No, he never made such statements, in fact if you follow the thread he is still working on the theme and will be done shortly. Its the severe lack of progress that have some people doubting him.

Only time will tell whats going on with this theme, its not like its going to be vaporware, as he as already released a working beta of the theme. There is no reason for him not to complete it (other then him just not being happy with the design :/), it just might take a while due to personal affairs.

b0se, maybe you could give us a little more insight? A few months? Sometime this month? I know you don't owe me or anybody else anything, including a final version of the theme, but people like me would be better off if we didn't visit this thread every day in hopes of finding something new.

Part 1 of the upcoming GUI Set, Air is bright, colourful and ergonomically sexy.

A beta was released months ago, but the project had to be put on the back burner (much to the dismay/anger of many Neowinians) due to a job move. The final version will be out within 4 weeks, which will have a few colour schemes - time permitting.

The second GUI theme - Gui.Unnamed - is 75% finished, and will be released a month or so after Gui.Air. Keep your eyes peeled for a sneak preview.

Great to see he's continuing the project. Shame on everyone, though, that gets mad because they expect him to drop everything to put out something for free. You get what you pay for. Hell, in the end, with b0se, you always wind up getting a lot more than you could ever pay for in a theme.

Just thought I would report a possible bug. I am a great fan of XMPC and I guess gui.air has some elements of it in, as I suffer exactly the same problem with gui.air as I do with XMPC, concerning menu icons that are being cut off.

Yes this a screenshot of XMPC, but here is one of gui.air:

You can see it's the same problem. I guess if it's fixed in gui.air then the same patch could be applied to XMPC (which would make me very happy!).

It looks like the toolbar is unlocked in the "foxit reader pro" program. Maybe you can drag the toolbar to the right? It also looks like you use StyleXP. Some VS have problem running under StyleXP. I suggest (if you feel ok doing it) using the UXTheme.dll Patch program. You can find here.

@the lost

you can changed two visual style then logout and relogin,

If the clipping buggy disappeared once,

It may caused by you foxit app or the below behavor of Windows:

If you switch between visualstyles on by one, Windows may use some reserve prevours attrib when the current style leave some fields blank for system to choice.

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

      You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
