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.

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
