Come on guys don't flame KoL, he purely released something he was working on. He didn't have to share it, but thought that some people would appreciate it.

Whether you love or hate Longhorn - thats not the point: this was a personal port which he decided to release.

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.

Since when is the thread suddenly about you?

I thought this was KoL's Longhorn thread......

Perhaps he loves KoL's work and respect him too much. Unfortunately, he hates Longhorn looks.

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

KoL can release whatever the f*ck he wants. I don't like the Longhorn look but a lot of people do, and that's who he made it for. If you don't like it, don't use it. Don't come in here flaming him for releasing something that clearly has a audience just because you don't like it.

I don't think it's possible.

Oh well.. its not that big of a problem. I didn't even notice it until someone mentioned it here and posted a screenshot of it. :happy:

Why oh why did I see those screenshots..

How do you remove the lines in FireFox? :dontgetit:

probably use a dark firefox theme..

Oh and KoL, I've been waiting for this theme since I saw your other post. It looked so great.. However, the theme looks much better in your screenshots than on my computer ;)

No offense, great work and great port. :yes: I've just been slowly moving away from Longhorn look since Royale look, but these themes are great.

I showed my sister the Jade colour scheme in this Windows Theme, but she said that a pink start menu that flows with the rest of the colour scheme will make it look better. Can you set about doing a start menu mod for the Jade colour scheme so that it will match with the rest of the theme?

- LoL -

God almighty ... No wonder KoL has very little to do with this forum. :s

I third that. KoL will you make one??:DD

would have to make it a 4th one....I know its a direct port, but if it was thinner, it would be completely awesome...I would have to switch to a new theme (this previous one lasted me almost 3 months) :blink::

edit: i cant comprehend my own sentences right now, so i dont know if these make sense at all...too much buddha

I don't know... knowing this is coming from KoL kinda made me expect something more... not sure what, but something that had his creative touch. Don't get me wrong, it all looks generally better than the other Longhorn themes out there... but, well, it still looks like the rest of the Longhorn themes out there for the most part. Which is to say, not anywhere near as nice as everything else KoL has done (and I'm not counting the ports).

Anyhow, it's a nice effort and probably works for what it was intended to be... a thumbs up for that. Keep up the all-around good work.

Edit:

Just so no one misunderstands, I'm not griping about the theme(s) or asking for them to be redone or anything else of the sort. Just offering an opinion to go along with all the "it's wonderful and I want it to have my first born" posts. I'm not knocking KoL's abilities (it'd be hard to do that with his back-log of work), nor am I taking anything away from what this theme is... something KoL wanted and set about doing, something that a lot of people seem to like.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
