[req] clearlooks 2.0 for windows xp


Recommended Posts

How will this work ?, i mean... an installer ?

That means you only need the .ICO files, but assigning them will take some time. You know what i mean ?

We'll team up and make many editions of the same thing ! Same thing, Different flavours. Just like Linux :D

Yep, I wrote some batch scripts that glue together reshack scripts nice and easy and automate the swapping out of system files. I've got icons made for the calc, charmap, notepad, and the generic computer. The computer icon, of course, is the only one relevant to the IP theme. If you wanna split 'em up between the two of us, that's cool, I could help a bit... although we probably ought to split ourselves a thread for that... you won't get anything more out of me tonight, I'm heading to sleep.

The Clearlooks 2.0 port is awesome, of course, and will definitely find a home on my shell-hacking dev box :)

probably going to post something tomorrow afternoon. (U.S. Eastern time). It will be the Normal version, I will also be making a ompact version (taskbar & start menu) after the normal one is completed.

My port might be updated for later if necessary.

Also, can't wait to perfect the set.

wow, just wow - my thread sure picked up since yesterday!

nice work on the theme kevcart, it looks great now

nice job converting the svg's to png, ksaad

looking forward to a shell pack, (complete with explorer toolbars?) vertigosity ;)

glad you're backing this, schmoove

You still need to work on that title bar, now it doesn't have the curve on the edges like the original theme has

Okay guys, got a beta for you. When using this for the first time, keep in mind of a few things. This is the first visual style I have ever worked on (yay! :p), so be nice if there is some super obvious thing that should be changed, or something that I've overlooked.

Also note, this is beta, so things can change, so I wanna hear your comments & suggesstions before it is completed that way there is still room for some improvement. :D

Anyways,

here goes.

kevcart3, I'm sorry... but i managed to make great stuff here, well.. of course thanks to you. Take my VS and start making the thin taskbar, because i don't know how to do it, as i'm totally wasted :D

And i want to have a glassy taskbar to play nice with titlebar. Let's keep up with that thing anyway.

I added glassy look for buttons, tabs, scrollbars, etc... Also.. added 3 extra color schemes. Will make more later !

Now eat THIS !!!

BTW... I've also ported the icon set ;) https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=411059

    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
    • Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.
