Nothing against b0se, that's GREAT you actually have a life and other things to take care of BUT I think it was the worst idea to post an unfinished visual style and get all the hype built up KNOWING it wasn't going to get finished anytime in the near future. All it did was get people ****ed off, dissapointed, bored with the visual style before it was ever completed, and start rips floating around (no I'm not attacking srn).

I mix of responses and emotions in this thread. kvaughan, use your head before posting. Would you rather:

A. Be able to use a 90% finished theme

or

B. Not have it at all

In most cases, I'm sure you'll find the answer is A.

I made it completely clear that I worked hard and fast on the beta so people could use it. The fact that I couldn't finish it does NOT give anyone the right to moan or rip work.

I have no time to theme right now (and I'm getting fed up having to explain this OVER and over again), I'm working on two work projects in my 'free' time, which isn't much time at all when you work (including travel) from 7am - 7pm. So, get angry, get frustrated and flame here - it won't help anything, or anyone.

As it happens, I might have some time to work on it this weekend, we will see. Default GUI.Air is now finished, so now I'm going to add some colours. The first two will be green (olive) and black, then there will be a delay before other colours are added. Release 1 will be out when green and black are finished. i will add more colours and release when time permits.

For those offering patience and support - thanks :?)

Exactly what I'm using here (after being on GUI.Air for months), and thats why I decided to add Olive instead of Orange, it's more useable (Y)

While I agree that the flaming is truly out of control regarding themes on this board, I would rather have a finished theme than one that I have to work on myself to get it to a useable state. I appreciate that everyone who spends their spare time doing something for free for this and other communities should be applauded, but those same people should also be aware that the community does not like being teased with a VS that is 90% finished. I actually think it is closer to 60% or 70% myself but that I suppose that is subjective. Be that as it may, I think the mods should step in and not allow mindless comments and trolling to occur on this forum and be a little more hardcore about things like this. Otherwise, Neowin will continue to lose the support of some of the artists who have made this a great place to get visual styles and other releases.

Hey [email protected] you choose your name because thats what women call you in bed?

To the people who are being idiots, would you rather have some thing now which is incomplete...buggy...or a finished product where things work?

Opus was great VS and still is and he spent a while on that to make sure it worked well. So just be patient. He could be charging for his work but he is not. He is using HIS OWN free time to create VS for people.

I've been waiting for the orange style since the wip screenshot. Oh well patience is a virtue I suppose.

Someone recolored the VS a while back earlier in this tread. May want to view the older pages....

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
