Thanks Kol for reposting, and how about making your own silver compact version of this theme with your tray arrow and DoS compact start menu? I think this theme with this setup in silver would also rock.

btw modifying the shell to Mad_Griffith's Shell Style would also be nice :yes:

No problem everyone :)

@Ely: Sorry, I'll not create mods of this theme, just the little tray arrows. I think the theme is perfect the way it is now. :)

I understand, I would love my set up in silver though :( BTW Kol your homepage is the most professional, slick and beautiful looking web site I have seen in a while, keep up the good work.

Hi, just to let you know that I'm almost ready with the Black Shellstyle (I also fixed the Blue Shellstyle), but I have a slight problem in finding a part of code. I'm talking about the one which regards this (which I accidentally made right editing the Black Shellstyle :p):

You missed a couple of things in your release. Mick could prolly help ya with this as he originally had the same issue with his shellstyle.

Don't know if you folks have seen the BriscoPacks but it helps makes this a VS a complete suite.

It can b found here: http://crystalxp.zerackiel.net/bricopack-vista-inspirat.php

Here's a screenie of the icons it installs along with Yz Toolbar:

Yeah! I told it almost 20 pages ago... :laugh:

Good choice, Tweaker :D

@ denzilla: I'm sincere. I want to make the sstyle complete. :yes:

I have to say that they are the coolest caption buttons I have seen in a while, especially when pressed.

However I would make the close button only red on hover. Also no compact start menu? A vista style progress bar would have made this theme lovely. The last thing is that I would make the titles on the control panel (e.g. Pick A Category) orange too like is used in the shell style. But that's my opinion...

I have to say, whether you listen to my opinion or not, this is a terrific piece of work and I commend you on it.

The Compact Start Menu is available on LE4.2a, when @Display---->Appearance--->Look at the Font Options where it gives the Compact Start Menu Choice...

em3 had inquired earlier in this long thread about*how* to implement this in a 'more clear way' within the msstyle but thus far no answers...

The part that needs editing in the shellstyle is "CPWEBVW.CSS"

Note though that you cannot use images in these parts, it just colour codes all the way...

Have fun getting your hands dirty! ;)

As always, I refer to this page:

    • 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.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
