Do you guys remember Longhorn misunderstanding?


Recommended Posts

Since lou_dude88 has posted in https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=166144 I wonder why ppl get so excited so much and posted something like "awesome theme!" or something. I released them before but didn't have great feedback as posts in here. Is it because they don't know those're my works? My friend told me I have bad reputation. I wonder why. It seems like I have many foes in here like scabo2 or someone like him. Even my old friend, Cin|Ful, he lost respect from me from something I don't know. I know I suppose not to post something like this but I curiously want to know before I leave.

Well don't mean to rub it in but since you asked ....

Whenever someone makes a Longhorn-esque theme, you always seem to create some sort of arguement in the creators thread.

E.g. "You ripped graphics from my Longhorn Msstyles" or "That looks simlar to my Msstyles", or something to that extent.

When also the member has proved that they have no ripped your Msstyle.

^ That's the type of reputation which doesn't go well here.

Radish?

maybe it was that crap between you and flyakite. but good work nonetheless.

flyakite? I can't think how I could have problems with him. All I remember is I asked him to make installer for him, he appreciated but he'll make his own for some reason, I tried to ask him more for his reason, he replied with acceptable answer. That's all.

erm, everyone here likes ur work

I generally don't. I like things like Nano and Longhorn Inspiriat, styles that try new things and do it well. WindowsXalways seemed to me like he wanted to be the first to get every type of longhorn theme out and then got angry if someone else wanted to do a version too.

Only one person I really have a deal with is ANDYLOGO. He used to rip it from my work and many clues can prove it. The rest? I never say anything like accusing or flaming for rip at all. I remember only two person. Ortega, I saw my shellstyle over his first shot so I assumed he may use my Slate to mod. I gave him a compliment like great mod from my work. Little tuneup would be perfect alternate Slate. It seems like Ortega didn't have any problem with it but some members were trying to pick this up and knock me! Corporel Clegg, I just want to say he used my new Slate to mod but all that happened is same as Ortega's case. Problems I'm facing is not ripping between I and author but pretending "RIP" from members! They acted like I'm accusing the author about ripping my work but the truth is I never even think of it except ANDYLOGO's case. They're many guys who want to get me down from here. I'm tired and so bored of it.

You're wrong, Raum. I'm not like you're thinking at all. If you believe that's real, show me your proof. You shouldn't prejudge from what you haven't seen.

I love your themes, as I love most of the themes created here on neowin. Everyone has real talent here, I only wish I could release something that looked as good as most of this stuff.

Since this seems to be an emotional thread, I'd like to apologize for ressurecting an old thread a few days ago :( I used the search function and wasn't checking dates.. BUT ANYWAY back to the point, your themes rock, keep them coming ;)

Edit: Windows X has helped me with every question I PMed to him. He's a very helpful and understanding person.

You're wrong, Raum. I'm not like you're thinking at all. If you believe that's real, show me your proof. You shouldn't prejudge from what you haven't seen.

??? I was telling you the impression ou give me, my opinion of you, I don't need proof for that, just like how I don't need to prove to you that pepperonni pizza is better than mushroom pizza. I'm not prejudging from what I haven't seen, I'm judging from what I have seen. I judged the way you theme, I never judged you as a person, so 1. I am judging your theming from what I have seen and 2. No need to get so defensive.

You said I really want to be first in everything about Longhorn and will get angry if someone make a version too. I don't like your post. Straightly, I'll get angry with only posts like this. So I need proof how could you think of something like this.

god shut up who cares.  you can't have everyone like you all the time and threads like this make you look like a self important whiner which doesn't help your case at all.

Didn't want to sound rude but I prettymuch agree. This is a computer customization forum, not therapy corner.

X, I thought I made it clear. I'm not gonna go on a scavenger hunt for proof for you because I just don't care either way. I didn't post to convinceanyone of anything, just to share my opinion.

This is horrible. In the time that I have been visiting Neowin.net I have noticed one thing about you WindowsX. I do like some of your work, however, no matter where you go/post, there always seems to be a big "issue" surrounding you. Either you are mad, or someone is mad at you for whatever stupid reason. You threaten to leave all the time and always claim that you are going to "take breaks" because your work is not appreciated. Maybe the reason you get so much negative feedback is because it seems like you make a new post daily saying that "look at this, i was toying around, tell me what you think." In such screenshots that you post, there is very little change in any of the work displayed. After some time, I can see how this would easily become annoying to some. So..... if you are going to continue to post your work, make some changes and be slightly more original in your designs. Thats my take on it.

** Also, stop being such a cry baby

WindowsX I just think you think far too much of yourself, really just because you make some Longhorn inspired themes doesn't make you the be all and end all. Seriously, get over your self.

edit: And those little girls you have on your desktop freak me out - even if they are a form of art they really do resemble 12 year old girls :x

I know but I have a bit too much flames in short period. And that makes ppl who used to believe me lost their trust. I'll ignore it as usual if anything is all right but it isn't.

Hahah.

That's why I need to talk. You think I want to own everything about Longhorn and that's not true. I'm always facing crisis when I want to post something in Longhorn thread. Though it's just a normal post but someone may dig it up for flame like past. I'll get depress if I want to say something about Longhorn theme because I'm afraid of post after me maybe flame. It used to be like this for ages and I think I can't hold it any longer.

For anime sitter, search in google with love hina window sitter and get it.

WindowsX you can own Longhorn, as I'm sure it'll be the same sh!t microsoft has been pumping out since 1985. If you're feeling depressed about the comments on this board either take it on the chin and continue to make your themes or take a break, but making threads like this is lame. Think of the bigger picture though, peoples comments on this board mean JACK ALL, just ignore them if they pee you off.

I've been reading these forums for ages but only recently signed up. I appreciate the talents of all the artists/programmers/ etc that frequent these boards, but I have to say to WindowsX : Dude, I see the talents you have but for the love of god, leave the 16yo teen angst, the world is out to get me crap at home and do what you do best.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
