This seriously is one of the most awesome themes.... ever. The first theme to make me change from giga's dotted.

For all those asking for the best wallpaper which goes with this, i would say try the organic pack. Also, this theme doesnt make my firefox theme fonts go all over the place.

Heylove, please can u make a version which doesnt have a compact taskbar, i need a full task bar. Could u make it, please....

Anyway, here is how i have my desktop with this theme.

Clean desktop

Below is a pic for messy desktop

I just find it hard to use the taskbar when its compact. I would really prefer a full taskbar. I think it looks nicer also. Oh, and u added that bold to the need word in my quote. You're right tho, my wrong choice of words using need. But would be really nice if Heylove would make a full taskbar **hint-hint** . I would really appreciate it.

Are there any further plans for this style? Boot and login screens, log off/shut down dialogs, cursors, and possibly an addon icon pack would be great.

This is one of the best visual styles that I've seen so far. It really deserves the same attention that Nano received.

Anyway, I'll be attempting to make log off and shut down dialogs sometime in the next few days, though I tried this once with one of grayhouse's visual styles and failed miserably. If anything comes of it (and if I can get permission) I'll post it here. :)

Maybe it was teh 7 point font???

Awesome style, but would only work on a 800x600 monitor because of the font size!

IMHO 8pt is the absolute minimum any style should have. Its just not legible below that, particularly using ClearType. :p

Sorry for the late update, though I doubt anyone was actually waiting. Anyway, I (once again) had no luck at all with the logoff and shut down prompts.

Is anyone else planning on (or at least interested in) making more content for this style? I'd be glad to help out wherever I can. Just seems I can never finish anything on my own. :p

    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X

      Windows 10 was 6 years old when Microsoft revealed Windows 11. Does this mean Windows 12 is due next year?

      Agreed out side of some AMD CPU stutter issues in year one, fixed by AMD and Microsoft I have no technical or performance issues. Plenty of little annoying aspects like trying force Microsoft accounts, copilot, fully replacing edge with another browser of your choice, but all them are tamed by knowledge or free tools….so far.
