em3, you do excellent work. I'd hate to have you make another shellstyle, but here is a bug I came across:

Go to User Accounts in the Control Panel. Then, go to Change an account and Pick an account to change. The fields are all blank. Also, the text "Learn About" and "Related Tasks" have darker blue backgrouds.

There is also some fields blank in User Accounts >> Create a new account.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Damn...Bug confirmed on mine too :(

Your preview lets me think that your next VS will be perfect. I am like a child before Christmas :) , I can't wait ...

There are many comments and it's a little bit hard to clearly understand what you will do (colors for your VS, a Vista version perhaps, etc.)

Could you please update your first post so that we can easily follow your work ?

Could you also give a us raodmap in order to know when your VS will be available ?

Thanks a lot em3 and congratulations for your work !

Shellstyle updated, hopefully for the last time. :p

There are some stuff that can't be fixed though, so don't report it.

* The backgrond color behind the orange text on the left side can't be transparent.

* If you click on the Guest Account there will be note in the top left of the window saying that the accound is not activated. Couldn't find where to edit the text color.

* If you click on Create New Account there is a blue line right above the buttons. Couldn't find where to edit the color.

@peyronnx: Ok, I'll try and fix that. :D

EDIT: Shellstyle moved to first page.

Edited by em3
Here is a preview of the new checkbox. I like it. :D

Slick! :D

Just curious (and nervous), what did you settle for when it comes to the system tray, the beautiful indented one or the more standard gradient one? (Yep, not hard to tell which one I preferred) ;)

If I understand well the Start button will be changed in the final release. Am I right?  :D

The Start button in the latest screens is the only thing that looks ugly to me.

yep that's what he said, but expect a vistaish one in turn of it since em3 is going all out vista on this vs...

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
