^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.

    • Why does a PDF software need an audio player inside it. What is this bloat.
    • Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.
