sry, one more question:  does minimizing look like it does in os x with your theme? can windowfx make it do that?

oh yeah, how much ram does this all use?  as i've only 512 mb, i need to be concious of that.

The min effect can be done with windowfx.

The ram issue all depends on how much you are looking to use. Just the theme itself and windowblinds uses less then 1 mb and 2 mb VM. Then of course the screen shot has trillian pro running (~10MB) and then the widgets (~1-2MB) for each widget (depends on which program you use) and objectdock free (1-2MB idle, 4-5MB on zoom)

I use all the these programs except the widgets on my older laptop using XP pro that only uses 256 mb and it runs fine.

how much ram does the normal luna theme use?

One question - how did you change your font for the various entries in the Start Menu? Mine defaults to Tahoma, and it looks out of place.

Otherwise, pretty smooth useable theme. One minor nitpick - in Firefox, all the menus are a pure shade of grey, but I'd guess that that's Firefox's fault.

After some userChrome.css tweaking (shamelessly ripped from Firefox help and Mozillazine's forums :p), I finally managed to cook up some menus that aren't a total shade of grey :)

/* Customise the look of your menus */
menupopup, popup {
   border: 1px solid !important;
   -moz-border-left-colors: #ACACAC !important;
   -moz-border-top-colors: #ACACAC !important;
   -moz-border-right-colors: #ACACAC !important;
   -moz-border-bottom-colors: #ACACAC !important;
   padding: 2px !important;
   background-color: Menu !important;
}
menubar > menu {
   border: 1px solid transparent !important;
   padding: 2px 5px 2px 7px !important;
   margin: 0 !important;
}
menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"] {
   background-color : Highlight !important;
   color: HighlightText !important;
}

/* Change the way menu separators look */
menuseparator {
  border-top: 1px solid #ACACAC !important;
  border-bottom: 0px solid !important;
}

The dividers and menu edges are now way more distinct. The menu background is still a dull shade of grey though, although it *might* be possible to change it to an image.

I updated the first post with an article I wrote. Go there and under cursorxp I have a link to download cursors for strictly xp.

And the reason your tabs are like that is because of your font. Delete your copy of Lucida Grande and install the one that came with my theme.

There were a lot of replies I got on this theme that I never expected, Deron your own of them.

There will be another update this weekend, it will be just to correct the progress bar animation direction.

and Canadian, I'm glad you like it, btw, Canada owns :p

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
