The reason why I made this is because Neowin used to disallow Royale visual style. So I need to make something for my own Royale. I decided to use alternate Luna (Longhorn Revolution) design from Aero resources for my Royale (just similar look). Nevertheless, it's still not Royale anyway because I didn't meant to make it for the first place. But now Neowin allowed themer to public Royale mod. I decided to take Royale back again with some resources but still keep my own design. And that's how Royale Glass came.

It's not glass :angry: It's just a lighter color of Royale. I was hoping for the Aero style of transparency and such. Hmph...

Bah....I appologize for my initial outburst. I'm just frustrated because I cant' find what I'm looking for. You did some nice work with the theme though :p

Actually, it's not Royale. I use SideBar Glass resources (Look at Aero UI (Night) and you'll understand) I modded for JadeLuna before but I dropped this and add Jade effects to normal Luna instead. I decided to make new theme with that design after Royale was released and looks similar to my design accidently. I ever made "real" Glassy Royale but ppl flamed me so I decided to drop that.

Bug report:

- The progress bar at 0% has a small chunk of blue et the left. I think that at 100% it also go slightly past the surrounding box (don't remember well).

- Firefox: the content windows jump up/down continuously by about 1 millimeter. When the bookmark bar is displayed but contains no item. When changed to another VS, this behaviour disappeared.

Other than that, this VS is wonderwul. I used it since 2 days. The more I use the more I like it. In your next update, can you please create a more classy start button? The current one is too big and is too common to be worthy of a VS of this quality.

    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in may areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
