Thanks Winswy.

@ Komplexnous and NemesisNG, could you please dl the file here and give me feedback on the cut startbutton issue, also maybe try different display sizes 800x600 and higher to see if it's still there, thanks.

The start button really is smooth for other people? Wow, NemesisNG and I have something set up that is out of whack, huh!?! LOL :laugh:

The new file has the same problem. I am running WinXP SP2 @ 1280x1024 (60Hz, which doesn't matter on the ol' LCD). I tried other resolutions (and quite a few other things...including using the default Segoe UI as the font), and the problem is still present. Also, yes the problem is only with the thin taskbar substyle. The fat one is perfect (but I would rather have a chopped start button than a fat taskbar ;) ). Thank you for trying to fix this problem, jemaho!!! (Y)

loved the theme, first one i've ever tried, but it was enough to convince me to give alternate "non-default" themes a try.

did a notice a probelm on my end with Pictures folders that use the film strip

the icons are closed off and there's no way to widen it. you're forced to scroll to see all of the icons. i'm using StyleXP if it makes a difference, and i did not install the Styler toolbar. also, turning off the statusbar doesn't make a difference (although it does make the window prettier)

Jem is there any chance of making the start button just a little bit bigger as it looks squashed? ( sorry to say it but KoL's start button is perfect)

Great theme mate, only other thing I'd beg you to do to this is to add the large longhorn folder icon jpegs that appear in the bottom right hand side of the 'My Music' & 'My Pictures' folders etc to the shellstyle.

/me prays you'll consider 'em :)

Hi guys, update is almost finished, it will correct all the bugs that have been reported so far, it will have an Y'z toolbar for those not having Styler, the demanded wallpaper + a new substyle called Milkaero (white borders have given the name) of which I give you now a full preview, comments and feedback on this one are appreciated as I planned to release the update in a few hours.

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
