^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))

Edited by b0se

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.

    • 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.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
