The Neowin patcher v2 somehow stopped working for me. However, if you're lucky enough to find v4 out there somewhere, I was able to patch successfully with that one.

Another simply beautiful theme, by the way. I can't wait to use it. You're possibly one of the most talented graphic designers / themers / artists / whatever that I've ever.. erm.. not really met. Read about? Meh. Regardless, kudos for the wonderful visual style and I do hope you're able to patch successfully.

Great to see you back and working on this once again. Figured real life had taken a hold of you once again. Good luck on your business endeavor. I have wanted to go out on my own for a while now, but like the stability that my current employer offers :)

Thanks for the kind words everyone :?)

I can't get my system patched. I've tried Neowin Patcher versions 2 and 4, both failed (they have never worked for me iirc). I've also downloaded a patched uxtheme.dll and that didn't work either. I've even download XPLite and disabled WFP, and tried the patches, nothing worked.

I used to use a patcher that was on some random site, but I can't find it. Starting to **** me off now, hate wasting time with stuff like this!

Shawn Grimes (Hex) made a patch once, it was on my old W9D Fourm, can't find that either *nnnng*

Well after about 10 billion reboots I managed to get themes working (I used Replacer)...

I can now apply existing Visual Styles, but I can't apply ones I compile from within StyleBuilder. I.am.going.insane.

Edit: Got it sorted now. 2 hours of ****ing about just to get themes working.

Relax, good sir. This VS is very much worth it (though it probably doesn't seem like it to you!).

Glad to see you got it working, by the way.

Sorry Bose, I don't have time to read all 35 pages of this thread..so I hope some of these critizisms haven't been brought up..if they have, I'm sorry.

I love this VS so far, but I see a few things in the mock-up that I think could be better.

1) The "gloss" on the window title bar is the same over the bar, and the min/max/restore buttons, it looks like the buttons are just under a layer sort of, maybe if you offset the gloss a little on the buttons, it wouldn't look like you added the gloss AFTER the buttons. Or maybe if the gloss followed the infered gouge in the title bar where the buttons are, it wouldnt line up so perfectly.

2) I love the taskbar, but would prefer it if the Active taskband melted into the grey strip under it, without the line separating it from the grey bar under the taskbar. Think "display properties tabs"...and how they try to have no distinction between them and the thin bar they attach to.

3) I think the inactive taskband should still have some sort of separation to it, maybe a similar shape to the active, but just a line...that maybe fades out near the grey bar bellow the taskbar...so that it's just sort of hinted at without being conected like the active taskband is. I'm just not a fan of text floating on my taskbar so much...my own personal preference is all.

4) The scroll bar system is too much, maybe too complex...I like the idea, maybe it's too much...it does however go with the rest of the theme, and maybe I'm too simple lol.

As usual man, you're making my next theme, and it looks fantastic...keep up the great work.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This has been on the roadmap for years, nothing really new here. This is one of the few areas where Microsoft is making Windows better. Universal print is a very good things and so far works as expected. The last step is ending the option for 3rd parties to add traditional custom drivers. It is somewhat of a hurdle, but it is for a long-term good. The downside is that printer manufactures are likely going to use this as an excuse to force users onto new printers. Considering this roadmap has been public for years, then printers sold during that time should be covered...but I'm sure they will have a different opinion.
    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Where are you seeing that? It seems hard to believe considering nothing in the Apple ecosystem gets that level of access, and the same for Android unless you put some kind of custom rooted image on the phone. It just seems like asking for something that hasn't ever been given to anyone, is a stupid strategy; it's going to be an automatic 'no'.
