:( I was so exited to see what all the fuss was about. It took 21 minutes to download bant's .rar file over my slow as@ modem only to discover upon extracting that there was an "error in the application directory." No dice. Back to deviantART for a second try. ( I sure wish everyone would stick with the ubiquitous zip format. Probably wouldn't have saved me this time, just wishful thinking...)

Thanks Bant for a beautiful theme. I've only got two minor issues with Ashen (one goes for Reluna too). The first one I know there isn't anything to do about. It's the use of grey as Window background. It looks awesome but unfortuneatly, the good people at MS made Word use that color as background. I like my paper white, but can't have it now without messing up Ashen.

I'm glad someone finally mentioned this. Any skinner reading this, don't mess with the window background color, leave it white, it messes up far too many apps if you change it.

Now, after having tried Ashen for almost a week, I'm still loving it. I changed the window color to white and the only thing that bothers me slightly is the fact that the triangles used in folder trees come with a gray background. If it's not too much of a problem Bant, could you make an alternative where the arrow bg is white, or would that be too much of a deviation from the style's design concept? Hopefully it won't. :)

because i am an evil evil man that keeps all the real good stuff to myself. i have 198976123 other themes that you guys don't even know exist and they are all effing amazing compared to this crap ashen, or reluna, or whatever else ive released, i don't even remember the names they are so bad.

in reality. the mod is very likely to make it in the next update of the theme. unless something happens between then and now. what is happening between then and now? reluna is going to get some kind of update. very small. or is it? what if ive got 16 color schemes and an amazing new silver version...whoa.... im going to let that sit for a while and get a couple peoples hopes up, and then destroy their dreams with my triple bladed sword. yeah, and i will bash in your dreams with it, until they are dust in the wind, and then i will release a minor modification of bluetiful. ah crap i ruined it. but as you can see, all of that is going to take some time, so super hype everything in your warped little minds until then!

im grumpy tonight.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.

      Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.

      Does not make it more readable for me though. The majority of your screenshot is just pitch black.
