This is the blue version for now. There will be more colors if people like this. I wasnt planning on releasing it, but people wanted it, so here it is. Keep here and request a different color if you want it.

DOWNLOAD HACKED SEER

b.t.w. There is a quicknotes skin to match the theme and fit next to winamp. It is not original totally, so if the creator, who I think is Dangeruss has a problem, mail me.

Problem:

You can't read the text when you pull up certain menus. For example, if you pull up display properties, under the "Themes" tab. You have the option of:

Ok, Cancel and Apply. You cannot read the Apply button. The font colour blends too close to the actual button.

Second problem:

If your programs list, under the start menu is two bars long, the second bar doesnt show the "blue" stripe that the first bar has.

Cheers,

Chem

Well all the problems you are mentioning are from original Seer then. I just changed colors. And, faction, what was blue that shouldnt have been. All I really did was buttons and the systray and start button.

I will try to fix those problems, though I didnt make them.

P.S. That color problem with the blending text will be fixed soon when I have time.

Redrope, You still want me to do the winamp skin for this?

There is a quicknotes skin that redrope/I made... hopefully we can get that to all of you soon.

Ezpop and trillian skins on the way as well....

Yeah, we need a winamp skin to match the blue/grey seer

Regarding Seer's origins and permission status.

Essorant (Tim Dagger) begat Seer as a Windowblinds skin and a NextStart theme. I became involved when I asked to port the basic elements into several other skins. see My Seer stuff for 15 other Seer skins before reinventing something to accompany Seer (hacked or otherwise).

I made revisions to the Seer skin and offered it alongside the others in the collection.

Kol did the XPtheme conversion (with permission) and now we have Brad (redrope) doing this "hacked" version. All these variations are cool with me, but should include credits to both Essorant and Dangeruss when you're showing off, or offering for download, your Seer inspired goodies.

Thanks!

Redrope and myself have talked about this...

We're planning on making Hacked.Seer in various colors:

Green, Red, Light Blue, Dark Blue. If there are any requests, please tell us.

I'm making the winamp skin to accompany this as well as an alternative ezpop skin, and redrope is making a trillian skin and an ezpop skin as well.

Look for all of these to pop up this weekend.

Redrope (Brad) and I (Jason) know eachother in person and go to school together, so we've got this planned out pretty well.

Btw, that quicknotes skin that Brad put in the .zip file was made by me, but I used the previous quicknotes skin and changed it around dramatically so it isn't really a ripoff, and modifications were done by Brad.

As Dangeruss just stated, why reinvent the wheel? There are already 15 skins in his Seer Collection. Winamp is among them.

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
