Did I say anything about it being awful that its an msstyle? Not really... and if it could be interpreted that way it shouldn't be msstyles are cool.

I am just running WB5 here and I'd like to use its enhanced stuff to render this awesome style.

More memory useage, inablity to change color to anycoler you want

msstyles are better than windowblinds any day. I can just "feel" the difference using windowblinds, there is something wrong with almost every version i've ever tried and it's NOT as compatible as msstyles. I don't really care about 4 MB of memory usage or whatever it's totally tiny amount of memory... not like the difference between azureus and utorrent or anything. Oh, and uh... MSStyles are 100 percent free. Also, I'm not going to buy something that will be obsolete when vista comes out in 8 months.

Anyway, This style is AWESOME ! Way good job, and much appreciated.

Awesome theme. After a few months of XPMC, this is my main one. :)

My only issue: if you use the Group Applications feature in the taskbar like I do, the application group isn't highlighted when the application's selected. By which I mean:

This is how it should be:

This is how it is:

That aside, it's fantastic. :D

I absolutely love this skin. I was using KoL's for a while then noticed how this one incorperates the same design into the toolbar and taskbar and just fell in love instantly. The only thing thats bugs me is the way the tabs are made.

That blue bar = gawdy. D:

Thank you all for the kind comments :)

all those asking for the samurize script

Ive attached it here

Its not the exact one as the screenshot (you'll notice the time is not the same as tray clock... I deleted that One)

but its similar

You ll need samurize for it, in case you don't know

(didn't think anybody would want the script, its easy to make your own in samurize)

i cant see the plugin :no: where can i found this plugin

:o this is such a cool theme, im a completely impressed

just one problem i can find with it, would it be possible to fix the bug which affects the way files and folders are outlined when clicked on?

why does it appear that there is dotted lines around the folders when you highlight them?

I would love if this issue could be fixed.

well thanks for a great theme

cheers! :D

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
    • Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.
