b0se your themes always amazing me. The first time I saw this theme I knew it was going to be awesome, and then you changed the start button and I about pooped my pants. I really like the new start button and everything about this theme. The color is perfect and active (in use) tab is oh so nice. I also really dig the line at the bottom; I never really noticed it before on anything but it fits this theme perfect. You’re a msstyle MASTER. GJ again

It's nice and I'm going to give it a try, but the concept looked better IMO. It was much simpler (the Start button was just text, for example) and the min/max/close buttons were neater. I think the black close button in the concept goes better with the theme because it matches the black yes/ok button and the scroll bar. Mousing over the scrollbar turns it orange, which obviously doesn't match this blue theme. Is that done on purpose or will it eventually match the theme color, which in this case would be blue? I think it would work much better if the scrollbar mouseover did match the theme color. As of right now this theme reminds me too much of b0se DMX because of the colors, a theme which I used for a long time, with parts, such as the start menu, task shape, and min/max/close buttons, from a couple other themes. Those are my thoughts on the theme from comparing screenshots of concept and beta one and for using it for a couple of minutes.

oddly enough I haven't been very fond of changing styles in XP until I found b0se's XPMC style the other day and loved it...

ever since then i've been hanging out for gui.air and i must say that it's amazingly awsome, especially for only being a beta 1 release.

keep up the good work b0se.

it looks amazing!

Beautiful work! I've been a constant visitor on these forums and I must sign up to say amazing job, please keep it up. It is my opinion that you should bring back the triangle and circle minimize maximize, from the mock up! Also, keep the line on the bottom, it keeps the whole tabbed feel of your minmized programs, it's wonderful.

downloading as i type.

i must say, fro the ss, it looks sexy.

after downloading.....

the white line/bar at the bottom of the taskbar is something new...... guess i'll get used to it.

thank you for this lovely vs

Black buttons are staying, its part of the design. They will grow on you, just takes some initial getting used to because its different.

Bose, could you maybe change the color of the text to white? It is kinda hard to see the words. Overall I love the theme. (If you think it should stay, I find it perfectly fine, just easier to see the words.) :laugh:

I must say, this has exceeded all of my expectations. In the beginning, I really couldnt see myself using this at all. It seemed to big and bulky. But much to my surprise, youve done an EXCELLENT job on this one.

The only thing I could ask for is a WindowBlinds port to take advantage of removing the Icon and make the corners do exactly what you want. Are there any plans of that happening?

The bar on the bottom of the taskbar works quite well. Im not sure why people dont (or at least didnt in the screenshot -- I chose to skip reading three pages) like it.

Only thing Im not a fan of is the large fonts, but I would be willing to place a large bet that will be fixed. (yes, I saw the "7. FONTS ARE NOT FINAL." -- just make sure to include something around the size of 7pt Tahoma.)

Once again, awesome job.

Thanks.

Great theme !!! Simply amazing!

My questions:

The disabled buttons are only flat text. Do you plan to leave them as they are or do you make a disabled button border? And the highlight color from some elements (scrollbars, combobox arrows are (still) orange. Do you change them for the ergo theme to match the ergo blue color?

trAsher :)

after using it for a few hours now, im just wondering if there was any chance of having something different happen when i get a message over msn.

im only new to visual styles and im not sure what its called but when i get a message it sort of flashes black outline....i was thinking a brighter colour on the background (orange or green even) would be alot easier to notice.

other then that its simply amazing. thanks.

    • I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
    • The Radeon RX 9070 XT is right up there with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
    • I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.
