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.

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
