Regarding earlier on the thread with the adonai vs sp00nman match, I have to say, I agree with what adonai was saying. Flame me if you must, but adonai's comments seemed perfectly okay, initially it seemed nothing more then just a warning from a guy who's seen a lot of mess come from misunderstanding with who authored work. Oh well, it's a pity it had to turn into a flame war.

That aside, wicked theme, great job guys, using it now!

Ok BananaMan, I am glad that you are using our theme, but I just dont understand how you can support that crap. He was saying that we included wallpapers that we didnt make. We didnt. He said we didnt get permissions. We did. What is to agree with?

Also, new colors really soon. (Sorry I have been putting it off.)

The argument is well over now... so I don't really want to see it being brought back up...

BUT, I don't think you saw the argument 360 degrees around... Redrope had obtained permission from KoL and the original authors to create "Hacked Seer," yet adonai consistently bashed him and I for promoting the new version... even though we had permission.

I think he gave up because he finally realized that we did get permission and that he wasn't informed enough on his part. It came to the point where he started bringing up ridiculous assumptions and ultimately failed.

But yet, I agree with you and adonai that permission should be obtained... and it was! I don't believe it would have been right to just go ahead and adjust KoL's work without asking him, which is why we did ask him. Except, what adonai didn't realize was that we had gotten permission. It even came to the point where he started insulting our work, a guarenteed indication that he was desperate to defend himself in any way that he could.

~~~

Moving along...

I'm sorry to all of you about the winamp skin.. I know I said it would be done over the weekend, but it's extremely difficult to find time for anything right now with the finals in the way... as soon as Thursday and Friday are out of the way, I'm home free! :) So, production will continue this weekend and I will start releasing skins then. Until then, adios.

Ok. Here is the deal with the new colors. I am thinking of making the colors changes strictly taskbar and start meny oriented. The other things are minimal and they dont really effect anything. If I do this, which I am doing right now, there will be more colors that I can do in less amount of time.

Thoughts?

Just before I reply, I want to say that I don't want to start another flame war by this, nor am I trying to. I'm not at ALL interested in drilling my point into everyone, it was just an observation. That aside, the reason why I agreed with him was because his initial comments seemed really reasonable, my impression was that he was just giving you some warning, not attacking you. Beyond that, it escalated into a flame war and then, yes, I agree with you, you were right in saying that you did obtained permission and that it just wasn't an issue. It just seemed like a misunderstanding that got blown waaaaay out of proportion by a flame war. sp00nman and redrope, I am not attacking you, and I'm not saying you're wrong either, please don't take it that way, this is just a silly little observation by me who probably doesn't understand the situation entirely. I really got peeved at some of the other neowinians who just flamed him for the hell of it, I thought that was unfair. Oh, and, just in case someone says this, no, I don't know adonai, never talked to him before ever.

Okay, all that messiness aside, I'll say again, I love your theme fellas, I usually cycle through themes daily because I'm not happy with them but this one is sticking, looking forward to the other colors!

Yeah, I understand where your coming from. No harm done... I was just putting in my opinion. I'm not arguing with you though. :)

I agree with his points, but I think he took it a little too far. He acused us of stealing people's ideas, distributing wallpapers without permission, called us names, and insulted our work. So naturally I defended myself, and a lot of other people here looked over what was happening and stepped in.

Oh well, everything is over anyway... thanks for the compliments on the theme, although it was redrope who made the msstyles! I just made the quicknotes and ezpop skins, and I'll be working more on that upcoming winamp skin! Adios.

I wasnt attacking you either, nor was I trying to if you thought I was. Im glad that you cleared that up. :D

Working on more colors right now. These colors are strictly taskbar and a little more. Im going to download the latest regular seer to make the theme be the best that it can be. :D

Ok folks, here is the last update for Hacked Seer EVER. To be totally honest, I have lost interest in this project, as have many other people. I dont think that its worth it to continue, so this is the last update ever. There is only 2 colors, because that is all of the patience I had for this. The new color is a red version. It looks ok.

Red Version:

FINAL VERSION OF SEER by redrope

The download file that is included here is a total package that includes all of the skins and the two visual style colors. I hope that you enjoyed this project, as it was my first, and I hope that from editing a theme I can move on to my own theme. I thank you for reading all of this and for paying attention to what we did. I also thank you for putting in comments and giving feedback. As sp00nman and I probably both agree, this theme could have had a lot more, but oh wel.. school sucks. :D

Thanks and enjoy!

Thanks

Same here. When I try to select the style in the desktop properties the hacked versions of seer do not show up. I have placed the 2 msstyles files in a folder called "Hacked Seer" but they aren't selectable from my list of styles.

Yeah, I know how that goes. There's just not enough hours in a day to juggle school, skinnin' and relaxation. Great work redrope and sp00nman, this theme will be on my PC for a long time!

Make sure that the folder name is identical to the .msstyles filename.

That's cuz you have the original seer installed. Go into the folder and just manually click the msstyle...

    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions.

This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
