I finally finished the "enhanced" version of my 2250 VS. It would have been done earlier but I went on vacation and then had a big project due in school, so skinning got put on the backburner. Anyways, this upgrade should make everyone who had problems with the first VS happy. It also includes the "unenhanced" version of the theme, and the original is still available for dl as well.

Did you post thw wrong file? Mine looks like your old Business theme or whatever.

The start menu and tray look very different from the screenshot.

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't think there was another substyle in only 1.6 MB :)

EDIT2: You gonna make an msgina.dll for this? That would be cool.

I love your theme man, it looks real awesome, congrats

one minor niggle

and im not sure if this is a "feature" or not

on the radio buttons and check boxes, i've only noticed it on webpages with a dark background, because thats the only place i can see it, but behind those buttons, theres is a little square, this really does stand out on many webpages, such as www.nzgames.com/forums, you can see the boxes clearly here.

heres a screenshot:

can this be fixed?

cheers, and well done on a rad theme :D

tarzy

it could be fixed i suppose, I'd have to delete the solid background from the image, and then add a drop shadow.

the radio and tickboxes were basically taken from the actual business.mstheme from 2250, and resized and repositioned. I was lazy. :D

hurting: again, this is how it was in 2250. there is a 1 pixel transparency in every corner on the maximized titlebar. I don't know why, there just is, and I kept it there when I ported it.

y_notm,

Great job on the port! There is one thing that I think may be a bug in this VS, and many VSs that I've come across. Please note the image below. The Connect To menu has two separator lines between the ISP connection and "Show All Connections".

I have found this bug in many other VSs also. Can this be fixed?

Once again, wonderful job y_notm.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
