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.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
