ok... well I didn't say he owed me anything, I never demanded the theme to be finished, maybe you should READ my post before you quote it.

And stop shoving this "he has a life outside neowin" in our face, it doesn't exactly take an hour to sign in and reply, and I am NOT asking for a "sorry", I am NOT asking for a release.. in fact I am not asking for anything, But IMO I think it would be polite of him to respond to the people that have being admiring his work and looking forward to more.

Maybe he can't afford the internet right now. Maybe he's moving. Maybe he has personal things to take care of. He could have many reasons why he can't reply. Seriously guys, I'm sure there is a reason. I'm sure he's not doing it to upset, but frankly if he were he's a genius because this is beyond absurd here. Let this go. If he releases it you'll still be here to see it. If not then he doesn't. Posting these constant demands that he updates us is the reason half of these good skinners left.

I'm waiting for it too, but I don't demand or even expect anything from him. If I did, I'd have paid him :)

Saying that it would be polite for him to respond is pretty much asking for something...reword what you say.

I have friends that go for a long time without getting on their home PCs because they are so busy with their life...their family..whatever...so yea, for a lot of people 5 minutes is a LONG time for them.

Plus, I work on PCs all fricken day long and I go for long periods not even wanting to touch my home PC

I can't seem to be patient any more :(

I need to do something..

I have never made a theme before, or modified one, but does anyone know if there is anything I can do to change my version of this beta to fix this bad/missing image for a combined selected tab?

If I could fix this then I would be happy with the theme as it is :)

Can someone explain to me:

a) why this thread is not closed

b) why it is even in the completed section?

a) Because b0se has stated he would release another version with additional colors.

b) Becuase for all intense and purposes this version is complete with the exception of the additional colors.

b) Becuase for all intense and purposes this version is complete with the exception of the additional colors.

Definitely not! There are a lot of Luna elements (eg progressbar, tabs) which do not fit with the rest of the theme.

Which will be released first? Vista or GUI.Air? I guess Vista!

This must be the most anticipated vs ever. It's longer in the making than Duke Nukem Forever (well almost).

Just to tease you a little. Take your time and have a life. I know you keep your promises..

on dA. I guess I was right. :yes:

Though I meanwhile have doubts with my last sentence... :blush:

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...

Why do you people keep resurrecting a dead thread?

It's like any article or forum discussion about Duke Nukem Forever: Someone wonders if it's out yet, looks for information about it.. and finds an old thread which (s)he thinks (s)he has to contribute to, whether the last post before his (hers) is ages old or not.

Sad part is, that's why I read it and responded.

Err.. Wtf? This thread was posted in less then a month before me. My post was valid as i was questioning any updates about the style. I was genuinly interested in the style so why the hell should I not post in here?

Calm down Dave, we were joking about how long this thread has lasted without being updated by the author, moved to the WIP section OR just completely getting locked.

b0se said he had alot of RL issues going on and didn't even know if he was going to finish the skin after all.

Should have been left at that, but flames started, people got greedy, and I do have to say one of my biggest problems is the fact that b0se would not allow others to persue or fix if you will some of the issues with the current beta. Others had great ideas, recolors, fixes, removals, and experimentations of this vs, and when posted where told that they do not and will not have permission to modify.. This is fine, its b0se theme, he has every right to say that, but it just comes as a hard blow when right after, there is no more done to this theme, when it was said there would be improvements. I just wish b0se, when seeing the RL issues arise, would have allowed others to continue to build on this great theme. That's my only gripe :cry:

I disagree. I don't think he should have let someone take it over, after all it is HIS design. However, no one can be that busy in their life that they can not take 5 minutes out of their day to come and say whether or not he even plans to continue it, or just just give us a ****ing update in general.

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
