I would love if someone could send me the msstyle version and any other graphic related file of the PDC build. That way I can make an accurate uodate of the theme. I think the PDC version use other scroolbar image. Now the people that keep posting about the scrollbar will be happy.

Hi great style, I have been using it for a while now. I am wondering if you plan make a version with the new start/logo button. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...158&t=372677&s=?

Ok then. Do you not like it? I kind of like it, it's a bit different though.

edit. The colour is a bit off, if I was to do it I would change the blue to a......... don't know something else and not dull the flag colours.

Is not that I dont like it, It looks cool but take a look at my post here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry586531646

Ive seen this thread. A start button like this one is not very usable in XP, You need to create a bigger taskbar with the top part transparent to be able to create a startbutton like that plus when you maximize a windows it wont cover the part trasparent part of the taskbar. And Im not really sure if that I told you is possible hehe, I've never try it.

Ok. Thats a shame. I didn't get to page 4 so I missed your post.

It looks ok when flush with the top of the bar, if you excuse my photoshopping.

not yet, I'll wait until the Vista PDC version get released to see if the theme need updates. I havent see anything new in the screenshots. Maybe I'll change the name Longhorn "5203" to something VistaXP or XPVista.

Hey thanks for the reply Kol. (Y) I really like your work on this. :) Maybe you cold include the total package where the logon and off screens are changed too. Just a thought.

I'm using another version at the moment only cause I like certain aspects yours is missing. But I think your version works a lot better.

The new release looks great! Nice work Kol! Some of the problems I've encountered with 1.5 are fixed. :)

Too bad the scrollbar problem is still there with Firefox. I know it's not the theme's fault because upon closer inspection and comparison with other browsers, it would seem that Firefox displays it differently. :s

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
