Quote: im afraid it totally ruins it.

If you're referring to the red dot thing, I like it. I don't want something flashing non-stop until I click on it - I can see that I've got a message or whatever without feeling pressured to click it straight away.

I hope Andy keeps it. The only thing I'm waiting for now is the compact start menu, and maybe a better start button - it's better than it was but I think it can still be improved.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Updated to 1.4!

1.4 Release 08/04/05

- added thin taskbar/compact start menu mode

- fixed minor bug with toolbox window borders

- fixed titlebar button margins (improves

Adobe Photoshop support)

- hopefully fixed problems with non-English

versions of Windows XP (please let me know

if not!!)

- added glow to flash items to make them 'bolder'

Sorry but I'm not removing the last element of originality in this theme! ;)

^ good for you!

Love the new update, still think the start button could be a little better - maybe it should be a bit smaller?

I'll have a think about it, but overall a great theme that has really taken shape due to your willingness to listen to other peoples ideas.

Cheers!

It's quite a good theme. What annoys me is the appearance of the tabs in firefox; look at those unsightly and uneven gaps in first picture.

e.g. (bad tabs and good tabs respectively):

Sorry, I can't fix that without losing the clean seperated look of those tabs. I think that's a bug in Firefox anyway (because it also happens in Luna), I can't find any other apps that don't work properly.

It clearly doesn't. Did you not see the picture I used for comparison on the previous page?

OK, well where else does the problem occur?

As far as I know, the tabs look correct in everything except in Firefox (as in the attached images)

In the meantime, I've adjusted the sizing margins of the tab items, hopefully that'll help :unsure:

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
