I would love to use this all the time, the only thing stoping me is the font. It's too small I'm having trouble reading it especially the when it's bold. 

Maybe a solution: delete the font from your system. I did this and the theme is perfect now. Not that I disliked the font, it looks nice. But on my non-ClearType-CRT it is just too small. 

Another, as well as a simpler soloution would be to just choose "Large Fonts"

in "Display Properties->Apperance" The font will change from Swis at 7pts.

to Verdana at 8pts. "Extra Large Fonts" is Verdana at 9pts. Of course if you have

a problem with Verdana as well then you're just plain screwed :cry:

Thanks. I still want to do it, but this is turning out to be more of a challenge than I had thought. I've made a few simple prompts before, but the quality of this vs is hard to replicate. I'll keep trying though unless someone who is more experienced with graphics wants to take a shot at it. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

Yeah, ther're really fun arn't they. Ther're easy to make, a background a flag and

two sets of buttons. But It's the constant going back and forth in safe mode to check

the work that drives me absoloutly bonkers. The only ones I ever made I still use

(link) I would make others but I find that they go pretty well (not perfectly) with all my themes to

date. If somebody could come up with a program to change these things out

without haveing to go in safe mode I'd crank 'em out like Ritz crackers :yes:

I did try the large font setting. I can't put my finger on it. it just didn't look right to me.

Anyway thanks nitschi_austria that's one of those simple thing's I would have never thought of trying. (Y)

Well, if you don't like Verdana either I don't know what to tell you considering

it's one of the most widely used fonts on the web today. You could always

disect the style in StyleBuilder and choose your own font. Sorry, I can't please

everybody :(

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
