Sooo I'm back from a week vacation to Barcelona, Spain and it's still not released. Why don't we just call it a day and forget this vs?

are people incapable of waiting? he's clearly busy with other stuff as well, so how about being patient for a change? things take time to be done

he's saying for more than a week now that he'll be releasing his theme "later this evening", and that his theme is ready for a beta release. So maybe you should know more about the history of this thread.

:laugh: lol I totally agree...

if you can't wait anyway, why don't you go and make it yourself? even if it is "vaporware" you don't know it for a fact, having to put up with all of us is probably not helping

yeah, we don't know if it exsists, but to give up hope if to give up on life.... (err has nothing to do with this but oh well :p off topic)

besides, why are you here if you don't think it's real? there's no point in staying

i'd rather have something that's made perfect for the amount of time it took instead of having something rushed and semi-finished

I agree on that too... I find no point in getting somethings that's cheap. It like going to the store. Would you rather pay more for something that'll last, or get something cheap that breaks and you have to keep buying.

Even though we aren't buying this ($$$) it's still roughly the same thing.

in this situation it'd be more considering the bugs. if you do it in a rush, there's more change of more bugs. if you do it slow and take the time, it'll end up wifh a better and more efficient finished product instead of something with however many bugs to be fixed

The point is, if you arent going to release it, say you arent instead of constantly making new dates and not saying anything for a week. The same thing happened with Watercolor and everyone thought it was vaporware but it ended up being one of the best themes when it finally came out. It's just better not to be a jackass and leave people hanging. It makes it look like he just wants the attention and people begging for it to boost his ego.

I know DigitalFreedom very well and he is a very busy guy. Lay off him, we are both working on AeroBrowser and other work related things. If he can't make the deadline then he can't. Just wait, when he can, he will release it. I know that he has done alot of work on it and on aerobrowser so give him a chance.

we already have 2 or 3 deadlines. 1. later this week, 2. this evening, 3. in 4 hours.

the theme is great, but the behaviour sucks. say yes or say no, but not yes for several times and then virtually die for a week or another. but like I said, at some point, it doesn't matter anymore. we are all humans, and humanity is heavily marked by it's impatience.

why say he'll release it later this evening if he wasn't ready to release it? :unsure: I agree he may be busy and his life doesn't revolve around making a few people on the net happy by releasing a great looking vs, but he simply could have said "it'll be ready when it's ready" instead of "I'll release it this evening" :rolleyes:

yup :D

Just stop saying that it will be released on a certain day if you're not sure that you can. And let be honest the whole start of this thread was vague, with all those transparant parts and stuff. After a week or so we found out via an other thread what the real theme looked like (I did at least).

But I'll stop with what some of you call bitching, and I'll just wait until it's ready.

One note to the autor of this theme: Give a release date if you're 99% sure that you can make it that day.

And it's still a kick-ass theme! :woot:

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

      It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • USB Port Optimization for best locations for devices

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
