?

improving...

but how about something more like the intensity of blue that neowin has. except a little brighter.

[edit]

actually, now that i think about it, that might be a pretty good idea.

lots of the themes i use, have different colors.

and i spend most of my time on my computer, lookin at neowin.:D

so if the theme matches neowin well, that'll be really something!

***just something to think about*** ;)

[/edit]

That's funny, I never heard anyone complain about the purple of the original Rhodium edge? Hell arhra, just make the theme the way you want, it's your work. People, don't start nit picking over colors, the theme is still a work in progress. I'm sure arhra will release other colors over time if he sees a need.

i understand, but it seems that everyone would like to see this change from the purplish color.

and i can't speak for arhra, but i would think that it's better to say all these things while it is still a work in progress.

lets say no one says anything, and he finishes the whole theme using the original color scheme.

then everyone starts 'nit picking'...i doubt he would be really happy to do it then.

esp when he puts out betas for BETA TESTING.

if you don't agree, speak up arhra. but you seem really accepting of our requests.

so again, keep up the great work.;)

No, what I was saying was let him finish the first theme then make your color suggestions. Bug reports yes but how the hell does recoloring the original theme work out bugs? All it does is slow down the progress. Like you said let arhra speak for himself but I would like to see this theme hit the streets asap without recoloring it 50 shades of blue first.

well the original blue is gonna stay as the default, mainly because i can't be arsed going through and changing all the graphics for the litestep theme... (although i may get round to a deeper blue version of it eventually).

anyway, i've been fiddling a bit more (aren't stylebuilder's colorization options great? ;) ), but at this point, i've got more important things to do (like get the logoff/shutdown buttons done, the programs menu needs overhauling, etc).

if you really want it a particular shade of blue, feel free to import it into stylebuilder and colorize it yourself :p

personally i absolutely loved the original purple color, if for no other reason than simply because it didn't look like very other theme/color combination out there.

if another color(s) is to be added, at least keep the original in the final release so those that didn't want a change will still be satisfied.

having choices is what theming is all about anyway, right?

good luck sorting it all out arhra!

[EDIT] oh, i see arhra beat me to it! excellent! :D [/EDIT]

understood.:p

i can wait though. esp since i'll be happier to see the version that i'll be happy use. not gay to use.:p :D ;)

minor issues:

- with a double-height task bar, the top & bottom lines jam right up against the edge of the blue tray box. looks like the spacing is just set too large between the lines - dunno if that can be changed or not...

- the name: rhodium edge ii - eh. how about rhodium edge reloaded??? ;)

and i like the blue you've chosen - don't change that.

keep up the great work!

but i'm surprized you didn't make the log off and turn off buttons rhodium, and the start button too, and the all programs button.

and maybe even include a wallpaper that you think goes with rhodium edge vII

rhodium edge vII beta - beta As in still in development. It's not even in the "Completed Visual Styles" forum. I'm sure arhra won't disappoint when he does release this as final.

"subliminal message" (arhra think orange and black) :D

OMFG!!!!

I am going to officially switch to litestep JUST for this theme!!!

/me hugs arhra

but uhh arha... can you do me (and Dazzla) a huge favor... and sorta incorporate this (http://images.deviantart.com/large/screens...s/dt2k20505.png) into the theme... if you did i'd love you forever LOL. i'm really talking just about the minimize/maximize/close part of the toolbar... thats the best part...

but otherwise... keep up the good work!!!

@nemo, I think that's what you're talking about. arhra already added that back into the theme from our prior begging :D

oh... yeah you are right LMFAO...

i'm still really waiting for the litestep theme.. that is what i really want... hopefully it'll be released soon :/

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
