Windows_X, I know I have been hard on you...so I'll fill you in on a bit. Youv'e got some reading ahead of you though LOL. One the first picture you presented, the red part is where Aurora will be. It is half implimented in that screen pic. Aurora is not a visual style as you all seem to think. I just wanna make it clear that it is not. People have been hard at work extracting different parts of Aurora, and there are two main views. There's Aurora for the desktop and then Aurora Preview (which I suggested to KoL). The Preview is that red part in the first pic you showed me. The desktop Aurora is an effect that we've seen from the Milestone 6 wallpaper if any of you have it. Most people got variations on it, blue green and so on, but the original was red. That was a screenshot taken from a desktop running Aurora desktop. Do you see how the wall looks like drapes for a curtain somewhat? (Go with me here lol) that part actually moves. That is what Arora is...the XAML based structure that creates this effect. For more reading, I suggest ieXbeta, since alot of the stuff posted you might get a benefit out, and some pointers perhaps in trying to work with a modified Aurora in both of your visual styles.

So this is Aurora?

it would be pretty cool if you got a Installer for this Skins, Also good for people that don't know how to install Theme's manually lol

No that's crap!

For the people who don't know how to do it: drag the theme folder to C:\Windows\Recourses\Themes

so that takes care of that problem :p

    • Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is in the process of making some big changes to Xbox Game Studios right now, which might include studio shutdowns, but Game Pass drops aren't pausing for that. The second wave of June was just announced, unveiling another Call of Duty addition, the latest soccer game from EA, an indie road trip hit from last year, and more. While Microsoft said it won't put Call of Duty titles on Game Pass on the day of launch anymore, older titles keep landing, with the latest one being 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard. Here are all the games that were announced today for Xbox Game Pass, their platforms, and arrival dates: Junkster (Cloud, XBOX Series X|S, Handheld, and PC) – June 16 Call of Duty: Vanguard (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 17 EA Sports FC 26 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 18 Abyssus (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 25 RV There Yet? (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 30 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – July 2 Winds of Arcana: Ruination (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) – July 6 From the bunch, Junkster is the sole day-one drop into Game Pass libraries of this selection. As new games arrive, eight will be leaving the Game Pass programs on June 30. Here's the full list of leaving titles: Mecha Break (Cloud, Console, and PC) Payday 2 (Console) Rise of Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Slay the Spire (Cloud, Console, and PC) Ultimate Chicken Horse (Cloud, Console, and PC) Volcano Princess (Cloud, Console, and PC) Unpacking (Cloud, Console, and PC) With June drops finished, Microsoft should have a new Game Pass announcement in about two weeks to reveal the first wave of games coming to subscribers in July. Already confirmed games for the month include the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, Corsair Cove, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, and Mistfall Hunter.
