Well... wad' to say besides GREAT!? :) I have been running Bluuna and was looking around for something more "clear" that has an edge to it and this skin kinda just fell onto my lap. I like it alot! It has a very professional feel to it.

Funny how ppl are so bad at reading OP that they go through all teh trouble of screenshooting and posting a bug here... which OP already mentioned :} *giggles*.

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.

I couldn't agree more... I know it is a beta, but the fact is we have no idea what will change in the final and what will stay. Perhaps we're all a little spoiled by the first mockup/teaser that was shown, but that looked a lot smoother IMHO. Maybe some of the other colours will change my mind though. :)

"It's a beta" isn't an excuse, it's a fact.

i think everybody is aware of the fact that its a beta, but you(plural) don't have to shove it into somebody's face everytime a criticism is made.

Criticisms should be more important than praises and I as being a small time programmer welcome critcisms as it allows me to excel further in what I do.

Then make criticisms. All anyone is doing so far is complaining. Be specific -- what precisely don't you like and why?

Thought id take a peek into whats going on in windows themeing again (been using suse for last few months)...i always rem bose as one of the top designers,but this beta left me disappointed...i could look past the beta bugs (and there many) but the overall design just didn't seem to come togeather...perhaps bose is just testing some ideas with this one (interesting task bar widgets) so ill hope for better things to come,till then ill have to pass...

Always good to see a Boards Of Canada fan.

nice work as always b0se, been waiting for your work since XPMC RC3 was released last summer. I have to admit that codename opus 3.0 is my favorite theme ever, even now that I use windows blinds 5. Codename Opus 3.0 and Dreamland must be my favorite skins ever along with some classics from bant.

I was honestly hoping that maybe we would sometime see an updated transparent version of Codename Opus 3.0 for WB5 but this will have to do for now :yes:

Who cares, when the VS is done it'll be practically bugless, cos b0se is good like that. That's all that really matters. If you don't like an element either mod it yourself or find another VS to use.

I disagree. Because b0se is pressed for time, and based on history, he tends to leave a lot of bugs in themes.

Lot of bugs?? I have been using OPUS for a while as my main theme and I love it...and I dont really see any bugs at all...infact, non comes to mind..

Gotta realize that this is a BETA and he is doing this for FREE

anytime I try to download the GuiAirB1.zip file from the original post it is always corrupted. Is it just me or is the file just bad?

looking forward to testing this...

Are you using firefox,cause i have the same problem too,

switch to IE and the file arrive just fine :D just a thought.

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
    • Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem.
