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.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.

      Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
