Let me know what you guys think ;)

Nice! I really like the one on the right. I think it'd look nice in a Luna Element 5 version too (hint hint :D ). Keep up the good work.

ok miranda is starting to make installing and customizing fb2k look like a piece of cake. really, i am totally lost. there is so little simple, straight forward help for this its almost impossible.

i have clist_modern_mod.dll, ieview.dll, i think i am missing something for png support although i have imgdecoder.dll in the plugins directory.

i just wanna bang my head on a table, screaming is possibly a valid choice. anger, anger and small squirrels that crawl up your legs and bite your ears. exploding badgers. is it too much to ask?

a simple you need this this and this, you get them there there and there, you put them there, there and there. you select this, that and that. 1 2 3.

seriously, i've been at this for about 4-5 hours, it's 5am and i am going to kill the milkman when he drives by on his milk float. i'm going to launch badgers on wires, that swing down and cut his head unless someone lays this out in easy steps.

i think the interweb is conspiring to make poorly documentated, terribly explained opensource projects so people end up screaming and throwing their monitors at passing crows. Its all a plot by hardware companies to make people break their stuff and buy new things to replace it.

ok, so if you haven't guessed. tether. end. going mad. s.o.s.

help will be greatfully recieved. now, i'm gonna go bag me a milkman.

hey dude, cheers you helped me when i was just about going mad. I know miranda is an ongoing project, but the amount of documentation and it's organization is dreadful. I've learnt not to attempt to do this when tired though!

the thing that wasn't obvious to me is that i needed to download the latest dev build of miranda. Generally people are gonna steer away from dev builds in favour of the stables. am I wrong about this? It seems that it only worked when I got miranda 0403a50w.

sorry for my psychosis, the badgers have been reined in. i think if i have to go through that again my feet will drop off :(

But is it all working now?

yup it's working now. i'm very greatful, otherwise i would have gone mad, i'm quite sure. I think I might do a little tutorial sometime as a lot of what needs to be done isn't very obvious. like i said before, the miranda documentation makes foobar look like a treasure trove.

lol, yeah sorry about that.

My second hard drive was dying and my graphicscard fan was broken.

I'll make the changes today and maybe I'll upload the file today :p

I want to make some new Miranda skins for other visual styles as well.

I made one for Reluna Em3lent, 2 version but I havent released it yet.

I also made a gfxOasis one.

If you guys want those, just say it, and I'll see what I can do with the permissions :p

Update 4:

- Added extra version for Black and Blue version with the close button set to minimized.

I have removed the original minimize button in those versions.

I hope you guys like it this way ;)

Be sure to read the readme file in the archive file so that you know what to do with the included files :)

hmmmm...nothing is working.. not even the Miranda site.. so what exactly do I need to get this working? I read the readme says something about a skin selector.. any help would be appreicated.

Yeah I know :p

I saw that as well, only the names are wrong but the colors as they are now is supossed to be like that.

I'll reupload the file with the right names :p

I've reuploaded the file with the right names and the right assignment. :)

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
