Windows Codename: Opus

Build 3.0

(30.07.04)

By Ross 'b0se' Harvey

About

CO is designed as an ergonomic replacement for the default Windows Classic theme. It was designed with long-term use and compatibility in mind.

Features

- 5 colours: Alpha, Blue, DeviantART, Green and introducing Dusk

- Normal & Compact start panel versions

- Classic and Coloured taskbar versions

- Matching wallpapers and shellstyles

- Yz Dock by Manyk

Latest Additions

- New colour: Dusk

Dusk uses the new buttons for the taskbar and toolbar also, making it a very soft variation. It was added for people who prefer non-grey themes. I must admit, I'm using it myself now!

- (All versions) Toolbar height has been reduced, and the 'Menu' text on the start button removed.

Modders...

Due to the age of this theme, modifications will not be granted permission for public release. Modifications for personal use are perfectly welcome.

Hope you enjoy the latest build, and comments are welcome!

Note: WindowBlinds version on the way...

Bose what are those icons called?

as to b0se's request: a darker taskbar and startmenu...i also fixed some coloring that i thought i was a really bad job on my part.

now we wait for b0se to fix some things that i couldn't do :pinch:

That looks awsome!!!!! I hope that we can get a compact start menu though :)

I will have to grade this VS as an... A+ ! :woot:

That's a hard grade to get from me.

I don't use about 99% of the styles posted for longer than an hour or less, before I decide there is something about them that I don't like.

Using the DeviantART color version with the colored taskbar. :cool:

Excellent work bOse ! :yes:

Thanks guys! :?)

Black one is looking nice, after the weekend I'll be doing some tweaking then will add it. I might replace the default Blue version, does anyone ever choose that over Alpha?

The reason I ask, is because the VS is 'full', I can't add anymore sub-styles...

Thanks guys! :?)

I use blue!

Remove green instead! :devil::

lol :?)

People tend to choose the DA variation before Green. I'll figure something out, I may release another whole style Codename : Opus Part2, which is the same, but with more colours (purple, grey, black, teal etc)...

Blue is safe, don't panic(Y))

Green must die. :devil::

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
