Thank you Kol for this wonderful skin and all the fixes you did! I now use Version 1.4 but I still have this little bug (see attachement). Then I tried the skin ergo vx -> no errors here.

Maybe a sub-style with darker scroll bar (like the compact menu sub-style)? That's my only problem with this skin too...the gripper is just too hard to see.

the scrollbars are almost exactly how they are in Vista, I dont think he'll be changing them.

Yeah I think we get it....it looks like Vista...and after beta testing I'm sure the feedback to MS will be to tweak the scrollbar colors (don't ask me how I'm sure of that)...anyway, that's why I suggested a sub-style. The Vista "purists" can use the hard to see original, and the rest of us can get something a little easier to see.

I was wondering how you get the Vista icons into this theme. I have downloaded them from a different site and added them with IconTweaker, but I was just curious if there was another way people have added them. Also my navigation buttons didn't change (still green) and not blue like in some people's screen shots. And I'd like to add that the scroll buttons are hard to see but considering all the work you've done, and you wanting it to look just like Vista, I won't ask for a change. Great theme

Would be an idea to turn off the glow effect on buttons that is inactive...

Look at the attachment!

that's possible?

I know it's blasphemy, but could someone make a thinner version? Those MS themes are so massive you almost need a 21"LCD ....

Im not going to create a thinner version. Sorry.

I don have any problem running it at my 17" :D

yes the glow on inactive buttons is possible. I've encountered them myself.

No Im not talking about if the glow is possible on the inactive button and talking about removing it. I havent found where, if there is a setting, to remove it.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
