Hmm. I'd say it looks good. Then again, I'm somehow attracted to the style of LE4. :shifty:

I don't know if it's just my eyes being too sensitive to bright colours, but I'd like to see the red and green desaturated a *little* bit. Other than that, I guess it definitely works for a usable Christmas theme. I mean themes like ChristmasTime are quite different and unique for Christmas, and those who get used to that WB skin find it lovely. But for casual VS users... in your (bubbabyte) words, it's too clunky.

Whatever you do to this theme, follow the principle LE4 uses: a VS with an equal balance of good looks and usability. ;)

BTW: off topic, but I find it funny how you use the new IE7 icon for Firefox. :rofl:

Looks very nice. However I do like the simpler snow that was posted on the first page.

Also, it would be nice to see a thin titlebar version, like the LE4 Compact substyle.

The only other thing is the glyph for Shutdown and Logoff don't look like they are quite centered in the circles properly.

Hope to see this before Christmas, as we could all use a GOOD Christmas Visual Style for our computer ;)

I think some "simpler" snow would be better on the start panel. Also is the canydy cane style stripped part on the task bar for when its unlocked? Cause that would make sense, but if that there when its locked, it looks out of place and pretty ugly IMO, Id prefer to have it out to keep teh task bar cleaner looking.

The theme is definitely coming along very nicely though, I think Ill be using it come December.

    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
