i'm liking it so far. however, the start button does not lend itself to double height taskbars at all.

Perhaps you can make the start button just have the flag and box without the downward sloping gradient? Or at least provide the alternate graphic if people want to switch out the button.

When using the wireless connections selector "view wireless networks" the buttons for "refresh network list" and the others along the side  have a pink border around them.  It is really ugly :)

Avian, please supply the screenshot. Thanks.

Hi,

You need to download Y'z Toolbar from this webpage: http://www2.ueda.ne.jp/~higuchi/htm/Download-e.htm (at the bottom) and then move from the theme file from your "Aero Slate For Y'z Toolbar by ChiLam" folder to the Themes folder where you installed Y'z Toolbar.

Can't seem to get the full them to work, only the VS works for me.

Followed the instructions, but when I try choosing any of the 3 theme via display propeties it gives this error.

"The theme could not load because one of the needed theme files could not be found. This can happen with themes that are not installed or authored correctly. You should verify that the wallpaper, screensaver, icons, sounds, and other files are in the correct locaton.

Theme: C:\WINDOWS\resources\Themes\Infin8 Release Candidate 2.Theme"

Am I doing something wrong here? :(

Any help would be most thankful.

No you are not doing anything wrong. There was a glitch with paths in the themes, for some people it works, for other it doesn't. It's not a big problem though (it will be fixed in the final release) and you can do the same thing contained in the theme manually, here's how:

1. Display Properties>Desktop>Browse and locate the wallpaper in Windows>Resources>Themes>Any RC folder > Wallpaper and pick the one you prefer.

2. Control Panel>Mouse>Pointers> and replace the default ones you have there with files from Windows>Resources>Themes>Any RC folder>Cursors. You should be able to do it fairly quickly because the names in that folder correspond the names in the pointers list, just replace them and when you are done, click on Save As and that Pointer Theme to your liking.

The final release is on delay becuase there's a lot of client work that I need to deal with and still waiting on all possible glitch reports to cover as much as possible in the final.

Cheers.

    • 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.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
