Thanks for the comments!

way2quick: Anything you find that resembles the original Luna theme hasn't been skinned yet, I released the beta early so I could get feedback on application compatibility, and find other bugs. Thanks anyway (Y)

trasher: Disabled buttons will be updated, and the orange widget hover is done on purpose.

mole: You're limited with the flash button, as you cannot change the text colour. I've found the flash to work well, its dark and its easily noticed, and looks nothing like the active band. Will be staying for now.

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.

Yeah I do think its coming along nicely b0se (Y)

But I do agree with imtoomuch. It would be great if it was as simple as the mockup, or at least resembled parts of it more.

It is only a beta though, think it will end up being great no matter what :)

Just registered to ask you to please be my dad.

The only vs to take me away from XPMC :p

gj man keep it up :)

edit: i know its prolly a pipedream, prolly not many ppl who use their bar on top, but any chance on getting the tabs/grey line switched for us :p

What's this XPMC theme??

Would love to see what it looks like!

Awesome work, ross. I like the whole concept alot.

Here's my 2 cents of constructive criticism though, just my thoughts:

1) i dont like the gray bar at the bottom of the task bar. Feels.. weird.

2) the resize grips should match the color of the theme. orange for orange, blue for blue. Just my sense of aesthetics.

Thats it pretty much. Other than that, Im impressed with your skill, as usual. I still remember the first themes you released on devART xD

Id hope for more colors when you're done shaping the theme to match your idea :]

1. You'll get used to it, just give it a little time. It'sprobably >the first theme you've used with a bar like that so it will obviously feel odd. I love it's and hence it's staying indefinately - its part of the taskbar design.

2. I don't like to saturate a theme in the same colour. 99.9% of every theme uses the same colour everywhere, and over the years that really (really) bored me. I like to add a bit of colour variety (while keeping it consistent) to keep things fresh.

My old themes, blimey. Come a long way since then! Remember b0sev1? *chortles*

I cant wait till it is released in black. So far my black mod is looking nice and I know for a fact that yours will turn out better. Since he said I could change the colors around this my progress on a black version. (dont worry bose it wont be released just like you said.)

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version.

In addition, we have an ad-free subscription for $28 a year, which is another way to show support!

      This whole dumb age verification thing needs to die and be replaced by giving parents tools to control devices. Why am I required to plaster my ID all over the internet to prove I'm old enough when parents should be the ones dictating what their kids are doing on their phones. Apple released great set of tools for iPhones coming to iOS 27 that do just that. Why are governments not mandating that kind of control to phone makers to built them into phones. This whole thing is so absolutely idiotic it's wild.
