People should be making these choices links to be honest, otherwise who cares to read through it and then search the internet for an hour.

Yeah really...I mean I actually had to go to the front page and click on Enter The Forums. Then I had to drag my mouse all the way over to that search box (my hand is still killing me) and type the name of the VS that I was looking for. Man, I've never been soo worn out in my life.

:rolleyes:

1. VistaXP by KoL - Black with grey text

2. VistaXP by KoL - Silver Normal

3. Luna Element

I don't have 3 so my favorite gets listed twice with different color variations

On the VS side:

1) Luna Element 4 - a great mix of good looks, usability, and it fits in with many or all applications running on XP

1a) Luna Element 3 - Also a good VS.

2) OpusLuna - a great minimalistic skin, taking parts from Luna Silver and adding others

3) Longhorn '5203' (before it was renamed VistaXP) - one of the few DECENT looking LH/Vista ports. Many of them are full of jaggies and inconsistencies.

And before my full time usage of VSes, I was on WB:

1) Luster - one of the few WB skins that doesn't cause many problems with applications. Looks nice, clean, and streamlined.

2) Dogmax - a simple skin with gentle gradients, yet quite usable

3) ChristmasTime - while quite a clunky looking skin (and definitely not for the VS users!), it's lovely for December. For the other 11 months - it looks awkward.

Id have to agree, the only usable le version was v2. Since then, em3 has just been flogging an old skin. I'd like to see something new and original from the guy. I'm sure the creator of "the visual style some say is the best ever" could create something new right? Only time will tell.

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
