OK, this is one of the first times I am doing this, so go easy on me:

As an old user of the really old theme "Slick Orange" it cannot be said enough that I like orange in my themes. That being said, I don't think there is enough unification to the feel of this theme. For instance, the start panel looks great with the combo of the orange colors and the white (the offset in color just looks simple and clear though for the "All Programs" button I might suggest using the grey text color instead of the orange) but the taskbar doesn't look like it belongs to the start panel in terms of the color scheme. The grey/black/orange here looks muddled compared to the start panel and that throws off the feel of the whole theme.

If I might make a suggestion here; I would take the lighter color orange from the top of the start panel and carry that into the taskbar where the buttons would have the inset/beveled white and the border the darker orange.

Thanks for taking the time to make this theme and should you want someone to test it please PM me. Also I do look forward to seeing progress on this and await its release.

LOL@clockwork being the reason you've got a clock in the start menu, if you know anything about clockwork orange the movie book it has little to do with a clock.

Otherwise though as someone else said I'm a bit let down that it has nothing to do with the movie the movie was real classy yet erratic and bizzare all at the same time.

Thanks for all the replies.

@ etherxl: Unity will be seen when it's done.

@ Marduk: It's not related to the movie. Get over it. The name is just so picky people get annoyed. My friend is like that ;)

@ pS-: Thanks for the good advice. I'll tell him.

@ ThePitt: Very insightful, thanks. :D

my favourite colour is orange so dont get me wrong, but this is just wrong. one thing that has caught my eye though is that windows clock in the start menu. does that function as a clock? if so thats pretty cool.

also i hated the movie clockwork orange. everyone who likes seeing/practicing rape raise their hands to be shot

Raise your hand if you didnt get the movie :rolleyes:

Thanks for the feedback. I don't mean to be a jerk but not even a 'looks nice' or 'not my taste'?

Sorry. I like a lot this one, the same with your friend?s other works. its just that I hate when people judge a piece of art (the movie) without really understanding it.

    • 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...
