this is just getting to be a pain in the ass, sorry everyone for the inconvience. I signed up for xptheme.info a nice lil site but the confirmation email they sent me takes me too some crap, they must be having server problems.

And themeXP well there just pathetic.

So conundrum if youll be so kind to host them ill get the file to you tomorrow, I still want to fix the desktop upa little but for the first release providing it fits in the zip the desktop will only ship with a 1280 resolution.

Anyway Ive changed the ShellStyle, made it more fuller I guess you could say. And worked on a cpl more things on the theme.

Anyone know of any free hosts that allow zip uploads / downloads?

wow thats a really phat theme!!! but uh... i think that you should do something with the taskbar. to me it seems to plain... maybe add some lines or something, or some color variation.., :) lol. but i do like how the box around the selected window in the taskbar is.

keep up the good work

I went to take a look at that xptheme.info site, looks like it is probably just someone running a site off their own machine or something, as they are using DNS2GO for URL redirection. No wonder you had problems. :s

As for themexp.org, I've always had good luck with them and generally like the site, sorry you've had such problems with them. You never can tell I guess... :ermm:

Anyways I think the visual style is awesome, at the very least in looks, and I can't wait to try it out. Hope you can get everything resolved and keep up the good work!

well thanks for your comments just to adress them

The taskbar will remain how it is, It goes well with the desktop and too many colors tend to make things look terrible.

THemeXP is fine but I have already signed up way back when I was making Longhorn themes. Anyway I dont have the email with my password /login in it and they dont have a forgot your password option?

so I cant get back in there unless i make a new email account which im not going too.

Bu thankfully Sunny44, I hope thats your nickname. Has sent me toa site [free] that has great stats so im going to run it off that. So twill be up hopefully before I goto work tomorrow.

Good point Thantos, I get tired of all the betas some authors put up. I was just thinking that if the visual style was released as a beta (more like a release candidate I'd bet) we could all test it out and find any kinks or problems, while Osirus works on the desktop (freeing him up somewhat to do so).

Well its 3am and what better time for a Launch Party.

The Freestyle has landed.

"Critically acclaimed as a pleasure palace for the eyes

This Visual Style sets the standards."

- I just pulled that out my ass, but it sounded alright hey?

View the Official Osiris Media Beta Site Here

Or Alternative Jump Straight to the Freestyle Here

The theme has also been uploaded to ThemeXP. So if you download it from there, please vote.

Eitherway it ships with a Beta of the desktop unfortunely on in 1280 * 1024.

Well anyway now we can get on with the work at hand, which at this point in the early morning will be sleep. I sincerely hope you all enjoy.

Theme set... Rating = **** of 5

A star was taken because I had some difficulty implementing the theme. I would've taken another away because the Active Desktop was not working, but realizing that Orisis needs encouragement for making such a good theme, I'll keep it at a 4-star theme!

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
