which buttons is the shadow text a problem?

it's supposed to give a glow type effect, and i can't drop that from the theme. And about the start menu with the stars, it just didn't fit to me.. but i'll see if i can do something with it.

View the attachment. The Cancel button's text glow is so bright it's quite difficult to notice the button text, at least on my (rather bright) monitor.

I also noticed another bug: the titlebar text on maximized windows doesn't change at all when focussing/unfocussing a window. Besides that.. it has no shadow effect, compared to non maximized windows.

ok i'll tone the brightness down a bit on the glow effect.. but hear me out here, it glows on mouseover, now when you mouseover a button, do you then magically not know what that button is anymore, even though you put your mouse over the "CANCEL" button...lol

i'll fix it, but you make it sound like you just can't read what the cancel button is, even though you just put your mouse over it..lol

anyway... i'll fix the titlebar text bug also.

Ahaha! You went with the name I suggested :)

One thing I noticed, when you maximize a window the titlebar is blue for a split second. Might want to look into that :)

And other than the big gap between the start button and my quick launch icons, this theme is rockin.

Alright. Thanks for your time in looking after these issues. ;)

I love it man!!, few things:

when a program is flashing on the taskbar its hard to notice, maybe make it flash red.. if you know what am on about.

the only part i dislike, or like the least is the taskbar colour, i think the vs may need another colour somewhere.. like blue.

just an idea.

heres a pic with my own shellstyle:

Excellent theme and i love all the colours any chance of a shellstyle like this one coming with the final version giving us a choice of which to use.

here is an updated visual..

updated caption bars (removed stars) made active/inactive noticeable.

Added alternative shellstyle

Added folder images

lightened the tabs and buttons to make viewing black text easier.

Lowered the glow effect on some text.

changed scrollbars to match the style more.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
