Another minor thing. There seems to be extra white space at the beginning and end of the task bar items. I know I mentioned this long ago in the Watercolor thread and Binary was able to fix it in Watercolor. Also, I think the task bar would look much nicer without the silver gradient in the background. The offical Plastik theme just has a solid white background. Another thing I noticed is that the menus for the non-default color scheme are a darker grey, would it be possible for them to be all the same color? Thanks! I've just been using this theme so long that I've noticed these little things! :happy:

Very nice and usable VS, excellent colors and clear large font!

I personally use a large taskbar and when I have many windows open, they don't tile correctly in the taskbar but only one row is visible and I have to scroll to see all the other windows even there's room for another row... see what I mean in the attached screetshot... is there anything that can be done to fix this glitch?

Very, very good job though!

Cheers!

Contra, is there any chance to see this bug fixed... long time has passed and no update about it!

Thanks again!

I am new to Visual Themes. Do I need to install the Fonts provided? I have tried it without and it seems to work OK.

First of all, great theme!

You don't actually need to install the fonts to get the skin working but it would be better to install them if you don't have the fonts in your system in the first place. As this will most likely gurantee you that you will be seeing the Visual Theme as how the author want it to be.

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
