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.

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.
    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
