This is a small error that I think only pertains to Firefox. I noticed that when I scroll down the scrollbar the blank space above and below overdraws itself 1 pixel outside making it look kind of funny.

I can live with it, but I'll be your mail order wife if its easy enough to fix. :p

We :heart: you kol

Been using it since day one with no change...

And here is another small one I just added. It under/overdraws when the start menu turns into a second frame.

I'll keep this start button. If I make the startbutton to show the word "Start" it will show the xp flag too, and I dont want the theme with that flag. Sorry.

Kol, could you send me the art you used in the WindowsBlinds version for the logoff/shutdown screen? I want to reshack msgina.dll to make my dialogs fit with the theme.

EDIT: Nevermind, took them directly from the WBA file.

I was thinking about create that but I dont know yet.

nice theme... i've been using the black version for a couple of days now, and it's still there... usually i get sick of dark themes in about a day or so...

could use a more polished shellstyle, but other than that it's definitely good... some minor bugs, but nothing major that hinders productivity...

light blue captions take a little getting used to, and i had to change the window background to white... progress bars take some getting used to... my other machine runs the luna elements 3 theme which has just the nicest progress bars... would strongly suggest "ripping these off"...

If I knew how to create a shellstyle that resembles the way it is in Vista, I would do it so people could just replace the shell for the theme. I have done it for the dark themes, but the silver one doesn't look good because the borders for it are black and it looks out of place. Jemaho did a nice job with his version, but I think a few things in the one KoL did are cleaner and more streamlined.

The only disappointment I have with the newer visual styles is that hardly anyone adds the new style shellstyle to them like Jemaho did with his. I prefer having them at the top to give me more window real estate :)

I dont think you'll see one of my themes with top shellstyle. I dont like how it looks. The only theme that I included a top shellstyle was my other port of Longhorn and it wasnt the main shellstyle.

KoL are you planning an update to your VS? or is that it? I'm not complaining, I really like it. With Nvidia transparency and a system tray clock mod, and using iconpackager to do Vista icons, things look really good now.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
