well, thanks for the comments guys! Label'O's hasn't been released yet and I don't know if anyone has permission to do so. I haven't read something about that, so I assume noone isn't making it..I just made my port in short time and there isn't very much done, I don't know if I should finish it...

Permission not needed to port Swiz's work....here's the excerpt from his front page....

"So your a PC/Linux user who has ported an SS original?

I get so many emails from users of other operating systems letting me know that they have created their own ports of my work for their platforms it astounds me. I'll be very frank with you, the only community I am worried about is the Macintosh community; I create the OSX originals and strive for bug free, well thought and well executed GUI's. I do not endorse any particular port of my work for these other platforms. I do not attempt to regulate ports.

Port and distribute as you like while noting that the port is inspired by but unrelated to Swizcore Studio."

I updated once more...

VS: DeMX (modded slightly by me)

Icons: Equal and Others

Wall: Flag In A Box (found in this thread)

Apps: Yz Toolbar, Winamp with Toaster plug-in, iShut

Clean

Dirty

PS: Sorry about the poor quality of the second pic but I had to fit it in the upload limit. And as always comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

i'm really bored of these mac 'look-a-like' desktops, these 'unreleased' stuffs .. the hell with them .. so, back to classics

3DCC raapie-final, Ximian icons, rainlendar & some samurize by me .. nothing special but it makes me feel comfortable.

I wish I had the guts to go full time with bb.  I love the look but I could never get used to it.

I'd recommend it. The more time you spend with it the more you realize how good it can suite you're tastes (At least in my case). You can just run the exe without having to replace your shell...quit it at any time and go back to explorer...to test it out.

I could never go back to a non blackbox environment for one main feature alone, mouse controls on the title bar. You can control what happens when you right click, middle click, left click, shift or ctrl click etc a titlebar. This saves so much time, you woudn't imagine how useful it is. For me it's....

Left click: Bring focus to window

Middle Click: Close window

Right Click: Minimize window

Double left click: Roll-up window (Another great BB feature)

Ctrl left click: Maximize or restore

this is so much quicker than using the close / min / max buttons of normal windows, or right clicking a taskbar entry to bring up the menu to close, min or max an item. This alone saves so much time that if I couldn't use blackbox, I'd be willing ot run an application in the background for this feature. Let alone all the plugins that eliminate my need for Samurize, the clean, minimal looks, the sheer customizability of it and so on.....

those buttons will only good good with a skin whos dialog and menu colors are set to the same color, like F4F4F4 or something like that cause bitmaps dont support transparecy, and it isnt done yet :|

yeah i know, i plan on making my own buttons eventually. i was wondering about the the old people emotes though. think you could save and send me the bitmaps for them? they look fun.

Ya, I've tried it, didn't like it very much. But looking

at your last screen, I kinda like the way it's set up there.

Maybe I'll mess around with it again. ;)

    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).

    • We are reached to the point that apple looks affordable and better choice than anything else, in what dystopia are we living in....
    • Ouch. $1600 for 256GB SSD / 16GB? Even Apple, the purported "target" of Surface devices for a long time, has its MacBook Air M5 at 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM for $999 MSRP. Surface will never be reasonably priced with such low volumes.
    • Sadly price is pretty in line with the other new X2 devices so far. RAM/SSD prices have ruined everything.
