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

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
