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.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it by Usama Jawad Anthropic has been in the headlines a lot lately, primarily due to its latest revenue and valuation figures, along with its release of its state-of-the-art (SOTA) Fable model. While its flagship product, Claude, may be very popular among millions of users, a lot of them are now reporting memory issues when using the tool. Over on Claude Code's GitHub repository, an issue raised in February has been gaining traction once again. Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once. This happens on each launch of Claude Code even if you plan to use the tool in chat mode only. Several users have upvoted this bug and stated that it's happening on their machine as well. However, it seemingly affects only Claude desktop users on Windows, not customers of the CLI or any other platform. Once the bug is triggered, it also shows a Vmmem process in Task Manager, indicating CPU usage of 0% and RAM utilization of a whopping ~1.8GB. Claude users complain that this process should only spin up when you explicitly launch agent mode or Cowork in Claude, with session files efficiently cleaned up after use. Additionally, they are calling for Claude to gracefully handle the absence of virtual machine-based infrastructure, without compromising on chat performance. It's unclear when this issue originated or what the root cause behind it is, but people are once again actively engaging in the GitHub thread as well as Hacker News. You can also find other technical details and log events over on GitHub. It's unclear if Anthropic will look into this issue, especially since it's already been reported for a few months. However, the bug is also causing major annoyance for users, with many claiming that it has led them to uninstall Claude Code on desktop, as a concrete workaround is not yet known.
