Thanks for all the replies.

I have been trying out some different fonts for the start button. I think I found one that looks pretty good.

See attached image.

This one is called Square721 EX BT

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

The wallpaper I used is called "Aqua Matrix" By "georgelouis" Get the original at deviantart.

I just used Photoshop and desaturated the color.

i would rather see more stuff like this then all these mac ports i have nothing against them but there are just so many of them floating around! i think i'll add this to my collection! we need more original from scratch themes then mac ports :laugh:

Are you using windows xp or windows 2003 server? Cos' that file is a msstyle file which runs on the 2 Oses and need either stylexp to run (don't use it) or the uxtheme.dll patch.

More info on how to use:

I am using Windows XP... thanks for the help! My desktop is finally looking different! :D I am haing one problem though -- My icons appear in 256 colors after I used TweakUI to 'Rebuild Icons'. How can I restore them to their former state? I am currently using 800x600x16bit. When I use 24bit, the icons appear in full color.

Thanks again for the help!

How is this original? It's just another Luna mod..:huh:

I've always wished it comes out in Black :woot: Downloading now :D

I second that! :D

And nothing wrong with Luna remakes if they're well made and polished. :)

Both a slimmed down *and* black version. Yay! :)

How is this original?  It's just another Luna mod..:huh:

You know, I could say this about many Aqua mods too. ;)

Wow. You rock! I am really liking the new start-menu. Just a thought, I don't remember ever seening a white Luna mod. Just I thought if you wanted to add more colors.

Thanks man!

AND what are you doing to the start button that font is so not it. Change it back to the orginal windows xp font or add a bit of longhorn to the start button.

There is still the problem with the maximise button, when the button cannot be used it is not there. Just open calulator you will see the maximise button missing. This is in the blue visual style

I agree, that font just doesn?t look right. Same for the caption buttons, I will change them both in the next release.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
