So, the Longhorn Aero theme in XP isn't the same as the look in Longhorn! You can't create the perfect Aero threme for all!

For me the window must be White and we add transparency, taskbar must be white too, exept the start button in black

i want it like this

looks so sweet!

I love it !

For me the best Aero theme was (because project terminated?) the photoshop creation? by DigitalFreedom.

I think is the best !

This one

Yes, I agree. Everyone, check out that thread. DigitalFreedom has taken screenshots of Longhorn (beta) and Photoshopped them. The outcome is amazing, although quite simple. I hope the real Longhorn looks like this... with a more 3D feel and hardware acceleration, of course.

As for your ideas, Windows X, I prefer the black design, which is actually what I have my XP skinned as no:p:p. However, if I must choose, I would have to say the silver/black combo of the link above.

TheDreamX, I'm making those themes now. I think I'll call it Aero UI if everyone agrees. TaskBar and Captionbar are done. Buttons look damn nice as Jade taskbar but little different from Jade because I need to make 6 images for one pic.

I'm verry exited ! This theme is great!

hmm... that idea of a Day-Desktop would be great but if it could connect to weather.com and get the information about the weather outside, and then it would change the background when the sun position changes or when it starts to rain in a cloudy day... that will be fantastic...

lets say if longhorn backgrounds were a little like samurize... or rainmeter... :D

I think we can make it in Samurize or even active desktop. Make flash thingy for weather view and get weather data to display from web.

Here's what I've done so far. Changes are CaptionBar and Taskbar. The rest still be like latest Longhorn Aero from LTP6. If you have any other idea about this work, feel free to comments and post your suggestion. ;)

You say you are making these right now? That's great, but they have already been done. Just have a look. Now if you could make a theme that looked like that Photoshop-only project, that would be freakin' sweet!

I think a little addon in the theme should include the cursor (if any) and icons you have taken the screenshot with...

Ask permission off the creator ofcoarse, but I hate it when you download a VS... and you get your hopes up over a screenshot you've just seen...

Then, you install it, and the one thing that finishes off a desktop isn't there... the cool icons you saw in the screenshot.

Just my little recommendation to make the VS look even better :)

Lol. Looks funnily. :) Let me tell you what happened.

1. Corporel Clegg requested me to make black Aero theme. I said I'm making one and give my new Slate for better "Black" theme before I give him black Aero.

2. He used file I gave him to make that.

3. I finished this and post some pics in somewhere in this forum.

4. He requested me to give that theme (Current shot)

It'll be all right to make it because he didn't start that first.

Wait so Clegg copied a theme you were working on and packaged it before you? :angry: I'll get yours when it's ready and delete this one.

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.
    • Hello, Installed here without issue. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
