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? :)

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.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
