A note to KoL (I know he is paying attn. to this thread too), try to include a little touch of color, maybe in an alternate version of some of your themes. You also have a similar detail, but the color is what makes me stick with arhra most of the time. Simple, elegant, slick...makes it stick!

if your talkin about FatalE well Im going to make more color for that theme :D

since the precise shade of blue is apparently such an issue, how does this look:

?

thats actually looking better, still kind of purple, but better than the other one,

i think that the purple didn't bother me on the old Rhodium Edge because there wasn't so much of it.

btw: arhra is one of the few skinners that actually listen to what the user of his skins think of and ask for, so lets not ask too much that we'll make him sick of us :D

well, yeah, that and some of your others. they are all excellent themes by their own merits, but monochrome just doesn't catch your eye.

i hope you don't take anything that i say as an offense. i mean nothing but suggestion here, and it's only my opinion, not the Word of God or whatever...

anyway, great to hear about FatalE!! :cheeky:

my server seems to be having issues, sorry... (/me mutters at hostrocket)

ah, it's responding to pings now, hopefully it's back up...

anyway, i've squashed that bug, but i can't be arsed zipping it up and reupping it right now, not for a tiny little fix like that, i'll probably upload a new version tomorrow, which should have the log off/shutdown buttons sorted, amongst other things...

I uploaded the current version here if anyone is having problems downloading from arhra's server...

http://nemonet.lcirc.net/rhodiumedgeII.zip

I'll try to keep it updated with the current release :/

[edit] arhra i hope its okay... if you want me to take the link down i will [/edit]

i just downloaded it and i had trouble installing it... i am using XP sp1 with the patch to use these themes.. i had to rename this msstyles file to rhodium edge.msstyle (like from the first version) to get it to work.

i did encounter some bugs tho... (as explained in the pic)

http://home.attbi.com/~liquidnc/erronerous/bugs.png

The display monitor is more then likely to do with a problem with SP1, a theme couldn't change that.

The botton message box is standard because of the small size of it and the fixed size of the caption buttons.

As for the task manager, hmmmm, that's a bit wierd.

    • Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion by David Uzondu Image via DepositPhotos.com Salesforce today announced that it has reached an agreement with customer support software company Fin to buy the company for around $3.6 billion. Salesforce expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2027, and the acquisition will not change its financial guidance previously announced on May 27. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, in its press release, claimed that acquiring the startup gives Salesforce an immediate AI agent that resolves support tickets across email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Slack: You might know Fin by its former name, Intercom. If you have ever been on a website or inside a mobile app and noticed a little chat bubble widget floating in the bottom right corner of your screen, often featuring a friendly face and a message like, "Hi! How can we help you today?" you were almost certainly looking at Intercom. Intercom became Fin just last month, transforming itself into an "AI-first" platform that handles customer issues with little need for humans to intervene. The new name originates from the company's highly successful AI customer service agent, which it launched way back in 2023. This digital assistant supposedly resolves about 76% of customer service volume end-to-end on its own, so the business rebranded to match its primary software tool. Fin's new owners, Salesforce, went on an acquisition spree over the last few years, and some of them you might recognize, like its 2020 $27.7 Billion acquisition of Slack. The last few months saw the enterprise giant buy several startups, including m3ter, Momentum, Cimulate, and Contentful. Salesforce said that when the Fin deal pulls through, customers will "deploy AI agents across" various service operations, which will complement Agentforce, the platform that enables businesses to deploy customizable autonomous digital workers.
    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.
