Glad to see I've inspired you KoL, since I was the 1st to put the ground for DWM lookalike styles. Like you were with Longhorn styles. Look a little bit too flat for me, altough it's really a 4074 DWM style, but for XP, think you have to add some 3d effects and gradient to it, ;)

Actually, KoL said he's willing to work on it when releasing an update (2.0) but release it after yours. Just like me who was developing Athens but release it after KoL's. I just want to make it clear in case you're mistaken about it but it's not neccessary for who'll be first anyway.

Hey don't misunderstand me, I think DWM style from Kol is great, I don't have any problem with that, and I don't give a s...it about who was first despite others ppl. It's all about visual, and for me what matters is: do I find it beautiful or not?

And the answer is: I find it beautiful but needs some improvements like Slate DWM needs too.

It's a great Visual Style, but I'm happy with my current Longhorn theme that I have my computer. (StefanKa's Longhorn Inspiriat) I think you and few other guys are at the elite level of makers, one step shy of the best ones (In my opinion StefanKa, B0se, Bant and Chaninja).

OK, then. I posted that because you said you're glad that you's insprired KoL about DWM but the truth is he planned this theme before your DWM is released. so I don't think he followed your DWM.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
