You guys are in for one hell of a surprise. This recolour will take a few days (maybe even a week), but it will sure as hell be worth the wait. Trust me on that :?)

I'd like to but I already have too many ongoing projects to complete to start a new one. I may make one someday, but don't expect it any time soon. :/

I already made a StylerToolbar theme for it (using it now actually) which you can find a preview of here. Ross has the theme and has said that it will be in the next release.

As for the Firefox theme, it's coming along nicely. Still need to figure out a few things, but I hope to finish it later today or tomorrow. :D

I may buy that StylerToolbar actually - looks quite nice. Can you add your own buttons?

One thing normal Explorer misses is a 'New Folder' button on the toolbar (Yes I know its in the shellstyle - but I hate shellstyles). Can you add one with ST?

You can't add your own buttons, but you can reposition/reorganize the buttons by editing a theme's ini file.

Update on the Firefox theme:

I started over because I was using a safari firefox theme as a base and found that that wasn't the look I really wanted (except for the attached back/forward buttons). I started over using Qute as a base, replacing only the toolbar icons.

I had 2 different styles I was going to include with the theme. One with the slightly darker button hover states, and another with blue hover states. Couldn't figure out which one to leave in, but figured out how to leave both. :D

Switching from large <-> small icons will keep the same buttons but switch between hover states (hope that makes sense).

I still have a few more icons to replace, but I should release it by the end of the week.

I like the screenshots but I cannot download it. DA :angry: doesnt seem to let me download the file correctly. All i get is a gif file in the .rar file i dowloaded. Could someone email me the theme so that I can try it out?

Much appreciated and thanks in advance...

WA and Trillian skins are all underway; patience, grasshopper :?)

586241674[/snapback]

you have no idea how happy it makes me to see a beautiful theme like this be rounded out by a full 'scheme' of skins like wa and trillian.

i can't wait for the final release:DD

*wonders how tricky it would be to make a matching bb4win style*

I wasn't going to show you this until the final release, but I see no harm in wetting your appetites.

What I (purposely) failed to mention is that XPMC is actually going to be a VS Suite. Not just colour variations - but multiple style variations, but all following the basic 'ruleset' for design that you see with the XPMC you are using.

The style you see in this preview is XPMC Induztry - a dark theme with black widgets (check the taskbar out for example). I have a PSD prototype for the third variation (XPMC Cell) but you're not seeing that. I may make a fourth, all depends on the timescale, as I'm uber busy.

Each style will have Normal/Compact versions, plus its own colour variations. Oh yes, XPMC v1 will be a beast of a release :?)

Click me.

Before you ask: No, you can't have it (yet):pp

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Yay, a forced new tab telling everyone edge just updated with a load of advertising in it twice as often as we currently get it. That'll never be abused. 😏

      I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
