Hmmm. Should be intresting, the taskbar's my fave bit at the mo, but we'll see.

Good theme btw, been using it (albiet recoloured slightly) since release.

Is it just me, or does this guy have the worst attitude of any themer since Bant? :p

I agree wholeheartedly... it's rather displeasing... his theme blew up into something huge, and now he's 'too cool' to give anyone the decency of respect. I mean, c'mon, someone creating a modded shutdown window out of their own time, and he has the nerve to say "i don't see the point." C'mon, he's making something to contribute to YOUR suite... people these days just amaze me, thinking they're the best thing since sliced bread.

Maybe he's just tired of hearing us...maybe we should all just stfu.  :)  :p

Attitude or not, it sure is a nice VS.  (Y)

It is a nice VS, I totally agree. That's why I'm using it, and will continue to use it. I was just making a comment, but I'll refrain from that again.

So you don't think I made this theme on my own time? It really disappoints me that people are complaining then I'm just writing my thoughs. Just as you and all others here. It has never been my intention to be rude to anyone. :(

If all people can do is complain then maybe I should stop making themes other then for private use. All I'm trying is to be nice to everyone who appreciate my work.

Well, it's not often that a theme comes arround like this that people want to take the time to make all kinds of add ons for. You should be happy that the community likes the theme so much that they are willing to take the time to make things for it. It just seems like when someone makes something, you complain (there was the wallpapers earlier). Again, you should be flattered and happy that people want to take the time to make this theme more complete with add ons and making suggestions. That's a huge compliment and a testiment to how well done the theme is and how much we all like it.

I do understand that, which is why I'm extremely grateful for you time and talent, as is everyone else here. We all greatly appreciate your work, and that's why we're trying to give back. Everyone is trying to give back to this suite so that you don't get requests of "Hey, em3, please make a shutdown window" or "Hey, em3, I would love to see a winamp/WiMP theme". They're not doing this just for themselves, otherwise they wouldn't post it here. I'm just saying, we all appreciate your work, and are trying to show it by giving back.

I think the reason people 'complain' is because they spend their own time on top of what you've already spent to contribute to the theme and you seem condescending about the whole thing, as if its intruding on your publicity.

It means a lot thought that you'd come out and say you never intended to be rude... It's very hard to tell the "tone" of someone's "voice" online, because well, there is no voice to listen to.

I think there just confusion as to how to take some of the things you say, thats all, but I believe that the comment you made helps clear things up.

Anyway, all in all, great theme, we all love it, and that's why we're trying to give back.

ok, right, some people do complain. but that isn't what we only do! me and many others make a complement every now and then, and I think you shouldn't stay mad with our complains, you should use them to improve your theme AND yourself as a person.

I've been reading this thread with great interest for some time now and feel that the contributed additions from members such as Dazzla be they official or unofficial are worth an addition to the project in some way shape or form be it an edit to the first post or perhaps if Dazzla and yourself (em3) could work on this together this theme could become even better.

Making this theme complete including logons, shutdown dialogs, wallpapers, skins etc sounds like a brilliant idea IMHO and would really be the icing on the cake, when Microsoft created the Luna them they didn't say "What the hell screw the shutdown dialog it will only be seen briefly" (not an attack against you em3).

A team effort would be great however it is initially em3's work and I do believe it is up to him how it all pans out in the end.

Thank you em3 for your time and effort and anyone else which has made any additions to complement this theme, I look forward to any updates

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.
