well, only now i realized that with 50/50 it should be pretty hard to obtain the glassy look like you had on the light version.

anyway a couple sugestions...

- make two "borders" like on the attached pic.

- make the skin in different colors like the first blue one in this [preview]

what do you think?

hey thats from my screenshot :D . i dont think you should release it since its been planned for a release for a long time and its not your original idea and whatnot but i guess you'll have to talk the original author of Moderna and this version (theDeviL) who is waiting to get his laptop back from his sister from a long trip to release it. his site is www.devilstation.com

kidrocky7: it's been like 6 months since that skin has been around and still nothing, besides Plastique has made the graphics in the skin from scratch, why woul he need permission? it's not a rip and it's not even the exact same.

every luna mod author out there would have to get permission from M$, that would be funny.

keep up the great work Plastique!

The guy had plenty of time to release it, and besides, I'm not even claiming that the idea is moine. In the concept is someone elses and I just made it because I wanted to because people here wanted it.

And besides, if you want to worry about copyright and such, feel free to head over to the wallpaper section and start reporting about 99% of the threads there.

Apollo, no offense but first off, the skin is much older than 6 months... and second there's absolutly nothing original on that skin (aside from the rounder edges), the skins name is Moderna, the substyle is Industria. I know because I created it.

I have no problem with people butchering and/or modifying the skin to their liking, *or even releasing it for that matter, as long as I am informed and credited.

Plastique has made a slight modificatin to which some users here can oviously appeal to, and what the hell, if its good let everyone enjoy it. just don't try to pass it off as your own.

I have my reasons for taking so long to release, that all i can say for myself.

Dude, don't be offended by my response or kid's concern for that matter, it's simply that when I shared this skin to a select few, I didn't anticipate for it to get out before my release. I like what you've done, I think it's cool just, at the very least credit the skins true name. you don't have to say "theDeviL's Moderna" just say "Moderna" by some dude I don't know.

As for my time, well, I happen to run a company, and I use to do this on my spare time, I just haven't had the time to spare.

the only reason I called it what I did was because that's what it was called in teh preview. I was going to call it "modern" no matter what because it had the same opacity and such that the moderna skins have, and industria was just for the first reason above. I'll gladly stick your name in a readme, as I never planned on taking any sort of credit for this skin (again I say check the readme, I flat out say the icons are Beginnings and the idea for this skin was not mine).

Next release expect your name in the readme no worries :)

and for the record, I never meant to mena that if you don't put out a skin in X days/weeks/whatever than that lets people have free reign to rip it if they want, I was just stating that it was promised and it wasn't delivered so I took matters into my own hands (like hte luna mods in the VS section and whatnot).

no misunderstandings here, :) it's a great mod, I know people will enjoy!

thanks!

the fonts for the dates were copied (ripped) from the origional modern, thats why they are the size they are.

I don't think I will continue to work on the 50/50 or dark version simply because I don't see them used, nor do i have the desire to do everything 3 times. As I said before, though, since none of this is really "mine", and if you get the OK from theDevil_neo I'll be more than happy to e-mail the psd's for any/all versions. The only thing I ask for is a link back to this thread in a readme if you decide to relase it so that people can know that you are modding my mod of theDevils' :p

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
