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 :?)

Amazing man. Simply stunning. You rock. Period.(Y))

Does that mean also that we will have multiple colour choices for each style, or that each style with have it's own designated colour scheme? And will we have application skins (WinAmp, Firefox, etc.) for each style/colour? :unsure:

This is definately my new favourite theme, b0se. (Y)

ahahhaa, silverfrost - whats that cat got in your avatar?

Trillian and Winamp skins are being made for XPMC. If the authors do not make ones for the alternate styles, I will release XPMC as-is. You're lucky enough to be getting matching skins for the default theme, so if anyone complains about not having them for the alternate styles - they will get a slap :?)

Edit:No>, the caption buttons arenot >changing. They are perfect as they are. There is a balance of rounded and sqaure corners. Like it, or lump it(Y))

    • 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!
