looks great man, love that creamy coffee goodness. couple old "tricks" (uhh, for their time? heh) were brought back in this one and i'm diggin em, definitely classic, one of the best themes ive seen from anybody in a very long time. its too bad none of these ever stay on a desktop for very long, not mine anyway.

minor trouble w/ the explorer toolbar dropdown buttons... just a shadow inconsistency, dunno if it really detracts from the experience.

wordemup, good work

It is a great theme, and the start menu is perfection. My only problem is with the menu colors. By that I mean the bit behind the buttons. It is this dirty brown color [pic 1]. Personal preference I know, but I prefer if it would be white, or near white like the Mono Blue substyle in HmmXp [second pic]. Of course there will be those who say just use Mono Blue instead. But I can't be the only person who doesn't like that drab color on an otherwise excellent skin can I?

Keep up the good work though.

Thanks for the feedback :?)

Huge taskbar? I've been using Windows Classic, they are the same size. I guess I'd forgotton the size of most thin taskbars! I'll shrink it down on the compact version, along with the start panel.

For those who don't like the colour, RC1 isn't about colour - there will be a normal light grey version out in time.

Dude...calm down bose... cant u tell thats tongue in cheek?..look at his AV and title under it ..LMAO..hilarious , its just making fun..

altho.. i have bought a couple of his. I can see the work that goes into his Visual themes.

Seriously this is ok but its not much different in any one area than all the other Classic modifications.

Joke detector not working first thing in the morning after 4 hours sleep!

I don't expect everyone to like this. I'm not one for shine, gloss and hard gradients - a style favoured by W.

lol....sorry man, i couldnt help myself, i take so much **** around here its not even funny sometimes, i just like to have a little poke once in a while to keep me on my toes. We do have different styles , fortunately theres enough people that do like shine and glass and grads to keep me making more for my site. Think i may have a gander at making something Classic'y myself tho, way away from the norm for me, but u got me goin now so what the hey.. Perhaps u can come and hassle me when i post a screeny :p

Best of luck man.

Thanks :?)

Can you be more specific on the bug? I'm not sure where you mean (I'm at work so I cannot check).

thanks b0se, really appreciated..

2 bugs are the min/max/close button bug mentioned before

and the other one, the arrow looks off in the program menu , here is a screenshot:

I'm not getting that bug, arrow fits into the green hover bit just fine.

I am however getting the Firefox folder toolbar bug that someone mentioned earlier: 725buh.png

I'm also getting it a little in explorer too: 725e3a.png

I think the text on the programs start of the start panel would look better white with the mousover being dark but, with what you said about the inactive caption buttons you probably prefer how it is now so never mind, heh. :blush:

There was some other stuff but either someone already covered it or I just forgot, oh, and the Photoshop buttons looks good, heh. (Y)

Edited by Tsumana

Thats odd murderdoll, it is fine this end...

Tsumana, I will get onto those also, it should simply be the toolbar button content margins (probably all at 0). It is much easier to bug fix when people provide images, thanks to all (Y)

What do you guys/gals think of the Blue startpanel + green start menu item combo? I like the splashes of green used throughout the theme, breaks up the blue and keeps it fresh.

FYI: Might be a Winamp skin on the way...

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
