Hmm, I posted this in the Customize forum, but I believe here would be more appropriate since em3 browses this and could *wink*wink* help me out? (Plus I can't find the delete thread button)

I'm using stylebuilder and I got the progress bar on Luna Element to stretch. I only got part of the theme to do this. I don't know where to edit the top part of the picture above. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

em3, i ran into another problem, if u have the time could u please help? i applied the same exact method of converting the solid progressbar into the alt start button msstyle, but it doesnt compile for some reason, the progress bar doesnt even show up at all! it's the wierdest thing ever, i cant figure for the life of me what im doing wrong...could you please advise me on how to convert it? it really looks secksi, but i'd love to see it on the alt start...

I am totally having trouble installing this, sorry. I've been to 5 different sites trying to figure out how intall in correctly but have had no luck

I downloaded the file off of the deviantart page, installed it. Then I _think_ I correctly patched the uxtheme.dll file, but I dont see the option under Properties > Apperance > Windows & Buttons :(

Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Sorry guys and gals

Ok, first off, you are using Windows XP SP2 right?

I know a lot of places say to do this in safe mode but it's not necessary.

Turn on Show Hidden Files & disable Hide Protected Operating System Files in folder options

Make sure your XP CD is not in the CD drive

Do a search for all files name uxtheme.dl* << notice only 1 L and the star

Delete all of them except the one in C:\Windows\System32

Now open C:\Windows\System32 and rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.bak

Copy in an already fixed uxtheme file.

Click CANCEL on both of the File Protection messages.

Reboot.

You can get the fixed file here:

Follow this to the letter and it will work...unless of course your PC was installed from a network share...then just disconnect the network.

    • I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
