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...

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
