I was thinking to use the Vista Flag in the start button and not the ugly white flag. What do you think??

Much better than the white version. (Y)

Edit: I just used LE4's start button on VistaXP and it fit's and look's perfect with the theme. (Y)

Yeah, i think it would look really good and keep with the movement of vista if you used the new startbutton.

Really cant wait for this update! This is seriously the best theme out there! Thankyou so much for all your hardwork Kol

The problem with the second start button is that it will only look good with bottom taskbar and only one line in the taskbar. Top, vertical and two or more lines in the taskbar wont look nice.

@Razor: Testing it right now and it looks nice :)

I'll include the Vista Flag in the starbutton. About the round button, I'm not sure if Im going to include it.

I think, it`s not m necessary to make a separate substyle for the alt startbutton...so don?t include this one, the theme is also perfect without this round one...

btw. writing while being drunken isn?t quite easy..:wacko:o:

I think that looks good, the vista flag does look better, but I don't think I like it too much in the standard start button. It looks better on the round button. I think the current white flag goes with the text. :unsure: :whistle:

is there any possible way that you could make a version of this with a smaller taskbar.. what i mean is height wise, i was just so used to using another theme with the taskbar being a lot less higher then this one, and i got really comfortable with it. I absolutely love this VS but the only thing that bugs me is the height of the taskbar. So if you could please make a version of this with a more compact (thin) taskbar i would love you forever lol.

thanks in adv.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
