I switched back over to the blue theme from midnight (I switched cause the holiday theme was a little too much for me, I'm a minimalistic kinda guy) and the blue looks more like the ergonomic color rather then the brighter blue I thought it was.

Is this something new, or did the darkness of the midnight theme make my eyes go wacky? I like the change but I was just curious.

Why are there two blue themes (Neowin 3 and Neowin Blue)? Is there a reason? Are the any differences between the two? It's only in the forums though, none of the news pages. Been two since after the upgrade.

Neowin 3 is the group name for all of the themes under it. Notice the others have ---dashes while Neowin 3 doesn't.

Well than, I don't know if it's supposed to be doing it, but it also switches me to a blue theme when I select it.

Blue is the default for that tree.

So when you hit Neowin 3 it goes to the default theme.

When you click on Neowin 3 its similar to a redirect to the blue theme.

Yea that's what I always figured. It's just weird that there's two ways to get to the same theme.

Frank, no worries. Like youself I switched to Midnight for the Christmas season (really fitting eh :/) and then went back to Neowin Blue and was like :| WTF? It seemed to bright for me or something had changed but I remembered when I first used the theme, I have the exact same thoughts. Its natural we are uncomfortable to change so just sit and stare at the theme for a 20 minutes (you will either adjust to it or faint) :p

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
