Inevitable bug here. The Verdana font for buttons, no matter how well it fits with the theme, should be changed to the normal Tahoma because of things like this:

That's a screenshot of FileZilla's Site Manager, and the Save and Exit button text is cut off because the font is too large. This is only one example, the text cutoffs occur frequently in many applications.

Very well done...i might recommend a minor color difference in chevrons (taskbar chevron really could use lighter color) and maybe move the kde start button over to left and add a mouse over highlite...

Thanks for the great attention to details...this theme really is a keeper :-)

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!

since the very beginning we've been well away of that bug, and personally i can deal with the text being cut off a little bit in return for having the verdana font on the buttons but a lot of people can't so what i've been experimenting with is using the different "font size" options in the display properties to have it be a choice.

ahh :blush: sorry that looks horrible!! i'm sure i'll be able to atleast make the gradient work..

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
