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! ;)

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
