Coming along very nicely. Will feature Aero and Mono as the 2 included themes. I might include the original AeroFlat if enough people want it. Anyway, couple of things to tweak out (2 clocks, weather, etc are still up in the air) and we'll be ready for the public beta, hopefully around New Years'.

Comments are appreciated. Oh -- and jemaho is the MAN with the DWM tribute themes.

Can I ask how you are doing the transparency...is it a 3rd program such as y'z shadow or windows fx?

Great looking VS so far  :yes:

Actually, it isn't a VS at all. It is a complete system shell replacement using Avedesk and several other programs. See this thread for more information on it.

Like I said, just a couple little nags to work out before the public beta. The REAL treat is when AveDesk 1.2 and SysStats 2.5 gets added down the road. You guys will not BELIEVE some of the things that those two new releases will add to the shell. Alas, it won't ship with the beta, and perhaps not even with the first couple of releases (since their development will NOT be rushed -- nor would I want it rushed), but instead everything will be finely tuned and ready for them. Hopefully we can get the beta out the door first thing 2k5.

More to come, so stay tuned. :)

Sweet I am in.

I Think its time Windows GUI's move away from the customizing the Default Shell and created whole new shells. (something like Linux, KDE,  Gnome, Windowmaker,  etc.)

It's been possible to do that for years, Windows Explorer can be replaced with just about any executable. Unfortunately, it's not really as straightforward as applying a Visual Style, you actually have to do some manual editing of config files in most cases, or there is something lacking in functionality compared to Explorer, so people generally don't bother.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
