Great job! This is the first I've switched to a new theme in a *really* long time. My only big quirk is the behavior in the taskbar when a window flashes. When flashing, the space changes from having rounded edges to staight square edges. I think it would look better for the edges to stay rounded. Also, the start button, while true to the original theme could use slightly more definition, maybe this could be achieved by adding a splash of color.

I dont know if it is a direct result of, but Firefox for me sometimes opens in a small like 10x10 window now. Seems to have started happening after I installed this theme. Otherwise I love it!

A friend has the same problem, so I do think it is the theme. With Luna, or another clearlooks theme, firefox doesn't open a small little window. I'll have to screenshot it.

I downloaded and installed Firefox1.5.1 just for this purpose and could reproduce what you describe.

Open Firefox and maximize it, then minimize and right click to desktop to open Display Properties.

If you now go to Appearance and change the Font options or the theme itself Firefox behaves strange.

Either a window pops up which is resized or no window pops up but a click on Firefox Taskbar Button doesn't bring it back either. In this case you have to right click on the Firefox Taskbar Button and select maximize here.

This strange behavior appears with default Luna or Windows Classic, too.

Changing themes while Firefox is minimized makes Firefox popup.

Back to OPERA...

great theme.

you could use segoe UI 10pt Font for the captions to look more like the real thing

i also replaced most tahoma fonts with frutiger linotype and tweaked the colors.

Love your foobar layout, any chance I could get the customization code for your layout and graphics used for your buttons?

The last update doesnt likes me very much :( :( :(

Some of the font's changed and it looks a little weird to me :( :( :( I'm stuck with the previous version...

I think so... But anyway I don't like that font verymuch :( :( :(

It would be greate to be able to choose wich font use, instead of having to choose every font used :( :( :( ...

Ate least I can't see the font's in the "Font Size" as in others themes... I will try update 3...

I have been told that Bitstream doesn't look good except on LCD monitors.

Ah, so that's why it looks weird on my CRT. Then again, it looks about the same on my laptop.

I think it has something to do with the resolution being used. Or maybe its not really suited for Windows?

Well this is just a suggestion but IMHO the Bitstream Vera Sans looks better - less irregularities - when you increase the size to 10 instead of 9.

^ Yes, try that

Now that I have 2 Msstyle files included I could do the following:

The version with Tahoma,Calibri,SegoeUI will stay as it is, the other version could be a version with alternativ Fonts like Bitstream 10pt, Frutiger 9 , Lucida Grande 9.

As Frutiger is similar to Calibri another Font could be taken as well...

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
