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.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
