Will the Crystal Msstyle ONLY work for XP. Is there ANY way for it to work on another OS??? And when i went to the official page of crystal mssytle the page just kept loading and loading and loading......i have 56k. Do i just keep waiting or will it load FOREVER?!!!!! AHHHHHH

small, minor, tiny graphical glitch Tim:

i take it the ugly white pixels aren't supposed to be there?

EDIT: actually i think it happens to titlebar buttons that are not available, but i'm not sure if it happens to all of them or not. just noticed it while installing norton systemworks too.

Here is the PNG start button replacement. The original is named KMENU.PNG. You can either REPLACE or change the IMG in stylebuilder.

I'm not EXTREMELY happy with it, I may or may not work on it anymore, but it gives you guys an idea of what would look nice if nothing else :).

Here is a User Icon to use that matches the gradient.

I don't get it...Zooming on your img shows no bug...

red and green colored buttons seem to be surrounded more by blended shadow, but the grey blends to white (or light grey) and then blue, which in inconsistent. really not a biggie but just pointing it out.

Non-related, but I'm proud of my Crystal too...Note I'm not using YZ Shadow, The shadow for the menu is part of the editted WALLPAPER. Anyone done this before? Uses much less CPU power, and reduces BLOATWARE! :)

That's an old, old wallpaper trick...prolly everybody and their mother who's made walls has added a drop shadow underneath where the toolbar goes at one time or another :p

Y'z Shadow bloatware? You have got to be kidding, right? LMAO You must be talking about WindowFX ;) heh

Try this: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=2539 ;)

Made by everaldo. Well they are not really icons, but pngs try to convert it to icons using Axialis IconWorkshop. It's very easy. :D

I don't know about most of you all but I really really needed a black version. I like black it's a nice dark color and doesn't hurt yoru eyes so I modded two things, the Crystal Msstyle and the wallpaper previously posted by Opio.. or a link to it for that matter. I am STILL awaiting permission for Tim to let me release it, see my other post. Tim.. man.. I need your permission can I?.

If you don't like it, thats fine. Don't flame it though, I hate flamers.

    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
