Thanks for the feedback (Y)

Spooky, thanks for the bug report, but:

Bit of a pointless comment considering this is the RC1 release, in which I released deliberately to find bugs :?)

Where can I get that application? It seems that the erroneous buttons are because it can't seem to handle them being PNG format.

The combo because are because of the way the app renders them. I'll be trying a technique that sort this out while keeping the style.

Sorry about that comment. The application is called X-Develop, and you can get it from http://www.omnicore.com/. Shouldn't you be using JPG or BMP (or whatever Luna has)? What about the firefox combo boxes? If I remeber right, you didn't care about the Mozilla products when I asked you to fix OpusOs and Codename: Opus because you didn't use them. But now, Firefox has 10% of the marketshare.

So what if firefox has 10% if b0se doesn't want to fix it then he won't. If it bothers you that much fix it yourself.

Preview of RC2:

i know it can be fixed via tinkering with opera skins, because some display it properly and some don't, but since it only happens on the 'native' skins, i figured there was something you could do with the msstyle that would change this.

any way to get the address bar area to display as solid white, instead of white with the tan border? i tried searching through the msstyle for the exact color (227,223,206) but everything that i turned to 'white' messed with the rest of the theme in bad, bad ways :(

Yes, of course. Like I said, I only used Opera because it renders combo's properly. I will more than likely change the combo box style to suite Firefox this time around though.

Firefox and et al support native windows themes. It's just that they may assume some values (some pixel size, file types). Some themes that use the Luna values and change everthing, are displayed right. Kol's Luna mods are displayed right, for example. Even MS Office 2003 has problems with combos when b0se's themes are running.

b0se, if you manage to make X-Develop display right, XPM should work with any app. If you choose to test it with X-Develop, you have to restart the app each time you make a change, or it won't update.

This theme is quite fast, usable and is much nicer looking on your system than it looks in the screenshots. This is what the classic mode should look like in LH, for example.

Anyway, i'm very happy with it, it's faster than alot of themes that are "trendier" and it is more usable. Alot of themes are great the first week, but their bugs and general weirdness really annoy after a while.

This complements the default icons and feel of XP very well. I would like to say that the fonts are a little on the small side at 1280 x 1024.

No other themer listens to the feedback as much as I do, and I do not appreciate that sort of comment. I think anyone on this forum will agree also. The fact I've been a keen user of Firefox since its inception just goes to show what you actually (think you) know.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • 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.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
