love the new style, all the changes are nice. the new scroll bars look awesome, new combo boxes and drop down buttons, new tray expand button. new start button seems awkward at first, but i think i can be something i can like after i use it awhile.

don't understand why people complain about the start button taking up too much space though, it takes upt he same amount of space as a regular start button.

the only thing thats wrong with the default startbutton other than asthetics...

you cant just put the mouse in the bottom left and click without looking, it wont hit the button.

But the blue theme looks GREAT with the black start button from le4

Actually, you can. The startbutton actually covers almost the whole area before the quick reply. You can click anywhere in that area and it will open the start menu.

I really like this Visual Style, my personal favorite so far! I used to use Vista Media Centre VS, but I was waiting for this forever and I love it! I actually like the start button, maybe make it a little wider and it would be perfect, thanks for your hard work! Keep it up!

Good work em3, it's a nice VS. I just don't see what the hype was all about. Like a lot of the people have said here before.. the Start button is fugly, and it's not that different from LE4. The whole look is starting to get really unoriginal as well. LE3 IMO is the best looking out of the LE series. I do appreciate the effort you put into your work though.

Hmmm... very nice. I could say there were more positive changes to the VS than negative, so overall I'm quite satisfied.

My complaints would be the awkwardness of the Start button (that shape is... different) plus the highlight colours for the icons. That colour from LE4 was ideal, IMO.

My only grip is that I wish the windows flag in the startbutton were bigger. May I be so bold as to ask someone to make the flag within the startbutton bigger? I think that would end the okwardness of the startbutton. =)

I love this theme though, em3 you did a helluva a job on this. Much appreciated.

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
