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!

    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
