Well if that was supposed to be a flame then you're even more of a dumbass than you've already made yourself out to be.  You came into this thread running your mouth saying how you deserved credit for buttons that you had nothing to do with at all, and now that I've proven you to be a complete joke you try to say you were just being sarcastic.  And I'm the one that needs to grow up? LOL.  Since you're obviously some 13 year old kid, I'll spare you this time.  This thread has nothing to do with you or your little cheap photoshopped theme, so go run back to that one and stop flooding this one with your stupidity.  This is a post where I posted a Longhorn VS that I wanted to share with everyone here while I try to perfect it, not a post for you to come to try to start a theme war with an 80% photoshopped theme.  What, was the wallpaper the 20% that wasnt photoshopped? LOL.  This one is the real deal so go ahead and get over it kid.  And no, I don't need any of your "glass aero" images as I'm trying to keep this theme professional and halfway decent looking.  :)

funny enf, that wasn't a flame, again read the whole post, you notice how each time i say keeep working in the theme and good job, but since you've been such a f*cker, I'll prove my theme is real, after I get home from WORK I will release what I have done! just to prove how much you were f*cking worng about my "fake 8yr photoshop job" the only person I have ever flamed is MxxCon, and thats because he was an ass,seems like your an ass too, even when I try to be nice to you. maybe you did't read the whole post, who knows but just for the record, i am not 13yrs old, a 13yr would "tak like dis lik @n @0LeR! lol wtf?" so get off your high horse as your the only one who thinks its fake, hell its real, and it might be still a bit buggy tonite when I release it buy hell i don't care! Its ready for a release, everythings theme'd,and weather or not people will like it, i donno, oh, and heres a screen shot of it running on my desktop. Now, I gotta goto work now, but once I get home, there will be a new theme on the home front :) for the neowinians

Now on a serous note, Please, i don't want to flame you, its just that you kept saying my theme doesn't exist, please let it end here, please I do not like flame wars unless its with Chris123nt (he knows what i'm talking about :p :) ) or MxxCon (simply because I hate him), so please end it here, btw if you want me to remove the image, just pm and I will.

Well, we are in "Customizing XP" but I hardly believe this is a XP Style. I think it is an edited theme for Longhorn. Right? So I ask the same question as the guys above... for XP or LH?

Acctually, the lh theme looks more like the "photoshoped" screenshot. because of aa's excellent work on trying to get glass to work, i'm his themer for the "something special" pack that he will release someday , check it out at www.<< spam >> for the progress the ss above is of xp on windowsblinds, but just for the record I am doing BOTH, windows blinds AND the Visual Style engine, also I ask for a mod to split the asking about my theme to a seprate thread, and re merged with the there about mine already open, and btw, I am not home, I am on my Lunch break right now, so later on tonite i will be releaseing the first beta only because "somebody" thinks its fake.....

So it is more or less this way round: In the photoshopped screenshot you showed what you intend to bring to Windows XP and in the later screenshots you showed what you already have? Well, this theme seems to come for Windows XP, but I still haven't got why there is always a Longhorn build shown in the lower right corner... Anyway, eagerly waiting for the beta!

Actually I never really was arguing the fact or care in the least little bit if the theme was real or not, my whole point about it being photoshopped was just the fact that you used a photoshopped picture that looked a lot better than the real picture and made a lot of people think thats it was real and would really look like that. My argument with you was about the fact that you came in here running your mouth about wanting credit for buttons that you yourself took from a microsoft mockup in an attempt to make it look like I was a graphic theif. The bottom line is anything in my theme that didn't come from microsoft itself and the logo in the start menu, I made completely from scratch, period. I agree though, the flaming needs to stop. It was fun, but I'm more of a hand you a fresh ass-whoopin in person kinda guy rather than throw insults behind a computer like little school girls, so I apologize for the flaming and it will end here :yes:

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series.
