here's what i'd suggest:

less but better-looking icons, and perhaps a wallpaper that matches the theme and that you like :)

This theme is not going to be released and I'll not send it to anyone

I dont have permission to release it

Theme: Makki Graphite by KoL

Icons: iPlatinum and Heins Industrial ported by KoL

Wpaper: CB4 by DJ- ??? something (I think is Design, I dont remember)

Too bad you're not releasing. Just wanted to compliment on what seems to be another great conversion :)

cerbero: MakkiX is a great theme but the author will not gave permission to anyone, he is the author of AlumiteX, he didnt gave me permission to port it :angry:

Yeah I know. He's the same themer that refused permission to port DSX too if I'm not mistaken.. Damn shame. He makes great themes :(

It's a matter of principal. And KoL is a decent guy so he wont go against the authors wishes.

It's also a matter of rules, we clearly know where the original author stands so anyone post this theme at their peril :devious:

use the program "transparent" to get rid of the blue backgroudn in your icon's text

its small (about 10k), fast, simple

Yep, Neowin, as we all know (or should know), has been criticised as being a home for rips. Rules are rules, so we stick to them. If anyone ripped my wallpapers, I'd be a little annoyed.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
