Ok, so most of these look like font gliches. I did re-add tahoma as an alternative font. Set it to "Large Fonts" to switch to Tahoma. It would be nice to have it actually say Tahoma, but I've never sat down and figured out how to do that. Anyway, I think this should fix most (all?) of the problems you posted, save maybe the last one. I still like tahoma even if some button text gets cropped, but maybe I should have it set to Tahoma by default? Hope that helps, and as always suggestions are welcome.

Oh ya, and thanks Suicide for the quick response :).

Other bugs:

1. Extra large fonts setting is missing a bitmap for the close button and uses the Verdana font, which causes font bugs:

2. This might be just a Firefox bug, scroll-list buttons look like they're cutoff on three sides:

3. In the black style, which I don't know if anyone actually uses, the unselected window's min/max button has a single pixel border on the inside:

4. One thing I really would like fixed is to move the tasktray icons down so they don't come so close to the top edge of the tray:

The startbutton looks like it's coming off the top edge too.

Requests:

1. Make quick launch text on the taskbar black for all styles:

I'm gonna start jumping people's cases if they don't use www.imageshack.us alternatively for screenshot posting. I have seen quite a few broken links and 404 errors browsing these forums, and this day and age, screenshots should not be broken or 404ed! :angry:

About the skin: no comment

I can't see it due to frackin 404.

Is it that hard to visit deviantart.com and see the image there? http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8066296/

The original post is nearly a year old, lots of thing could have happened to the pics from then.

Is the tray icon bug fixed? Does the tray look like what you have in the screenshot or is that an applet of somekind?

I use the Plastik and Slate colors if that helps you decide on which colors to fix. :D

Btw, Deviantart.com is the best place to host this.

Anyway, nice work.

Tray icons fixed, i hope :)

(That's the gant volume icons there, no apllet or smth)

Small list of changes:

-Tray "buttons" -a lot thinner

-Fonts, most of them

-Captions, smaller too

-Start Button

-Shellstyle (some style i had lying around, don't like it, kill it)

I'd like to make the scrollbars thinner too, but when i do that, the stripes on them dissapear (i'm no stylebuilder expert). Some help maybe ?

At least now it's a perfectly usable theme... :p

I'll post it on deviantart when it's done.

Thanks for the positive relpys...

Cheers

all substyles done

no more bold

that's it

my work is done

enjoy

would be nice to make a beige instead of grey plastik...

maybe i'll tinker some more, maybe not...

i'm not gonna post it on deviantart for now, so could someone host it ? (escaflo again? )

mail me

cheers...

:whistle:

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
