the show-all-programs menu arrow bug is known, is in lots of themes, and is a lose-lose sort of situation

This can be fixed easily by changing the content margins in values->general->startmenu->toolbar->button (stylebuilder)

for the text not shown just change its color in values->general->button->checkbox->checkeddisabled & in radiobutton->checkeddisabled

anyway this my favorite style till now!

Damn, gonna have to download this at home and use it instead of my modded version of WURP. Using now in Computer Tech, good job Bant. Only things I see so far I dislikse about it is how the all programs list in the start menu is too big (But I rarely use the start menu....less than once a day, so it's alright) and the close / minimize / maximize buttons are a tad too small for my taste. they look good, but I like them a bit larger. Nice work though, loving the colors.

thank you for the information. but i know. :p and you didn't read my reply about the start menu.

to repeat myself. clean up your ****ing menu and it won't look like that. spend 2 seconds organizing it and everything is fine. i won't be fixing it.

apparently there is a need to get offensive. otherwise you would have noticed my response to that bug and wouldnt have made me repeat myself.

i don't have pixelated icons in the taskbar or on the captionbar guys, can i get a screenshot please? and how many others are experiencing this? thanks.

the taskbar is as thin as it gets (unless you turned off Lock Toolbar, in which case you shouldn't be complaining about taskbar size)

the taskbar icons look fine to me, same with the top left window icons

dunno what you people are rambling about...

the ONLY comment so far that i would agree with is the widgets. they look so beautiful, but are a tad small. i wish they were a tad larger so i could see the detail that was obviously put into them... that's what i like most about bant's themes. his widgets are so damn gorgeous. they almost make the theme for me, if you think about it those are the most used buttons.

once again... SUPERB theme... i love anything and everything you make. Hail Zod.

youre just gonna have to put up with that.

The problem is that the colour it puts in there behind the text is the Window" colour in the VS. This is usually pure white, but some themes (like Ahsen, which I might say is totally sweet - Bant, youre a theme making machine! Excellent work!) use a different colour. Some programs just assume that this colour is always white, and so It doesnt specify a different specific colour to put behind there. Thus, your problem.

Unfortunately you wont be able to fix it without messing up the theme's... well... theme.

Well Technically we are not supposed to have themes to them are we :p So it would usually be standard WindowsXP visual.

    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
