I wont make a shellstyle and that's finall. I will ignore everything about there not being a shellstyle from now on cause it's starting to get pretty annoying :/

Use it as it is or dont.

Wh0ps. I forgot about me saying that. And Daeron Tin?viel is right anyways, it looks better without then with.

I think acies is right. I use 2 monitors myself at 1280x1024 and I think they are using too much space as well. They do look nice though, if they didn't break the explorer windows maybe then I'd use them.

@Tweaker: Alvi 84 was right, we where talking about the logon :p

My Bad! Question - Wouldn't it have been better to keep the Orange button as the active button since the Startbutton, tabs and progressbar are Orangeish and have the inactive button as blue? Seems like that would have kept the color theme flowing? Also, the hidden text is a simple fix and the color selection still goes with the theme. I changed the Selections/Background Highlighted to 128,128,128 and the Menus/Menu-Highlighted Background to the same 128,128,128.

I don't know why a lot of people are complaining that not having a shellstyle in a theme is the end of the world. I'm a Multimedia developer and whatever I do I must follow the client's wishes as it is their product, but in this case I'm paid to do it. Since Capric0rn is doing it for the sole being that he enjoys it should be enough. It is his work and he is entitled to do whatever he feels is best for him and his theme, and you have no authority over him for it. Be grateful that at least we're getting a theme that not only looks good, but functions really well. If you are really that desperate in getting a shellstyle, the best way is to create your own shellstyle, or better yet, create your own theme if you feel you wish to criticise other people's hard work. It is one thing to give a suggestion but it is another to order a change just for the sole being that it does not suit you.

@Tweaker: Grey for selection doesnt go with the theme. And about the buttons, seems you dont really understand it. The blue is a active button, orange for hover, grey for normal state and plain white button for inactive. The blue is there to get the attention from a user.

@Scirwode: Thanks, I really appreciate what you've said. I hope it woke some people up :)

Very well said Scirwode. Capric0rn has been working on this for months now, and has put all his effort into every single minor detail of the theme that most people wouldn't even care about. Show a bit of appreciation people, and just stop all the whining for once, for it is driving themers insane.

hey Cap I have a request.

While you are working on this project and making updates, would you mind putting a link to the dA page in your sig or something, or even better and have em3 edit his first post to show a link for yours. Problem is having to remember which page it was that you actually linked to the download, especially now since the word is getting out, and people are posting more about your Black version.

Thanks

That logic would suggest that the tabs be changed to blue. but it's orange because that is the active tab and goes well with the flow. Gray does it for me since the rest of the theme has Grey throughout. Granted the black looks better but the hidden text problem is there with it.

Really.. if you know it all so well then please, just please make your own skin. See what people like and dislike about it. Then keep changing the things that YOU like so that the rest likes it as well. It's really hard to make something that everyone likes.

You're taking it to personal. It is nothing against YOU. However, at times people make suggestions that weren't seen by the creator that if one looks subjectively they make may yeah that makes sense. I like you work and em3's. I understand that everything seems like a criticism but I don't think that is what people are intending. Cheers!

You are asking me to change stuff in this skin that dont need a change. The grey selections just look cheap that way and dont do the skin justice. If you want to change those things that's fine by me. But I wont do the same.

The tabs etc are orange cause they aleady have the attention that way. The tabs to the left and right already have a different color then the active tab. Same goes for the checkboxes etc.

Great! It's you theme and you surely have the right to do what you want or don't want. We all appreciate your work, time and effort. :D Have a good one!

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.
    • Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.
    • It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.
    • So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
