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!

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
