looks good. With the transparency effect, it looks a lot nicer than the opaque ones. When will WB5 be finalized anyway, have they set a target date?

Great progress Kol

But can you add shadows to silver and black version? I think it will be possible to simply turn shadows off by telling windowblinds to "never use per pixel alpha on skins" in troubleshooting section. and for the ones that needs the shadows, they could jst leave as it is.

But anyway, greatest theme and i think stardock should thank you, because a lot of people will switch to wb5 cause of you...

you are talking about the start button right? it is that way.

Pretty Sexy Bro... I can't wait to use the new taskbar after WB5 comes out. Can you get those animations, the fade effect that vista has when you open up a new window... thx :happy:

well that's a matter of opinion coz a lot of people like that look, as that's reminiscent of Vista's shellstyle!

I for one think it looks awesome like that :)

Your immature use of the word gay shows how you are. If you don't like the colors used then use a different color he made.

=============

Keep up the great work KoL. But Windowblinds 5 doesn't like my computer and crashes it every time i try opening it. You going to put that new Start menu and shell style in with just your Visual Style theme?

Yes it is an opinion, I didn't intend for it as a criticism.

I'm sry I'm 17 and I do use the word gay sometimes, because it's my right of opinion to state it. I'm not criticizing anyone, and I did mean the horizontal shell style, I love the rest of the theme. I'm not telling him to change it, I'm just saying it's not for me, that is why I said I will use the theme with out it, since he did say he will "add the option" of this shell, so it'll just be an optional addition. I told my side of the fence and said I won't use it with the shell, I didn't say I won't use the theme or tell him to get rid of it.

I didn't mean to sound like I was taking offense to your post or nething.. I guess I was stating the obvious but I wasn't tryin to sound like I was thinkin you were criticizing in any way. I was more leading in to my view on the horizontal style

I agree with you in that it should be an option, and knowing how it's not too hard to put in different shellstyle options, I'm pretty sure it'll be that way :)

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
