyle.

the buttons...eh its not a terribly big deal bc its only affects a few and i like the bigger font on the buttons but again i'll play around with it.

the captions are the same size as they are in kde (this is a port remember). maybe i'll play around with the size and make it slightly smaller.

an issue with grouping windows in the taskbar and not being able to see the font defintiely needs to be fixed.

the windows button does indeed look crappy around the edges...that needs to be tweaked

otherwise this is pretty bug-free for a first release, eh?

finally i got around to finishing this....

one problem though...the shellstyle. it works sometimes...other times its not so friendly. i need some feedback and possibly somebody to do it for me.

(remember consider this alpha quality)

Not bad, but that start button is looking kind of haggard. Try recutting it out again, this time a bit more carefully.

This theme is definitely the best theme . I hope that you don't stop working on it. I don't want to reproach you with this sentence, but as you said in this thread before, there is something to do..;)

I've found another point - look at this pics

I would prefer the second screenshot, because the text is better to read and in other positions - like the taskbar - the highlighted text is white with a blue backgroundcolor..:cool:

      Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

      Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
