You are the best KoL. :yes:

Thank You. :beer:

ok....I have a little suggestion if that's ok....I'm using the Silver version ATM and it's great. However when there is a button on the taskbar for example my Firefox on the taskbar right now, the text displaying is also a shade of gray therefore making the text very hard to read...maybe you can change it to another color?

Great update. At last the eye killing blue toolbar backgrounds are gone. :yes:

Yeah I also noticed that. That's what's preventing me from using the silver version.

Awesome! I love it... except this one thing...

...the tabs. I just think they're so ugly. Everything is crisp and clean and then the tabs have ugly gradients :| The selected tab is crisp and clean but the others in the background just look silly :p

I hope people agree with me on this :whistle:

I just realised it could only affect the grey text version..?

Thanks :)

much better....if you can make it stand out just a TAD bit more, it would be perfect..thanks for the work kol

I uploaded a little update.

Silver version, context menu (launch bar menu or, Windows Explorer right click on a file): the text is rather light, this give the impression like all menu items are disabled.

Can you make the text darker? How about making it black?

I dont think Im going to change that, sorry. I like it that way. You can tell the difference, is not the same color.

You can change it yourself. Right click on the desktop, then click properties. Go to Appearance and click Advanced button.

Then on Item Combo Box click Menu and change the color on Color.

Good Job... A few things:

- This theme needs a better shellstyle. A longhornish horizontal shellstyle would be great.

- Right now it seems like the Windows Explorer Menus doesn't fit at all with the theme when the black theme is selected... They need to have a background. Silver version is fine.

Hi KoL,

Excellent VS. Very usable.

Apologize if you have already addressed this, but would you be working toward a fix for the minimise-close buttons in Photoshop CS2? :)

586241246[/snapback]

I cant fix. I assign nagative values to the caption buttons to create it the way they are. If I fix that I'll mess up the caption buttons

Keeps getting better and better kol.

Thanks for your great work.

The only glitch I can find is the status bar under and overdraws, I captured it on an installation, its noticeable in nero on the burning status bars as well.

Yeah I know that. let me see what I can do.

And I'm sorry again...

the buttons in opera... is it a bug or a feature ;)  :p

I dont see anything wrong. :huh:

KoL, I don't know if you have Microsoft Office 2003, but check out MS Word with your visual style... everything is gray. It isn't really usable that way.

I'll post a screenshot tonight when I get home from work.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
