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...

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
    • Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem.
