Hombre you will need to enable your Windows XP display picture before the windows flag on the start menu will be visible. Right now your name is covering it.

I can't speak for Hombre, but I have the same issue with the start panel. However, I'm on a domain and don't have the option of enabling a user picture. Is there some other trick to get the name text to move over? Or am I missing something obvious? It's a small bug and won't keep me from using this VS, that's for sure.

i'm glad so many are enjoying this. there will be a few bug fixes and that startpanel flag will be moved (not removed, i like it too much) in the next release. i will also be slimming down the the msstyle and the rar file (removing the walls and packaging them seperately), as well as doing a little font tweaking. no eta on the update, i'm in the middle of a busy week, so it might not show up until the middle of next week. either way, the bugs arent too distracting, so there shouldnt be any problems with use in the mean time ;)

in reply to the fellow themers looking at the guts of the theme, go for it guys, i hope you find something useful. i really don't feel that i've raised the bar in terms of what can be done in msstyles, though i am constantly trying to at least reach it.

in regards to what bugs are known:

the show-all-programs menu arrow bug is known, is in lots of themes, and is a lose-lose sort of situation, if we don't have that bug, we have another bug with the menu and it's just as distracting. what can be done to fix it on your end? clean up your menu, organize it so that it doesnt expand to more than 1 column. it's sort of punishment for being unorganized, you see?

there is a known bug in foobar, that i'm not sure i will be fixing (as, i think it's mostly foobar's fault...lol... leave it to me to blame everybody else)

there are a couple more that have already been fixed and will be included with the other bug fixes listed and found before i release an update.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

    • iOS 27 & Apple Intelligence. Many iPhones become obsolete, right?

      By kiddingguy · Posted

      And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣

      It's nuts looking back at older iOS compared to now, how much customisation and options there are now So much better than before - focussing on good default options is more worthwhile than just removing options altogether
