Here it is.. before you look at the screenshot... remember that it's a WIP...and try not to be thrown off by the extremely bright colors, as the theme is actually very usable, but understandably ONLY for the holiday season. The reason i made this is because of the lack of Holiday themes...there haven't been any really usable christmas themes ever made to my knowledge, so hopefully this one will last at least through this season.

*side note* before anyone starts saying "it looks like blah blah blah"

I used Luna Element as a base for the theme.. as you can tell by the caption buttons.. and yes, i have permission to do so, and alot of things you see in the screenshot such as button, tabs, tray arrow.. have not been edited yet...

*UPDATES*

Beta 2 - Removed Stars on Caption bars

Edited caption bars for noticeable active/inactive status and added New stars.

Lightened Buttons and Tabs for easier viewing of black text

Added Background images for folders

Changed Scrollbars to more closely match the style

Fixed Glowing text issue being too bright in some areas.

Added New alternative shellstyle.

Fixed Flash button on taskbar to be more noticeable.

BETA 2

*NOTES*

you MUST install the included font before using, or your name on the start panel may be all screwy. Also, please PLEASE post any bugs you find here so i can get the final release completed.

also... a post of the logon that i completed.. will be included in the final version.

I actually like it.  The colors and theme work for me.  I hope you find the guy so you can use the icons.

i know.. i can't locate his email or anyone that knows his email or any contact info at all. And i really hate to remove the image in the shellstyle because it fits so well.

That is one of the cleanest and most usable holiday themes I've ever seen. Nice job :yes:

That's what I thought to. I don't think the colors are to bright, they seem really good. Would be cool to see some snow someware though, might be to much to ask, difficoult to do, so don't take it as a request.

yeah i thought about that.. i just don't want it turning out to be like a cluttered WB theme... but i'll mess around with it and see what happens.

I've been looking for a good christmas theme and I've found it in this one! Anyone know when it's going to be released?

there is no set date yet.. but i've been working pretty steady on it.. once i finish, then i have to port it to WB... i dont want to set any expectations other than a few weeks before christmas at the absolute latest.. but then again it could be next week.. i'm not really sure, but as i said, because there are no xmas themes available of good quality.. i kinda want to make sure this one does the job and has a long life...

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use some unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
