Well i thinks thats a perfect idea, this way even if people do like the new design and the all around new changes, we still have the choice of choosing something different from time to time.? I don't know about everyone else, but i really do appreciate this piece of comment by Mr. Fredd...?:p:p

Since I think you missed it:

Unless something changes, the Neowin 3 skins will still be available to choose (along with Classic), so if you decide you're not a fan of 4, you can always go back.?&nbs:yes:es:

This is something Steve and I have discussed and has been worked into the current design;) ;)

It looks alright, I prefer the old one though...I think it's the bevel, looks bad and also in the new one, the border around the circle is kinda jagged.

Just messing around, maybe keep the original look, just make it not look so outdated (gradient wise.)

There's a reason for that... without giving too much away about the design, he's another version:

When we get closer to finish, I'll release a set of logos (half for dark backgrounds, half for light) along with a psd so that people can use the components for what they need. :yes:

I like the new ones much better than the old one. Although I do like that one you posted ealier with less/smoother bevels.

There is one thing though, I think it is an optical illusion but the bottom right hand bit of the white circle seems to stick out more than the top left bit.

Nope... there's been more done to it than that (different style, more of a circle, than the current logo, etc).  :yes:  Here's a side by side of just the logo portion (same size)... Old on the left, new on the right:

All I did to the old was resize it and cut out a circle... the logos are quite similar, and that's on purpose, as I said before, we have our branding to think of.  ;)

that's a really good comparison. the new one is definitely much cooler.

i think 'slick' is the word :)

Dig all of them. :drool: ('Exclusive' & 'Hardware' logos are different; not matching colors. Intentional ?)

This one's going to change too ? :ninja:

lol There's more than just those... I made about 15 or so. ;) All the color changes are intentional, I could have made them exact if I wanted to. About the Editor's Choice... I'll hafta redo more it seems... I did, however, make an Editorial:

:D hehe

@slimy - The colors actually look great on the site. When I made the logo, it was built around the new site, so that's why I say it works so well... you'll see. :yes: The other's are just too different of a shade to work.

I can't say I like it VERY much, but I trust the guys at Neowin. It will sure look WONDERFUL with Neowin 4. And by the way, is the new skin going to be the one leaked WAY back in this thread? ... I'm getting curious now...

wctaiwan

P.S. This thread seems to be going the 'good' way now... :yes:

EDIT: The nodding :yes: looks so cute! :p

how the hell do you leak a skin?!

586425209[/snapback]

Easy!

Step 1. Make new skin.

Step 2. Put picture of it on forum.

Step 3. Wait for people to see it.

Step 4. Watch as other sites use your skin before you release it.

Step 5. Repeat steps 1 - 4.

:p

All I'll say is this:  The new skin has not been leaked to this, or any other, thread.  ;)

I am still kind of curious whether Long's design was actually used. There was a huge ass thread about it some time ago. Toxikk I believe was working on it as well. Neowin staff was eager to use it.. so the question is.. was it used or not? :huh:

Didn't WinBeta copy one of the new Neowin skin mockups, Flish?

There was an argument about it, and while they say they didn't copy it, a lot of their theme looked very similar to the preview (and was released after we released the preview). The issue has been dropped (so please don't restart it... I don't want to spend my day removing comments and handing out warnings), but yes... you remember right.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

[Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.
