bug: screencapturing the window itself (via alt+prntscrn) reveals that the window margin for the top bar is somewhat off. I havent looked into what it could be, but what I believe is happening is that youve set a few rows of pixels on the top to be transparent, instead of changing the margin of the top bar. Anyways, here's a screenshot (look at the top of the window):

Yep, it's the same bug as in Watercolor Lite 2.1.1, see here.

The author of the VS doesn't seem to be interested in fixing bugs anymore... :(

Im using Windows Extra Large fonts. There is a minor issue with it.

With the Luna theme on normal size fonts the title bar is one size. With every increased font size comes a wider title bar (and consequently, bigger minimize/maximize/close buttons) to accomodate the larger text.

Im not sure if this is related to using Extra large fonts, but the top of the window doesnt seem to want to give me the mouse cursor to expand the window. Its only on the top side of the window. The other 3 sides are fine.

AIM 5.9.3828 seems to have some issues.

Not msstyles anyways. I still update Watercolor for Windowblinds internally, and I have a couple other skins near completion, but they require features that wont be out till Windowblinds 5.

As for the titlebar bug, it was the only way to stop the mozaic in the titlebar from stretching. If someone now has a fix for that I'd be happy to install stylebuilder and fix it. But I'd highly recommend people switch to using my WB version as it's more complete, usable and virtually bug free.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
