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:

    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
