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...

    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.
