there are a couple things that can't QUITE be done correctly, they can be done, but he probably won't want to, mostly talkin about window borders and toolbar skinning and a tradeoff he would have to make between the two.

anyway, who cares if it isnt exactly the same, you trust bose right? mockups are conceptual, every themer goes through a secondary creative process between mockup and finished style, usually that process involves a whole bunch of editing. and usualy the style ends up being better than it looked as a mockup anyway.

cheers bose

Here is a question.

When you make a vs, how much harder is it to add alternate color schemes? For example, if a vs has two color variants will it be like twice the work, or will it be a piece of cake once the first one is done?

Just curious means this one has about 6 different colors.

Practically speaking, it is twice the work.

Conceptually speaking, there is no work, since all you've got to do is to add a variant. That is maybe the most boring part in making a VS (people like to create, for creation is discovery and self-filled - excuse me if this is not the right word... don't know how to say that in english :unsure: ).

You dont need to change just the color images, depending on the theme you need to change colors and font colors setting plus making shellstyle to that theme (again change images and colors).

you know, I said I wouldn't post here until the thing was done, but I gotta now...

wtf is up with the lightsaber stuff? seriously, I feel like I'm watching a version of sword fish, mixed with star wars, on crack, on a webcam at deviant art.

Ross... I am your father.

On a serious note... how's it coming along Ross? Got any other tastey screenshots for us? You said a week, 2 weeks ago, so we're getting a little anxious. Hope all is going well. Take easy.

    • If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.
    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
