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.

WinXP/Luna

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.

    • Ah well, who needs computers in the next 10... 15 years right? At this point is just money laundering.
    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
