I registered just to tell you I love it...

Maybe you should you just change the highlighted color of the log off and turn off computer icons in the start menu to something more fancy ? (like red and yellow)...

edit : I noticed there is a problem between the different background colors and buttons (grayish browns, etc), they look weird.

edit 2 : active window border 0 ? You are really skilled at aiming...

I have noticed certain aspects of your "new" watercolor are being ripped from mine... That isnt very "nice" I dont mind if people change mine, but I havent even released a final yet.....

Just be cool about it, and at least say where you got the ideas or images from...

I also think with your theme being named just watercolor the same as mine, people are getting confused and are emailing me with your bugs aswell...

Also when installing your theme, it installs into the watercolor folder, which is where mine installs and it whipes it out. Since your theme is based on a WB skin could you possible rename it to WBWatercolor? I'm sure people would like to use both our themes, but with your installer overwriting mine, people cant use both.

its nice he kept the luna UI fo rthe side on the file info and all that stuff...it looks alot nicer then on binarys, which is just the gray windows classic look..

only thing i see wrong with this theme now is when you hold down a button or window, and you get that dark blue...if you can get it to be the regular light blue, with the purple boder, it would be perfect...or for some reason you cant do that..use that light purple color you also used..that looks nice.

Use Resource Hacker, open up explorer.exe, look under String Table, number 37, and change line 578. then reboot in safe mode to command prompt and copy the new explorer over the old one in your windows folder and in system32dllcache.

Hey Jimbo, can you make the "grip bars" on the taskbar a bit narrower, the way you have them in the IE menu and toolbar? Also, the dark part of the unlocked taskbar looks a bit out of place, but that's just a matter of personal preference. Other than that, the theme is perfect.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
