If he really wanted to, he could also take your little post there (an obvious joke...a bad one...but obvious) and use it against you as a threat on his life. Trust me. I got a guy busted for electronic stalking and he got a year in prison. Only served 6 months, but more than enough time to realize that acting stupid over the internet is something he'll never do again.

If you're going to say things like that as a joke over the internet, you might want to make it obvious it was a joke.

Now stop acting like a kid over a theme of all things.

I think the joke came out on you, at least in my book. Who seriously rats out to the police because someone on the Internet said something? Please...

Anyways, back to the topic. I can't wait for this skin, every time I see the teaser, time stops.

Sorry to bother, but could it be possible to make this msstyle less blinding? :p The white menu background plus the very light blue highlight reminds me Royale Vista, and I guess it's a pity that such a good looking, well done msstyle, have a weakpoint like that. It's my opinion, I'm not using it because it's harmful to my eyes after a couple of hours. Could my request be taken? I'd like the menu's backgrounds or, at least, the highlights, would be darker to make it less "lightful". It's a great theme I'd love to integrate in my own Windows Unattended Disc. Thank you very much!

You can select an alternate selection color which does what you are asking for. It is in Display Preferences > Appereance, in the Font size dropdown.

Yes, you're right, but however, things like the Start Menu are still white, and the rectangle that highlights the entries in the start meny is still light blue. Nobody had any problem with that, but I do, and I really like the glossy black look that all the Vista themes have, but........ well, that's it. I can't edit it in Style Builder (TGT Soft), it always has a problem when applying the theme. Well, thanks anyway man!

Check back to when LE5 was released. There actually was quite an uproar about the highlight color. Also, you can use ResEdit to change the colors. It's really not that hard. If you get stuck, you can always post your questions here; someone's bound to help you.

For starters, the colors you would need to change are Menu (use the menubar color), Highlight, and MenuHighlight. To fix the Start Panel color, you would need to edit the StartPanelMFUBackground.bmp and StartPanelMoreProgBackground.bmp.

A note on the file names in the Textfile area:

ExtraLargeBlackC_INI is the Compact Startmenu Compact Black

ExtraLargeBlack_INI is the Compact Start Menu Black

ExtraLargeBlueC_INI is the Compact Startmenu Compact Blue

ExtraLargeBlue_INI is the Compact Start Menu Blue

Etc...

So, choose whichever substyle it is that you want to change and edit the file in Notepad. You can edit the image files in Paint or any other image editor.

I've never been a fan of the white menus when the menubar is another color. I think it looks tacky and like somebody forgot to change it before it went out the door. I fix it in every VS I come across with it like that.

Thanks for the help, I'll try it in a while. BTW, I'm currently mixing Opus Luna by b0se with Vista CG. If when I finish it, b0se gives me permission, I will post it here. For the moment, it will be only for personal use. I've sent him a PM, but he hasn't answered yet. Thanks again for the data. Bye!

No problem. And good luck with your Frankenstein!

I've come to a decision. I don't know when I'll be able to finish the black version. Therefore I'm gonna release the new blue style separate in a few days. How does that sound? :rolleyes:

Sound sweeter than Sweet Tarts (though that makes no sense at all).

    • 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.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
