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.

      This is not surprising of course and I stopped using Chrome years ago.

      I switched to AdGuard for this very reason. All my uBlock filters and user scripts ported over with no issues.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By LittleNeutrino · Posted

      This is a hot take, but I only use "New" Outlook for 1 reason, the "My Day" side bar that shows your tasks and Calendar on "New" Outlook allows you to view shared calendars and not just your personal calendar. On "Classic" Outlook it only allows your personal Calendar. For my job, we have a group shared Calendar that shows appointments and scheduled tasks for the team and we don't really use our personal calendars.  
    • Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker by Taras Buria FIFA World Cup 2026 is kicking off in the United States later this week, and Opera, a popular cross-platform browser, is making it easier to track matches on mobile. Today, Opera announced a redesigned home page for its Android browser. The new home page is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Users can now customize Speed Dial icons (round, square, or squircle), enjoy a new weather widget with real-time conditions, and open AI Mode or a private session with a single tap. Additionally, the browser now has a built-in football tracker, allowing you to follow your favorite team without using dedicated apps. The tracker displays live scores, notifications, and statistics in a dedicated football hub. You can also check out line-ups, match events, and more. Opera surveyed its users, and 38% of responders said they plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a browser. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 19, 2026. "By providing football fans with instant access to live scores alongside a more considered design, we’re ensuring they are never more than a tap away from the action, even when they can't watch live," said Tim Lesnik, Product Manager at Opera Mobile. For Opera users in the United States, Opera runs a contest, offering them a chance to win tickets to a match in Miami in July, Android smartphones, PlayStation 5 consoles, smart TVs, and Amazon Vouchers. Users can participate by posting on social media with the #OperaFandom hashtag from June 12 or by signing up on the official Opera website. Opera will announce winners on July 3. You can download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store using this link.
