eh but the bubble thing was part of the aero glass theme. Its done that way to match the caption bar and the task bar. Its how it was done in the aero video. Im pretty sure this is being done as a replica of the video so that would fit in. But it is his theme so whatever he wants to do is what goes. But i like the aero glass thing goin on in the common task thing. Maybe he will make an alternate version of it for the final...

here's Illusion456 with my setup :) notice all the nice longhorn folders (shell32.dll hack by me)

only things i dont like, taskbar too big (thinner version needed) if you resize the active titlebar (where it says my computer in the middle) and make the text smaller/bigger, the mix/max butons get distorted

I might make a thinner taskbar version later, for now though I was just going to match the "aero" files found in 4074, and it is the same size as slate as well. Making it any smaller would make it not even with the full size start button unless you resized it as well. The problem with the caption bar, does it just happen with the black caption buttons? I'm not quite sure what do you mean by resizing the active title bar and making the text smaller.. but keep in mind the only way to do those black buttons is to draw them on the caption bar itself otherwise you'll get nasty spaces between them, so that is bound to cause some problems along the way so thats why there are the normal buttons. I'll see if I can fix the problem though if you can tell me how to recreate it.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.

      Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.

      Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.

      Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
