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.

the candy cane stripe is only when unlocked..

i'm "hoping" to have the msstyle completed within the next few days, i've decided that i will release it before i port to WB to make sure i get as many bugs fixed as possible.

*NOTE* there will be a compact menu, however there will not be any fat, thin, thick, skinny taskbars... it is what you see.. no more sizes or colors.

I'd say the Xmas theme on my site is very useable Joe, i must never have sent it to you.

Mmmm. It's not so bad either. However, I think you could've used a different font; using a Times New Roman-like font is horrible looking for a GUI.

In my opinion, I liked the older shot better. No stars in the Start Menu makes the thing look kind of plain. I'd prefer to keep the snow at the top, remove the stars at the top, but keep the stars at the bottom. Also, I favour coloured window borders. Makes everything look like one piece instead of a separated window border/titlebar.

These are only my suggestions; I cannot speak for the others who may appreciate these changes.

The tabs and buttons look fine, though. :yes:

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
