i just want to say i have pulled the real LH theme files from 4051 , 4053, and 4074, and they do not... repeat DO NOT work in windows XP. i am not a professor or a professional w/e person. but i have done this through Virtual PC and copied well transfered the files to my own HD and thinking it would work and no it does not... so for those people who have been staying they are fake. yes they are. a reason why the real lh theme files wont work cuz xp and longhorn are different versions. thank you for ur time reading this and thx for fake themes. oh and one more thing that will back me up is i am using the patched uxtheme.dll.

WindowsX, I don't know how you can do this! lou_dude888 is distributing a package of your work. He didn't even ask permission to do it! I can maybe understand no legal actions since this work is mostly from MS. But respect must be given for unofficial work, and therefore credits are due. Trying to give him respect when he doesn't respect you back is crazy! :cry:

People, why so nasty to Lou? This person obviously really thought these were authentic Longhorn themes, and didn't claim to have created them himself, so why the cruelty?

Sure, Lou's acting a bit stubborn on the issue, but you don't all have to be jerks about it. Show this person a little decency, as Lou's obviously been misled as to where the themes came from.

hahah. everyone on that forum loves him. and he's playing the victim, saying how cruel we are here.

and windows x, thanks for putting out such quality work. keep it up!

Well, Lou might have been mistaken, but the majority of posts on here aren't exactly courteous, immature is more accurate. As Cerebral said, props to Windows X for being the gentleman.

Cerebral: We're not intentionally trying to be rude/mean/nasty to Lou. If he genuinely believed they were authentic Longhorn themes, that is okay. But preaching on and on about how they are authentic and his Innovative award this and that really doesn't cut it. Especially when there is substantial evidence or facts disproving his claim. If he keeps sending false information, there will be hundreds of misled and misinformed sheep running amok. That is not what we want. Lou also has to realize people make mistakes! It's human nature. But going to another forum and bitching about how Neowin people are ###### especially when he is incorrect doesn't help anyone.

Just trying to clarify the situation, not trying to start wars.

Over on Aqua-Soft (that "other forum"), we've already clarified and settled the matter. No insults or mocking was necessary.

Sorry. I just talked to him. Dr. K had Jim remove Longhorn from his computer, to use on another, and so since then, Jimmy has emulated Longhorn, using these themes. Honest to God. My appologies to go Neowin, Aqua-Soft, and personally Windows X.

Again I appologize.

Yaaa.... Lou, he's just 15 years old (Although I'm 17 :D) But he didn't do something too bad at all.It's just misunderstanding. I think it would be OK if he accepted in it. But he didn't, still dumb and never know about Longhorn at all. However, he believed in my works with faith that makes he blinds from the truth. This guy is poor that he has been cheated by his friend about lying. But it's too late to open his eyes.....

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
