mmm..maybe you've misunderstood me.

what i mean is NOT to show recently used applications (i know that they appear normal), i want to show my added links normal instead bold :)

Not sure but I think if you search for [startPanel.MorePrograms] and delete the bold text from the Font line it might work. :)

EDIT: Didn't work. You'll have to open the theme in stylebuilder and change the Style > Normal > Substitution

and here is the taskband flash button i did to get rid of the orange.

post-16704-1138570450.png <----you should probably resave that as a bmp.

StevoFC, how did you manage to display the MorePrograms on StartPanelPlacesBackground?

This is what I achieved by decreasing the DefaultPanesize for the StartPanelMFUBackground.

Is there any "how to" guide ... :whistle:

Open the vs in RESedit and find the info you have copied as it should be in there. Do a search for it. Once you found it replace it with the info you copied from his post, save it and load the skin.

Why is that when I do that and try to apply the VS it only shows up in the appearance window as black..like it does when you dont have patched the uxtheme??

edit. it also does that even if I only change one number or margin???

Why don't u just use the minimize button?

Cause people who use Trillian will probably complain and want a real minimize button. I kinda like having a real one too. Last time I tried using the close button though and they wanted a minimize one. Especially since the min and hide buttons show in the same window sometimes

ok got it done with the black but when i do it with the blue i end up with the black start panel and everything else is blue ?? i copied all what what stevofc said and replaced it but this must just work with the black VS does any one know how to get it to work with the blue one ?

Thanks

If you check the data you copied form StevoFC you will see it say "Black" quite often in it. To make it work with the Blue substyle change all those to "Blue" and you should be set :)

ok i have it copied and have regedit open now what do i do ? where do i put the text that i have copied to i paste it somewhere ?

open the msstyle in resedit, and look through the folders until you see some text. Find the specific one that steve told you to replace, replace it, then compile script, then save it in the file menu. Viola

I love this theme so much. My only complaints are I loved the LE4 alternative start buttons the best.

And I have one bug:

I'm using 5.0.3, and the black version looks great, but in the blue version the Selected Items color is Gray instead of the light blue like it shows on your screenshot. This ugly gray selection makes the whole blue theme look ugly. Atleast I can use the black.

That is not a bug, but a wanted change made by the author. Check the changelog, you'll find that.

there is no way to do it like you tried. you have to leave the left part of the start panel (ProgList) showing so that you can see all programs. you just basically size it to not show the right side (PlacesList) and copy the shortcuts over to the left. just drag them over. except for Run. that is a little more complicated.

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.
