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!

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use some unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
