@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! :)

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.

      Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.

      I am also on latest experimental with possible insider flags on and aiming in settings for 26h1.. Also see just this wasted space. I do love "movable" small taskbar though but would love more if it had date next to it now just time.

      Does not make it more readable for me though. The majority of your screenshot is just pitch black.
