I actually don't see a problem with what Microsoft did. They aren't trying to stop creativity or even third-party themes, otherwise they would have sued the UXTheme hackers or otherwise. They are only concerned with KoL's work because it is understandable to think his themes infringed on their copyright.

I guess its unfortunate that they did take action, but it is certainly not wrong or even harsh.

Well what I though and still think is that when people want to buy a microsoft os they want to buy it for the performance more than the visual style (well most people anyways), I would of though microsoft would let this slip since other have tried to create skins like vista and Kol was the best one to do it plus the gap of time (5-6 months? I forget)

But I can understand why they want to take it down, doesn't mean I like them forcing him to take it down!. :(

congrats Kol. you made a beautiful recreation of vista and MS took notice. i think thats a pretty big deal.

look forward to anything you create in the future, im sure it will only get better.

Does that mean no more vista shellstyle that is seen in the windowsblind version? Those shellstyle looks awesome!

The latest one is with the coloful flag start button. The white colored flag is the old version.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
