Pop over to GUI.Relax for some new theme goodness.

The GUI.Air msstyle is broken, StyleBuilder will not compile it properly (fails to apply to desktop). It has been like that a long time, and I do not have the time (yet) to debug it. I will do early 2007. Until then, go and enjoy GUI.Relax instead :?)

Gui.Air Beta 1

First off, thank you everybody for your support and patience.

I have spent a long time making the widgets, for example, check the way the caption buttons 'sink' when you click and hold them. Little details like that help define a theme, so keep your eye open for them :?)

Please Read>

1. This is a pre-release BETA which is only available here. Do not upload or distribute.

2. Bug reports are welcomed, as is constructive criticism.

3. Please, do not whine because orange is not in this release.

4. Try it for 30 minutes before you post, that way you'll get used to the interface and your feedback will be more accurate.

5. I havealpha-blended> the caption bar corners to match the desktop (or any light background), so they look ultra smooth. This is atest> and will eventually be removed so the corners look good on dark backgrounds. I am enjoying this style for now so I thought I'd let you see how it felt too.

6. Wallpaper included.

7. FONTS ARE NOT FINAL.

8. Progress bars, tabs, vertical taskbars (shudder) and sliders are not skinned.

9. Use the black cursor scheme. Don't argue, just use it :?)

10. Modifications will not be given permission.

If you want to see a screenshot, you can just go over to the DA page. It's a very usable theme, even though some elements aren't finished. I still use it occasionally.

In the thread for his latest theme GUI.Relax, he stated: Note: GUI.Air is delayed, the theme is broken and I cannot seem to fix it. I have no idea when it will be out, so don't hold your breath. I think he also mentioned elsewhere that the actual .msstyle itself was bugged, and he is unable to open it in Stylebuilder, thus the original theme would be dead. (I might be mistaken on the details here).

I must reiterate though, it's a very usable theme, even though it's not complete as b0se had planned. If you like this soft grey-blue coloring and plastic style bars, just give it a try.

Because you did pay him enough.

You are SO KEWL! Did you read a book to get such wit and smarts? Cause seriously, I want them. I want them bad.

Yeah I know it's usable... I ended up changing the stuff I didn't like (made it orange, changed some glyphs, etc) and all that. I think I still have the original decompiled msstyle I used to make it of b0se wants it, but I doubt he even looks at this thread any more.

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version.

In addition, we have an ad-free subscription for $28 a year, which is another way to show support!

      This whole dumb age verification thing needs to die and be replaced by giving parents tools to control devices. Why am I required to plaster my ID all over the internet to prove I'm old enough when parents should be the ones dictating what their kids are doing on their phones. Apple released great set of tools for iPhones coming to iOS 27 that do just that. Why are governments not mandating that kind of control to phone makers to built them into phones. This whole thing is so absolutely idiotic it's wild.
