^That's fine... I'm happy to have a base to work with and make my own versions and colors. Thanks b0se, even if you never get around to finishing it.

QFT....& bOse doesn't owe anyone here anything. @ bOse: take you sweet time man; whenever it's done is fine w/ me...I get a kick out of the demanding posts by all the children.

Not fine for me, I need more than a "base to work with."

Look dude, if you want other colors or a few things fixed, then just do them yourself. I think stylebuilder has a 30 day trial. Don't tell me you can't do it either as it is really simple... just time consuming to get everything perfect. It's just like making a wallpaper, except you gotta zoom in a lot.

Thanks for the QFT ;)

Evening all...

As much as I want to finish this theme right now, I can't. For two reasons...

1. I do not have the time. At all.

2. StyleBuilder is refusing to load :?)

Obviously the most annoying one is 1. But, that will change within 2-3 weeks and I will be back to finish and release this theme with all the colours you were promised. My workload will be reduced and evenings will be mine to do whatever I choose, which is a great thing for fans of GUI Air(Y))

See you in a bit!

Edit: StevoFC, you seem to have taken the delay personally. Like most people here have realised, I have more important things to do than theme for free. Like working. If the theme was finished, I would have sent you the base PSD's. However, there are a few tweaks I would like to do that will take some time, consideration and effort.

I've been using this current release of GUI Air on my desk for the last few months and its perfectly useable, hence I am in no real rush to stop working to finish it. Don't forget, I sacrifised time and money to get this release out so damn quickly. But it seems all that is forgotten when you don't get what you want straight away.

Saying the theme 'is dead', and stating people would be lucky to see an update '..ever', in my opinion, is an immature remark(s). I'm glad this happened, I don't want someone with that kind of attitude working on my stuff. Ciao.

Edit 2: To those who understand my predicament and have been very patient and shown support - thank you very much - means a lot(Y))

i see how it came off the wrong way, but i didn't really take it personally. I have also become very busy and have very little free time to do much of anything, but when I had offered I had a lot of free time. That is the only reason why I was slightly frustrated for not receiving anything. I do appreciate all the work you do...especially since i used to do a lot of visual styles myself. I graduate in 2 weeks so that will take a huge load off of my shoulders also. I'll just have that other full time thing called work to deal with...

But anyways, you said in your post you no longer would like me to help and i understand that. good luck with it. I was just trying to be nice and help you out some at the time. You tend to disappear for months at a time, so thinking that the theme is dead isn't necessarily as immature as you think.

:) many thanks for b0se great work, the best of best themes, :laugh: I keep almost all the themes made by bose.

By the way, I wonder if you have any plan to update your previous themes, such as W9DProm, OPUS etc? I think they are still high quality theme and unique amony many themes. Thanks

b0se you are truly a GOD! I thought KoL's themes were great but the simplicity and quality of your themes are so good that I doubt I'll change from your collection anytime soon. I am currently using Codename: Opus but if I ever need a change I'll use this theme. Wow.

Work can be crazy. I work part time at a Library and it's hectic for me so I can't even imagine what it's like for people with full time jobs, families, and a Life in general. Please take your time and don't rush. We all have more than enough of your themes to choose from.

Just for anyone who cares (it might be known already) The Tango icon set would really look good with this theme. Just my opinion :p

Here are the two I've done, an Orange and a Brown. The Orange one is in the PS picture. :)

The brown was inspired by Kol's "aes", both mods were also built on Kols theme "Semplice". Since b0se's kept crashing stylebuilder for some reason. Color changes I can do, but I'll leave the GREAT themes to Kol and b0se.

I hope you find the time to relax, before you start this theme up again. Please take your time.

Thanks for the great themes, b0se.

I just want everybody to know that I didn't send it to anybody till now because bOse said he is going to finish this style with all the color variations (I hope I understood him right).

Believe me I'm not an attention ######, showing off with the work of someone else.

I felt in the mood for orange and did this color version using and tweaking the resources from the WIP thread (I don't like the word rip but that's what it is called).

And because I didn't like the taskbar I did this mod to have a more consistent and classic look.

Just let us wait for bOse to finish this style. If he doesn't everybody who wants this might have a reason to ask for a "personal copy".

One of the reasons i registered on this board recently was so i could comment on this thread...

Thank you very much b0se for posting this beta release. I've been enjoying it for a while now, and even though it's not complete it's very usable. I think that when you get around to completing it, it will be one of your best themes. I totally understand that work and other matters take priority over theming, and even if it's a bit frustrating as a fan waiting for a theme to be completed or released, I know that theming is a hobby for most themers and really appreciate the work you have done. I wouldn't be very happy if I had to live with the default WinXP Visual Styles (gag), so I am content to wait for one of my fave creators to churn out another amazing theme. :)

btw, I haven't encountered any bugs at all.

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
