Thanks for this man, Im a n00b to all this and I am having trouble loading your Vista toolbar to Yz.. I added the Vista toolbar folder to the Yz theme folder and it didnt pick it up, I changed the name of the config file to 'theme' and it was picked up in Yz menu but it would not load... anyone help me out? Ive tried searching the forum and google but nothing..

Thanks Again.

Hey, thanks for updating the theme. Unfortunately I'm still having the same problem with the bottom half of letters sinking below view in text boxes in web browsers (both IE and FF). Sometimes in IE a little tiny scrollbar even appears to the right in the textbox, even though it's only a little bit of text on a single line. But it senses that the text doesn't fit.

I don't know, I may be the only one having this problem. It's really odd though because some days it's worse than others and I have no idea why.

But the netflix page in Firefox looks just the same as in that pic I posted a couple of pages back.

Window now resizable from top

Hooray! :) I like Vista XtaC a lot, but in forms and other places it's very hard to read dark grey text on black. I actually have not tried this updated version just yet. Were there any improvements in this area, or can there be? Thanks.

HELP! Ever since I installed this VS on my computer, I get random areas of Windows that show up in what appears to be Arabic Language! For example, if I go to System Properties, there are two tabs that are entirely in Arabic. Everything under those tabs is in Arabic. Please help. Thanks.

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

Dell Inspiron 8600

I was wondering what icon package you're using on that screenshot?

thanks for this wonderful theme. XtaC is the best dark theme besides Blackcomb.

But i'd like to make some suggestions for improvement.

First, a THICK taskbar is much more useable in my opinion. And Second (That concernes the whole theme) some Hover Effects are missing... for example for the Start Button, the Shortcuts right from the Startbutton, and the Tabs.

I hope the author of this theme can consider these suggestions for a future release. thx.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
