Thank you for this theme! I love it and I plan to stick with it for a long time. One thing I noticed after using it for a few days, though. On forms where there's a text field, the rectangular field has a grey border on the inside - which is nice, but it often obscures the lettering. Here's an example from the Netflix page:

Screenshot

Unfortunately, it happens a lot on a proprietary web app called Confirmit, that I use for work all day. It even happened when I was registering to post on this forum. The bottom half of the letters sink out of view.

Not enough to make me stop using this theme, I just like the look too much. But I'm curious as to whether this has been an issue for anyone else. :huh:

Thanks again!

Nice one, I'm using the dark theme at the moment.

One remark: how can I change the color of a MS Word document? The document has the same color as everything else (that cool grey/blue). But in word it would be better that the document is white. It's the same for MS Outlook, MS Excel (dark worksheet),...

You can go to Start-Settings-Control Panel-Display.

"Appearance" Tab, then "Advanced"

In the dropdown box called "Item" select "Window"

Change it to white. (Very first color on upper left).

Click OK, then click "Apply".

Wait for your screen to go through a couple of canniptions.

Then click on the Themes tab and save it as my "My Favorite Theme.theme" in your My Documents folder.

By the way, for some excellent Firefox and Thunderbird themes that complement this theme nicely, try:

MidnightFox for Firefox and PitchDark for Thunderbird.

^Thanks^

I just installed the fonts now and it didn't fix it unfortunately.

I use firefox for real life and IE for work, and it happens to me in both.

Hey Dobee great skin. I've always been a fan. I followed the instructions, have all the fonts, but for some reason mine does not look like the preview shot. There is a weird outline on the start menu behind each icon (see picture). Does anyone else have this problem?

Windows XP SP2, US version

That's actually pretty slick. I don't have any idea why that may have happened, but I want it.

You'll need to make the shellstyle wider... I might widen the shellstyle in the next release for international users

How can I stretch shellstyle?

When you make this extension for international users?

and so you for me would can make?

because style me oneself it pleases very ;]

You can edit the shellstyle with reshack

look for "....xscrollable=false width=154rp>..." at the end of uifile1 and edit the width

if this is too technical for u... wait for the update rather

;)

Really cool theme! Like the way the taskbar seems to "glow" with a selection/alert!

Any chance of being able to put in the current user's picture, like in the real Vista? Not a critism, just something I noticed, or how abouts lengthening the start menu a little, to slot in the current user's name?

Lovin' it!

This is awesome the sec i saw it i installed it on my desk.

But can someone please tell me how I can get my winamp to look like the one on the screen!

There was one guy he gave a link to a deviantart page but its dead so i downloaded the one from

stefanka there is a white and black version but its still not the same i want it too look like this just the

name of the song and the progress bar. Thank you very much in advance

hi, usin this themes. its nice. anyway i got a question to ask,

1. would it be nicer, if dobee make it glass effect?

2. what is the plugin on the top right in th screenshot

3. where can i get a transparent rainlander and where can i download it?

4.how do i remove the text from my icon on the desktop?

@dobee: Nice visualstyle! Finally, something that made me part away from Luna Element 5.

Anyway, could you please make the taskbar alert more "orange" cos it looks pinkish-brown now.

Also, the left-type (white background with no icons) shellstyle would be nicer if it has the same black blackground (with icons) as the top-type shellstyle.

And if it's not too much to request, remove the square border around the close/minimize/restore buttons so that it look like the buttons of Windows Media Player 11 Beta

Thanks again for the great visualstyle :D

    • 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. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.4 Added 'Space Routing', a new feature that allows you to route links to a specific Space. To get started, click on the three dots in your Space name and click on 'Space Routing Settings'. Fixes Fixed extension-opened tabs not being created with the correct container (#14100) Fixed a bug with the Boosts editor having the wrong theme colors (#14099) Improved overflowing space icons being inaccessible and improved the feeling when hovering over them (#13747) Other minor bug fixes and improvements Download: Zen Browser | 89.8 MB (Open Source) Download: Zen Browser ARM64 | Other Operating Systems View: Zen Browser Home Page | Screenshots 1 | 2 | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I am currently using a 4tb stick in combination with a 4tb 9100 Pro. It's only been six months since I bought them but the 990 has already dropped 1% health. Fingers crossed it doesn't go any lower.
    • But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
