Believe it or not thosse are the radio buttons from Longhorn. I'll try to make the more clean.

Thanks for reporting the bugs :)

I have a bit of a trouble with the title bar text. :unsure:

Other than that I like it better than most LH themes! :D

To solve the title bar text issue for some users like me, I'd prefer a version that stayed even more truthful to the original with light grey titlebars (maybe basically "milky white" bars would look best in this case; your glossy thing on the bars look great btw!), maroon title bar text, having a silver highlight. With title bar buttons styled similar to 5203's.

To summarize, it would be awesome with a style as polished and pretty as this one but a kind of "5203 Classic" look, color-wise! :)

(I have nothing at all to remark on the design itself, it's all gravy :happy: )

Will probably still try it out for a while though. :)

Question: Is the light blue mixed with grey on the menu bar supposed to be like that?

Example open up My Computer and look at the color differences on the menubar

I dont see anything wrong. All the toolbar is blue. except the inactive elements.

The original titlebar color is not light grey, is transparent (when the transparency is not applied I think is black or dark grey) and the title bar text is blue not maroon.

:o Wow this is by far the best Longhorn VS I ever seen!

I found some small bugs... Maybe you can't fix them.

You can move windows with the minimize button. If you position your mouse where the red dot is, the button will stay black and you can move the window.

If you position you mouse where the blue dots are, buttons will glow even if you're not over the buttons.

The blur effects on caption bar is awesome! How did you manage to do that?

hmm weird

I try to fix that but I mess up the caption buttons. Im going to leave it they way they are now. I dont think is a big problem.

I create the effect using shadows. :)

Perhaps this is just a personal preference thing, but is it possible to make the glow on the text for the active titlebar a little more subtle, it seems quite hard to read for me. Fantastic theme though, love the caption buttons as well, I've no idea how you done it, looks excellent though.

      Did Labour lose big? They had losses there is no doubt. However let's look at the reality. The conservatives have 168 councils I believe. Labour have 113 and Reform...38. That's a lot of growth for Reform granted. But that is not a wipeout, Reform don't have the majoring in fact at 76 I believe the Liberal Democrats have nearly twice the councils Reform do. So I am thinking there is a lot more noise than signal going on here. Now then let's talk about the law. It's an age restriction. We do it for cigarettes, **** and alcohol. This idea that some kids will find there way around it so it's not worth even trying is really really sad. Hell we can't stop every murder. Should we stop trying there too? That is the logical conclusion.

      A game not selling doesn't mean the people working on it did "bad work". It reviewed decently well. It was also on gamepass on release.
