Meh, It's OK.

No way near as good as the first original mockup.

Yeah because they are totally different aren't they. How on earth do different caption button glyphs, a start button, and a slightly different active taskbar taskband make this version vary so much from the original?

gertin: Its the first pre-release beta, not touched the caption button glyphs yet (Y)

I like the screenshot on the first post but I have a question. How do you use it? I've extracted the .zip but it just comes up with a file with no format. Do I need some program like StyleXP to install it?

Did you use something like the uxtheme patch?

Yeah you need to patch your Uxtheme.dll file. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=182900 or http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips1088.html

Wow alot of posts here!

No, too much blend means your eye can't see inactive captions in your peripheral vision. Bad. You *need* a contrast in colour.

aa i think i know what you mean.;)

am i blind but how do u guys get this thing running, when iam downloading the file there is no *.msstyle or something like that in the archive

1. Download & run this remember to wait, and cancel the Windows File Protection Dialogue, reboot.

2. Open the .zip file in WinRAR or the like, and extract the contents to: %WINDIR%\Resources\Themes

3. Check in the appearances tab of Display Properties

Looks pretty damn different to me.

Sorri if this is already been said but i found this in WinAMP Case! Its the only fault i can find, its an excellent theme well worth the wait :D Thanks b0se

Thanks. Got a link to that app? Would be impossible to bug test without having it myself.

Hotdog: I mentioned that I started to develop the blue theme because I got tired of orange. Now, change the colour of the blue version to orange, with black caption, and its hardly different at all. Don't be blinded by the colour difference. Not going to argue over this because the similarities are blindingly obvious.

if you dont like the way he changed it then dont use it. Simple as that

:yes:

@hotdog963al;

Only constructive critisism is required, b0se is spending alot of his free time doing this. At the end of day the released version of the theme will be what b0se is happy with, and likes. Other people who like it can use it, people who don't, aren't forced to.

Absolutely AWESOME!!! One of the best since a long time now!!! Reminds me of the great VS from Chaninja :D

Anyway, I know it has been requested, but the gray bar is really annoying when having the taskbar on the top of the desktop.... It would be great if it could be deleted :whistle:

Well done!!!! ;)

I like the theme very much (Y)

I'm not sure if I prefer it to your Codename: Opus though, that was a brilliant theme :)

    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
