: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.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
