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.

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.

Found some mock-ups but nothing that says "this is it" or anything...

Ok here's one of those "this is it" screenshots...

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.

    • AMD 9070XT

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
