@em3

have you ever thought about having the borders of the windows more like Vista?

also their is a big bug in LE4, the caption buttons are too much to the top of the window bar, yet the whole bar underneath when hovered highlights the button above, i think it would be cool if the buttons where centralised and the link area reduced to the same size as the buttons.

If I understand you correctly, then that is not a bug. The graphics for the titlebar buttons need to be that size so it can achieve the "glow effect" that appears to spread to other parts of the titlebar. This is a limitation inherent to MS visual styles. AFAIK, Windowblinds 5 is not affected by this as it uses a different method of skinning the OS.

yeah I was thinking about reluna's color for that part... but I remember it as gray, not as blue...

I've made this request before and respect em3's desire to retain the beige color, if he indeed still holds that position. However, I do a lot of graphic work in Windows and need a more neutral color for my application widgets so that it doesn't skew what I see while using say, Photoshop.

I took a stab at altering LE3 and LE4 so that they have gray toolbars. I really like the results, but I've not had time to do a complete job. If LE5 still has the beige treatment and if it's indeed em3's last theme for XP, then I might invest the time in the mod. For my use alone, of course.

Does anyone else get a bug in the progress bar with the current version of this theme? If a downlaod window has a window overlapping it (over it), the progress bar will go to 100%, but if you move the overlapping window, and click the download window to bring focus to it, the progressbar goes back to its right position.

then why are you telling us? :p

If em3 doesn't do the job himself, I'll stay with beige (though).

how can that be called LE5 then? just LE4 with fancys bits... :unsure:

Well that picture is from page 95 which was from a couple weeks ago, he's been making a lot of progress, since then. em3 I believe also said he had done various mockups of alot areas he wanted to change that he hasn't implemented yet.

I would assume at this point, he's in the process of applying those mockups to the actual theme, he's a busy guy though, so give him time, he'll give us an update when he's ready. The 5.0 name will be worthy of this update, dont worry. Be patient! :)

My guess is in 1 or 2 weeks.

you know in major league, when the dude abstains from sex to have better game? dude, tell you're girlfriend she better lay off; you have a respectful audience waiting.

:laugh:

But you know we'll all still be here whenever you get around to releasing the piece.

[do you think that people will stop asking when it's coming out? no? me neither.]

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I have not verified if any of the fixes mentioned on the below article actually work. Why Claude Code Eats All Your RAM (And How to Fix It) There are at least four separate things that can eat your RAM, and only one of them is your fault. The Four Culprits 1. Bloated Session Logs (The Silent Killer). For 2-4 and more inluding the suggested fixes, see link https://marceloretana.com/blog...aude-code-eats-all-your-ram

      One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.

      Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD.

      One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
