Don't understand what you mean at all. Don't you read english in germany? Why should I make so many choises when people will only use one of them anyway. There will be the 4 styles I have said. That's it. The file will get to big otherwise.

Well I want the alt starbar and the everything compaq expect the starmenu. But if you can't do it I understand. great theme. keep up the greet work.

No, sorry. Now I can't do any more styles. If I make one more I'm crossing 1mb, and I don't want that.

ok I respect. But can't you just post another zip that less then a meg?

or like just zip that one and put in on neowin. I just really like the compaq theme but not big fan of the startbar or could you tell me how modify the compaq theme to have regular startmenu?

I love the new startbutton but is it possible to also include a thin taskbar with the original startbutton?  I love the original green start button but I want thin taskbars....  thank you SO much!!!

First off, this is one of the Best vs's I have seen in a while. What makes it even nicer is the fact that it is actually usable, eg. not overly bright and not annoying to use for extended periods, etc. Really Nice!

It would definitely be nice to also have the green start button with the awesome thin taskbar. This would satisify those who like either the fat or thin taskbar and give them the same choices... Many thanks to em3 for sharing, and for the superb work!!

Wonderful work em3, I love this theme.

I have some suggestions for the thin version:

1.

- reduce the height of the lower part in the startmenu (I've chosen 28px)

- full startmenu :)

2.

- darker instead of lighter inactive captionbars (IMO they look nicer)

I applied these changes on my computer, this is how it looks now:

On the contrary, I really do like the darker inactive captionbars. I also think your suggestion concerning reduction of lower part of start panel is useful. Of course it's the prerogative of author to do as he pleases. Either way, this VS is an accomplished effort and we are very happy with it. Excellent! :)

I ran into problems when I resized the lower part of the start menu the last time I tried. I will try again though. That looks good. :)

If anyone know how to do this I would appreciate it. For me the buttons won't resize even though the properties are set to stretsh.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
