-Changed Color Schemes Desktop backround colors to windows default ones like Luna Blue, Olive Green, Silver and Windows Classic for Ergonomic

-Fixed font Bug with Watercolor Blue in eMule

New Update

-Changed button Size - made them 1 picsel smaller, the same size as MS Luna Style has, to fix invisible border of buttons in Total Commander, mIRC and some installers i've seen. There could be more programs like these with reserved buttonspace.

Thx for this modify theme cekes! :D

I just try it and I must say that this theme need some fix.The taskbar start button and system clock not fit to taskbar-the taskbar is to big,also selected item is to much white and I like to ask about empty space around windows in Opera,why this appear?but i like start panel,keep up this work. :D

Look this picture

Just an FYI.

I'm a Mac user now (new Intel imac yay!) So I WILL NOT be working on watercolor ever again. So anyone is free to mod the theme files to their liking and distribute, just give a little credit for the work I have done on it in the past. :)

Thanks for what you've done and for making this beautiful theme available for modding, but I doubt it will be improved. :wacko:

I have a few things.

Cekes, can you add a violet color scheme to your mod? There was one in Watercolor Lite, but not in your mod of it.

Can someone repost the links for the matching Winamp and Trillian skins?

I'm going to make Sysmetrix and Rainlender skins for all the colors, based on Acrylator's Energy Blue & Energy Dark themes, but with the Watercolor visual style instead.

would like to see these colors if possible... since i really don't ask for other color schemes'

Black

Red

Orange (red and orang would be awsome)

For u watercolor lovers i added some colors and corrected some bugs

Colors:

-blue

-ergonomic

-red

-violet

-olive

-silver

-orange

I also renamed the mod so u can use both the original Watercolor theme as the mod.

Hope u guys like the work i done, i think i'll stop modding this theme as i like how it is,

u may notice some bugs and i know there are ...but as for now i'm done with it ....getting tired :rofl:

I'd like to thank Chris aka Binary for letting us mod this theme!!! this theme rocks

You made a great work on this mod Cekes! I'am using it right now and I must say:I like it!

Now this style with some new stuff and a smaller taskbar just made it better for me,sorry Binary but this a little smaller taskbar just fit to my small monitor :D

I ask Cekes about of the space between the windows in opera browser,but we are not find the fix,maybae Binary can tell something about this,becouse this is really strange,some styles have this empty space and the other not.The classik windows theme fit perfect to Opera when use multiple windows view :o

Thanx for your work and I hope you not stoped to work at this mod :no:

Here is my mirror for your moded theme and will be up some time :D

Cheers!

What do you think about creating the same Watercolo Mod theme (the design is perfect), but with the possibility of changing the color of the taskbar?

With this clear color, or a little grey like this (like the base Watercolor theme)?

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
