Ah, that makes sense. I'm not a skinner at all. Used to be a coder though. I figured that application skins were mostly just substitution of graphics onto a base code that came from the application makers themselves. Maybe that would be true for Classic skins and not Modern ones. Who knows?

According to what I learned in copyright class, if Capric0rn used his own code and came up with that "look" then he'd be fine, versus actually re-using the code. Also learned that if there is only one way to code something, no copyright can exist in that code, since the code (expression) is too closely tied to the idea (the look), and ideas receive no protection, just the way the idea is expressed.

Not that anyone cares about what I learn in law school :laugh: We're just waiting on Blue fighter so we can get a kick ass skin. Carry on.

yep Classic skin are just change the graphics and use the base code. Modern skin very are different, you need to code them.

I didnt know the one way to code thing you mentioned. :)

nice theme, but can it be more compact please? i have a laptop and every pixel of space is valuable to me. thanks!

No compact start menu or thin taskbar sorry

EDIT: well people have asked here and devianart about compact start menu. I think Im going to update the theme with compact start menu tomorrow.

I made a little update for the start menu text problem that __kret posted. Not a big change but it looks better than grey.

I think blueslaad is going to work with it. I need to contact him.

Not yet, I havent started it.

I cant do that with Stylebuilder

this is to comment on the faded icons. could you elaborate on your answer. i don't get this with other styles. thank you.

This theme is wonderful, I love the start menu... one of the first themes in a long time where I like having the full start menu, the gradient is just so purty. The buttons are very nice, the restore/max/close buttons are just perfect. Again, wonderful theme KoL.

Hey KoL, how many hours (days?) does it take you to come up with an idea for a VS and then realize it?

I was working with this theme for about a month. The theme is not similar to what I originally wanted but that always happens when you are designing something.

this is to comment on the faded icons. could you elaborate on your answer. i don't get this with other styles. thank you.

Well stylebuilder dont have control over icons. Maybe the problem is the highlight color. Change it on Display Properties > Appearance Tab > Advanced Button >Selected Item Color1

Beautifull theme again kol. Great work.

Btw kol i read your name in a dutch newspaper this morning in an article about vista skins.

LOl really?? :p I would love to see that. :D

Awesome, btw did you fix this bug on the Alunamin skin? If you use time remaining, the addition of the minus sign pushes the numbers into the skin vis. Doesn't occur if you have the time elapsed. See pictures.

Wow I have to say you have to be on of the best skinners out there you deliver fast and without fuss and the themes are always quality. This theme is just top quality the reason being everything just fits right down to the right click menus. Only thing is the top start button doesnt look as good on top but .. i can fix that myslef.

I hope you last a long time yet to come (Y)

Very nice skin, I love the colors. I think I might have found a few glitches.

1. The MSN search field on the startmenu looks odd, its up too high.

2. The google search field on google toolbar looks weird.

Thanks for the awesome skin and I hope these issues are fixed.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
