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

    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors

      Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
