Any idea when v. 5.0 will be out?

I might have an idea ;)

I JUST got my new PC today (a Lightening Fast 2.53 Ghz!!!)

So now that I have a functioning PC, which doesnt get lagged by a simple sneeze, I can work on it again :) I do have version 4.1ish 2ish done, it just fixes some minor bugs and implements some requests. I'd love to hear ideas to further milk the idea, but it may not reach 5.0; theres not much left to do if anything really....

I am proud to announce (after another 6 or so months of nothingness), the NEXT WATERCOLOR UPDATE! :woot:

I have released Watercolor 4.2 to my webspace and soon to themexp.

Anyone else who wants to host the theme do to themexp's recent *cough* slowness and errors *cough* is free to do so :)

Changes include:

- optimised a bit more by reducing colours in some files, and also by multiple use of bmp's within each colour variation.

- added a feature? where you can now see date, time and day in the systemtray with only 2 heights of the taskbar.

- cleaned up some controls.

- changed a few controls to better match the original watercolor style.

I didnt start a new thread because it just isnt that big of an update.

I will also mush this in with the first post in this thread.

What the Future holds for Watercolor :blink: :

*shrug* I have no idea, thats why I need your suggestions and comments, to keep milking the life out of this theme and reach version 5! :)

So please feel free to add comments and/or suggestions to this thread, or you can always email me at:

kmkkid at hotmail.com

Thanks for your support :),

Chris

Hi Binary,

I just downloaded this theme from themexp.org, it's fantastic but I have one niggle.. whenever I maximise a window such as internet explorer I get a small 1-2mm border along the top of the screen wher it doesn't fill, I don't mean maximise with button but when right clicking start bar and tiling a window, maybe i'm just being a perfectionist but it'd be great if you could sort it. :)

thx. great theme.

can't, it's a limitation of the msstyle if you use transparency.

Sorry

    • Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker by Taras Buria FIFA World Cup 2026 is kicking off in the United States later this week, and Opera, a popular cross-platform browser, is making it easier to track matches on mobile. Today, Opera announced a redesigned home page for its Android browser. The new home page is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Users can now customize Speed Dial icons (round, square, or squircle), enjoy a new weather widget with real-time conditions, and open AI Mode or a private session with a single tap. Additionally, the browser now has a built-in football tracker, allowing you to follow your favorite team without using dedicated apps. The tracker displays live scores, notifications, and statistics in a dedicated football hub. You can also check out line-ups, match events, and more. Opera surveyed its users, and 38% of responders said they plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a browser. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 19, 2026. "By providing football fans with instant access to live scores alongside a more considered design, we’re ensuring they are never more than a tap away from the action, even when they can't watch live," said Tim Lesnik, Product Manager at Opera Mobile. For Opera users in the United States, Opera runs a contest, offering them a chance to win tickets to a match in Miami in July, Android smartphones, PlayStation 5 consoles, smart TVs, and Amazon Vouchers. Users can participate by posting on social media with the #OperaFandom hashtag from June 12 or by signing up on the official Opera website. Opera will announce winners on July 3. You can download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store using this link.
    • That definitely doesn’t match my experience with using Outlook. I use the new Outlook with a local account, connected to a email account, that absolutely isn’t connected to a Microsoft account without an issue.   I used Thunderbird/Firebird once, lost some very precious emails and memories, because of the way it stored emails. Swore I would never use it again, it technically wasn’t the fault of Thunderbird, but an extension but the underlying reason it failed was due to the message format.
