Background on why I started this poll, quoting myself from a mozillazine.org thread:

Bug# 303806 [Firefox] - Wallpaper patch for better appearance on Windows XP / Luna [Win]

  • It is hideous on XP Classic, Windows 2000 and Win 98.
  • Javascript console was forgotten to be patched
  • as well as a bug with the sanitize settings window (See Bug# 303806 Comment# 83)
  • Most business/schools still use Windows 2000 and even a lot of businesses use XP with classic menus. The company I work for runs XP with classic menus and we have roughly 110,000 computers worldwide. Granted all of them don't use Firefox but the majority of our U.S. officies do.

IE is always brought up because we want somewhat consistent UI. screw it and do it how we want and what looks best for us...not what IE has already has set in place.

M$ can't/couldnt even keep all menu toolbars same size and all highlight boxes same size throughout all of there programs so why should be try to be consistent with one of those programs be it IE or notepad when they are all differerent anyways.

I've also blogged about this here to try and get this out there.

Now the reason I created this poll is to find out based on Neowin's member what OS you guys use (windows only) and which theme you use...be it classic or non-classic (ie. Luna or a variant).

Please post like this

1) Windows OS

2) Windows Classic or a Luna/non-classic theme

Thanks for starting this supernova, I got a week off for speaking out...but it had to be done. They just lost a tester for a week since I can't post...and may just quit testing altogether.

I agree...I can't wait till the stuff 'hits the fan' in the morning or later tonight.

1. Windows XP Home

2. Non-Classic (Luna Element 4 first time not using Luna for XP, seems funky now)

sorry for what happened Littlemutt, but please don't quit altogether, I've seen some of the stuff you have done by following the nighly threads.. Don't let a few ruin your fine work for us all.

sorry to hear that littlemutt. ya, the crap will hit the ceiling tomororw. Like i stated in my post on mozillazine, most users on mozillazine and neowin are powerusers with good computers and XP and since they are powerusers they tend to change themes so really the majority of the 2000/Classic users don't have a nightly with the half-ass hack yet.

I would like to see some before after shots too. I didn't really see a huge difference myself. A little extra padding and some shadows being left off. Seems like a lot of fuss over seemingly small things. Please don't take that as me not agreeing. I don't like the extra padding myself. But I still think a side by side shot of the difference will help peeps.

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com

      I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
