My apologies, life as it is, has been very busy. To top it all off, the copy of StyleBuilder I have (early version) can open and allow me to edit the theme, and even compile it. But! When I try to apply the VS (by double-clicking) the msstyle, it throws an error. I cannot for the life of me find StyleBuilder 2.0 or 2.5.

It's one thing after another!

Plus I've been argueing with Alan Zeino, who has ripped Opus OS for his own 'theme', which kinda put me off skinning also. I might even post the PM's because it has annoyed me that much.

That sucks b0se. You dont need to apolagise, i'm sure we can wait :).

Feel free to post the pm's. I wouldn't mind knowing what Alan Zeino has to say for that kind of disgusting behaviour :no:. Opus OS was and is one of your best themes, and it's just disgusting that someone will rip it for their own personal gain :angry:

Nice to hear an update. Hope everything turns out right :D

I hope you will keep at your wonderful work, ross. From the comments on every one of your themes you can see that many people appriciate you and your work, and i for one do hope you will continue to bring us some of the best visual eyecandy we can find ;)

Have you been able to get a working copy of StyleBuilder ?

Thanks for the support guys!

Alan, I didn't post anything publically, only my annoyance. You pasted parts of the PM conversation we had. Like AgentSmith says - keep it out of this thread.

The second I get hold of a working StyleBuilder (not version 1), I'll get on with the theme. Until then, my hands are tied. Like I said, I refuse to pay for software that promotes software. It's disgusting on TGTSoft's part. I also had no reply about a licence, even though they did indeed send me one before.

Hey guys and gals!

I've been stupidly busy as of late, but at night I've been finding myself fiddling in StyleBuilder. I was after a theme that resembled Classic, with with some colour. Not as much as Codename Opus however, this one is really a classic based theme.

Preview...

I'm extremely happy with it at the moment, I've been using it to develop on for a few weeks and it's still as appealing to me, I hope it's like that for anybody who fancies the look of it. I used bright blues for buttons, scrollbar hovers etc to remind me that summer is on its way!

To do:

Tabs

Start panel (erk)

Taskbar

I'm using the Codename Opus widgets (tickboxes, sliders) so I do not have to touch them (booyah!).

ETA: 2 weeks...

BTW: Please refrain yourselves from "That looks like XYZ" (not seen anything like it personally!), I've been developing this using only classic with no influences whatsoever. Been away from the scene for months!

looks prettyjust one request can you add some 2 tone dark/black color for people whos there pc mostly at night like myself. Too much bright ness hurts after a long while.

this looks like a terrificificicific theme, i can't wait.

As for Alan, i have no doubts that you can put together a theme with your own work, and i would use one of your themes (because they so closely resemble b0se and bants work) however i think you need to stop modifying others themes, and try something really creative

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
