i have no problems at all...all the new features work fine

the shutdown dialog is properly shown. it is not shown after i change to horizontal shell.

i think we got to remove previous version of vista xp skin from window blinds. at least in that way, it works fine for me.

Could any1 test a bug out for me?

Procedure:

Have auto-hide taskbar on

Strech a window all the way down to the taskbar ( make it so a bit of the transperent window shows )

hover over the hidden taskbar ( to make it appear )

then go back to the window

Do you guys see a weird section behind the tiny bit of transperent window left???

Tis a sad day :cry: ...but why now? seems kinda odd MS let the skin go for so long then stop it all of the sudden, I would of thought they'd be happy it was so well liked? :wacko: oh well guess they just don't see it that way and only see the "dark" side of it...

Well that makes sense since this is for non-profit. You shouldn't be allowed to use styles unless you buy them directly from Microsoft at a ridiculous cost with DRM laden throughout it. They should add this to their multi-million dollar television campaign of how many things you can do with windows...

Sorry to hear about the shutdown, the skin was and is a masterpiece. Still, I'll bet you've got some good ideas for an all-new type of theme... and I'm sure we'll be right here for whenever you get to it.

A big thank you for all the hard work you put into the skin! :heart:

yea i dont see how they can do this.all these other people can submit thousands of window skins but KoL makes one that is astounding and all the sudden MS wants to put thier foot down, whjat right do they have to do that. there is nothing illegal about it, heck even stardock gives you the apps to build your own skin..i owuldnt listen they have no right.

:( Not good, just glad I got the 3.1 in time then :( as you've already heard time and time again its an amazing piece of work KoL and will still be on many peoples desktops for quite a long time :yes:

It is very bad news indeed. I did manage to grab 3.1 last night thankfully, and I have to say it's amazing.

I can only assume that MS have requested it's removal as it was getting far too close to vista itself, which is only credit to Kol if thats the case.

Sorry everyone I finally got the e-mail from Microsoft today. I had to remove the skin :(

Please do not redistribute this skin anymore.

I'm sad and ****ed off. Luckily I was among the lucky batch to grab the 3.1 yesterday. Thank you Master for all the effort since the Longhorn days.

Could you give us the rights over the skin so that it could continue to improve?

I'm sad because you're the best but hey...we have to do with MS's $$$

It would be cool if some anonym people would continue it on another name.

At the moment, I make copies of my version 3.1 on my computer...

Sad day for us...

Sorry everyone I finally got the e-mail from Microsoft today. I had to remove the skin :(

Please do not redistribute this skin anymore.

I think you should remove "Vista" from the name and continue developing the skin.

Plus, didn't you make the graphics in the skin on your own?

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
