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.;)

idea for start button.. to maybe make it look like the other tasbar buttons? with start text(kinda like mockup i geuss.

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 :)

    • "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 my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.
    • Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).
    • 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.
