:woot: :woot: :woot: OMG! :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: I love this theme! even though its just a beta, im keeping it on for good! :D :woot: :woot:

okay enough smilies.

nice and compact, simple, and clean. it totally blows luna out of the water and even makes royale look ameature! (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y)

score: 9203540923509325 out of 10!

This is a very, very nice theme. it very well matches my miminilst (sp) needs. There are some feedbacks you might consider :)

- The scrollbars and dropdown arrows could be blended into the theme more if it wasn't black. :s

- Small, Compact Start Menu, please!

But other than those suggestions, you have done a very excellent job. :)

---------------------

After using the theme for more than 30 minutes, there are 2 elements of the theme which I don't like.

1) The start button.

2) The white bar below the taskbar (where the clock, start button, quick launch icons etc are located).

Suggestions for improvement (besides the elements I do not like)

1) Make default theme font trebuchet ms (just like XPMC)

2) Black window scrolling bar - perhaps could change color to blue, or cream? Also applies to the selected button (black, unless mouse hovering above).

---------------------

Anyway, fine work b0se, keep it up!

Ross did say the fonts weren't final...

I must admit though I did like the font that was used in the original screenshot...:)

I realise were still in a beta stage here Ross...the only 'bug' I've come

across was when using 'crapcleaner'

the button on the left normally has the text 'analyze' on it...but hey I can live with it.

awesome work as always buddy...you're still my number one choice for styles...:)

Lets just say there are at least 800 elements to the gui itself, add another 100 or so for each app skin...it gets a little easier with each SS and tpark update though.

And it still cant skin unified windows. Just reverts them to normal windows :no:

And this theme is great, love everythin about the taskbar unlike a few people (minus the whole grouping bug). You always pick the best shade of blue and thats why I can use all of your themes (from when I first started using em, OpusOS onwards).

I think the orange line on the bottom of the columns. They look out of place. Perhaps they'd look better if the the orange line appeared only when the column was hovered on (like Opus OS).

Please don't touch that orange line!!! :angry: It's one of the best elements in this vs!!!

Suggestions:

1. The line under taskbar gives it a nice look, don't change it.

2. The tray expansion button needs work, doesn't quite blend in. Maybe should be like the button used in start menu for "All programs".

3. The circle for "Maximize" button was nicer. The box variant is too dull.

4. I have desktop toolbar on the taskbar, "Desktop" is typed in light blue, should be white or lighter blue, easier for eyes.

5. "All programs" list is too dark, might look better in same shade as inactive windows.

6. The X on "Close" button should be centered imo.

This is the most waited VS ever for me. The orange one will be a hit.

Keep up the good work!

I 100% agree that this is possibly the best vs ever.

if you could make a version without so much gloss on the taskbar, that would be awesome.

I only found one bug, when you have the taskbar at the top and its unlocked, the movable bar is the same color as luna. Sorry if this has already been reported, or if this is a known bug.

Please consider a version without gloss.

Great theme BTW.

    • I literally tried to install it on my PC today and it crashed upon every start up. I tried all the tricks, terminate and remove cache, uninstall, reinstall, reboot, install via winget.. in the end I had my call with Brad Wardell on Google Meet. Oh I also tried Teams on the web, and got no video or audio (yes I allowed mic and camera).
    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026 by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is Redmond's flagship online communication and collaboration tool, primarily used in enterprise, government, and school environments. It regularly receives updates, with Microsoft frequently revealing features currently in development as well, such as Efficiency Mode and a dedicated app for meeting recaps. Now, the company has shed some light on the backend enhancements it has made to its popular software in 2026. During the first half of 2026, switching between chats has become 20% faster on desktop and web, which is especially great for less powerful devices or hardware on weak networks. Microsoft explains that it tracks two types of chat switches. The first is a warm switch, which relates to returning to a recent chat, in which case it is most likely already present in memory and should load extremely fast. The other is a cold switch where a chat that hasn't been opened recently is now opened. Naturally, the second type of chat switch was causing the most notable latency spikes. Microsoft realized that this was happening because of three reasons. First, the query to fetch conversation data was being fired too late. Next, queries were being sent sequentially, increasing the overall round-trip time. Finally, there was no handling of response priority, which meant that non-critical responses would sometimes block the main thread. Microsoft solved all of these problems by firing the data query immediately, bundling queries to be sent together so that they wouldn't create a "waterfall" effect, and enabling faster painting of the frame. As a result, warm and cold switches now have almost the same latency, and the only distinguishable difference between them is due to the data layer response time. Next, Microsoft focused on reducing app hangs and freezes on macOS and iOS by 35%. On macOS, the company has a health monitor thread running in the background that does exactly what it says on the tin. The tech firm built a dedicated StackDecoder tool to analyze health monitor's output at scale. Through this combination, it decided to move several error reporting and monitoring threads either to the background or treated them as an asynchronous call so that they wouldn't block the main thread, causing Teams to freeze. On iOS, the same result was accomplished through optimization of computations, caching, offloading operations from the main thread, refactoring database access behaviors, deferring non-critical tasks, and more. On a related note, it also made people search 25% on iOS by optimizing the query pipeline, and efficient database task queuing and scheduling. However, Microsoft has emphasized that improving Teams' performance is an ongoing endeavor, and that it hopes that these efforts will continue to make the software a reliable partner in online communication scenarios. On a related note, Microsoft recently unveiled some upcoming performance upgrades for OneDrive on macOS too, and you can check those out here.
