I love the look of the theme, I just can't stand the slate start button. It's fugly.

I know you didn't design the start button your just porting it but whomever did seriously need's their eyes checked.

awesome, really the best port yet, although there are some flaws like Schmoove mentioned it's still very useable, only thing I don't like that much is the gradient on the captionbar on all styles except athens on the right it is a bit...odd?!? but I can still live with it the way it is now...nice work!

Wow a lot of ass kissing in this thread.... unbelievable.

Anyways let me start by saying that I love your work, you make awesome themes KoL. Your Panther/Tiger VS is flawless and there are a lot more visual styles that are just amazing.

Though, when I saw this I was really disappointed. It is a jaggie fest all over. A lot of graphics look like anything but polished. It's probably because the current longhorn theme can't be ported to XP in a decent way, I don't know, but I can honestly say this is your worst theme ever.

XP just doesn't support all the flexibility longhorn will offer and it hurts the theme.

I'm sorry this sounds really negative, but I can't help it.... it just isn't up to your normal standards.

Just my opinion.

(I'll probably get a lot of people flaming me now, but you know what.... I don't care, go ahead)

Remenber I made this theme for fun, not to be a nice theme just an exact copy of Longhorns themes (or almost ) and beleive me everything in the theme is like they are in Longhorn. Those jaggies are the way they are in Longhorn, people that have used Longhorn before know that.

The only thing it needs which is out it the aero transformation pack which changes the explorer bar to look like the longhorn aero bar.

It also needs the little picks where it says video/picture/audio tasks on the side pane in my computer.

But other than that Looks Really really good

When Longhorn comes out, all you people will ask for other Visual Styles since you will be bored to death about its default style because you are using it now. I am tired of Longhorn themes as tired I am of Aqua themes. We need innovation, something new. Kol, you have got the talent; think of something new, innovate.

ok first its ok if you dont like it or your tired of all the ports. I didnt make this theme thinking of everyone, I kknow this is not for everyone.

I remember back in 2000 and beggining of 2001 everyone have their deskop looks like XP then when XP comes out everyone wanted to change it. This is going to happen with Longhorn everyone want to mod their PC to look like longhorn but will hate the theme when it comes out. People like to have (or make it look) what is not out yet.

Maybe you need innovation but I dont need innovation right now, Right now I wanted my PC look like longhorn. If I want to have ssomething new them I'll make something new but right now Im happy with my "Longhorn" desktop :D

I'm sorry. No wait, I'm not sorry. This is SHAT. I don't care how many themes you've released, and I don't care how good of a quality they have been. This theme and its sub-styles are hideous. People seem to go nuts when a ripped microsoft theme is released. I don't know why, they are always ugly as sin. The same goes with this. The buttons, the titlebar, the scrollbar, all use horrible gradients. The themes themselves are so poorly designed it would make baby jesus cry. Just because Kol is a good themer does not give him the right to release this atrocious beast. This theme is as usable as a tampax is to a man.

I'm using Longhorn Aero now, and I'm speechless on how it looks. Words are just simply not enough to describe the beauty of this Windows Theme.

(OK, maybe Longhorn Athens looked a bit ugly, but this port of the "Longhorn" Windows Themes are just incredible)

You might be speachless because you can't believe you're using such a ridiculous theme. Hey I know, it was made by Microsoft! I wanna use it! "But dude it's hideous!" I don't care, it's by microsoft!

wow snively those are the best post ever :shifty:

Just because Kol is a good themer does not give him the right to release this atrocious beast.

I release whatever I want. If I want to make and release a theme with pink, green, read and yellow gradients I'll do it.

I, myself, dont like the themes (Jade and Aero) this is just something that I wanted to try.

I agree with you. Longhorn looks suck. If I was MS' fanboy, I'll make exactly port to be like MS. But at least it's combination between Windows and Mac and it's the future of Windows. I've tried to improve crappy design and remove glitches in resources to improve its quality. I like Plex because it's blue (my favourite color) and I've been working so long about year with it before Slate comes (about 13-15 releases for one theme with long changelog). I'm happy with it but at time Slate was released, I refused ppl who requested me to make Slate and tell them someone will make it in no time. I waited about one day but no one. I hate Slate as much as I hate tomato. To come and think of it again, I decided to make Slate port due to purpose I think I have to. I released unofficial one first as original and release it again with Mistic mod. I made exactly mod for 1.0 and no more for accurately work. So I think I'll try making better Slate in the next release. To conclude this, I wanna make Longhorn looks better from **** to something I can accept to use. That's what I meant to do for Longhorn.

kol said he released this for fun. he doesn't expect everyone to use it, and surely doesn't expect everyone to like it. and if you don't like it, don't comment and don't return to this thread again.

this thread is called "longhorn for xp. MY (kol) longhorn port", which means he can modify any visual elements to his taste. if you can't come up with something better, then sit down and stfu

nice theme kol

    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).

    • We are reached to the point that apple looks affordable and better choice than anything else, in what dystopia are we living in....
    • Ouch. $1600 for 256GB SSD / 16GB? Even Apple, the purported "target" of Surface devices for a long time, has its MacBook Air M5 at 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM for $999 MSRP. Surface will never be reasonably priced with such low volumes.
    • Sadly price is pretty in line with the other new X2 devices so far. RAM/SSD prices have ruined everything.
