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.

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

      You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      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.
