Suicide, I am trying to fix the bugs. I think I remember that you wanted the fonts fixed, and that is the next thing on my list before I will try to release.

I IMed contra when I first restarted work and asked him if he was still working on PlastikXP.

His response: "no, not at all". So I think i'm the one mainly working on the theme now, although anyone is welcome to help, and anyone who has posted feedback here already has :).

As for the links being down... a couple people have asked about that. They seem to be and should still be up. I guess just try again, and if that doesn't work I don't know.

And about the WinRAR bug... is anyone still experiencing it? I downloaded the WinRAR trial today and found that dialogue, but it looked fine to me. Can someone verify this bug and tell me how to reproduce it?

And I was thinking about the green/teal styles... I personally don't use either, but even if I did they are so similar it seems silly to have them both. What does everyone else think?

I wouldn't miss it.

I think you should move this discussion to Works In Progress, might get more participation there.

About that start button, the one COrwin made looks blurry. I'm not saying use mine, but if that one is going to be final it should be sharper than that?

Anyway, thanks for all your work on this theme.

Whoops, just noticed that my link to the WIP topic highlights the term "plastikxp", probably because I had to do a search for the topic. I can't edit my previous post, so This Link should be the same one without the highlighting.

Here's the latest version of this theme, with some bugfixes and a new startbutton by Thresher:

This theme is open-sourced, so feel free to continue the work on it from where Thresher left off. :D

The link isn't down, try again, I'll mail it to you if you still can't get it. But it would be good if someone with a Deviantart account would mirror it there so that it definitely won't go down. Just give credit to Contra and Thresher and make sure it's clear that it's open-sourced if you do.

Screenshots are in the "work in progress" thread.

There are seven color variations, but black has a bug with one of the taskbar buttons.

Contra's original (buggy) version contains the shellstyles and fonts (Vera):

Hello Suicide. I'd like to see this completely fixed too. I'm just wondering what bugs are left in this theme. I'm not saying they're not there--I'm almost positive there are some left--just wanting to get some specifics on what needs doing.

And to all the people who are having problems with dling this theme, I'll try to get Contra to put the most recent version on DeviantArt once everyone seems satisfied with it. In the meantime if you can't download it from the link to my site (which I think has been posted several times), just email me and I'd be happy to send it to you.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
