Thanks for the feedback!

Final will include more colours (orange, black and green probably). I doubt there will be Beta 2.

I'm going to be busy for the next week so I can't work on the theme. That is why I released Beta 1, its entirely useable for the time-being.

Yeah! Hopefully the final build will have the other styles (taskbar, topbar, etc) shown in the alpha builds as well.

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, or if it's even a bug (as opposed to a yet-to-be implemented feature), but there is a problem with scroll bars in some programs. If you right click on the scroll bar so that the context menu covers up some of the bar, and then left click (and hold) somewhere on the scroll bar, the part that was just covered by the context menu changes color correctly, but the rest of the bar does not change. When you release the left mouse button, everything goes back to working correctly. Here are some pictures that make it easier to see..

Mouse over bar ......... right click, context menu................ left click and hold back on bar, color change only where context menu was.

I'm strongly believe that this is a bug in the windows rendering engine, not the theme.

There also a similar bug for the progress bar and I've seen it on all themes.

Yeah, I just tried the same thing with a couple other themes (including the default Luna) and it still happens. So it does appear to be a bug with Windows skinning in general.

I had the same problem. I ended up using getright to download it. Why is there such a problem with this file? Can we get a mirror somewhere?

I uploaded it on Rapidshare.de:

I know it's not the best host, but I think it's the most stable free host site.

Hope this helps :D

I hate to be the Simon Cowel of visual styles, but b0se, this isn't your best work. I like the overall style, but it has it's roughness. I'm glad to see you switching it up a little, but it should be a little more refined. Hopefully we'll see some improvements in the next version.

really, i'm getting sick and tired of hearing people use "it's a beta" as an excuse. Personally, I think currently Gui Air is pretty good in itself but still needs some touch ups here and there. Greenlemon was making a constructive criticism and that I think is what betas are all about, accepting every constructive criticsm and using it to better the product. Just by claiming "it's a beta" doesn't do anything for the product.

He said, "it is rough, it needs to be refined." So what was contributed aside from stating what is already known?

I believe b0se knows that is isn't 100% polished, judging by the [beta 1] tag in the title of the thread. And no, Beta isn't an excuse, it is a statement that people need to be patient.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      By +mram · Posted

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
