Hey frease, i have TRIED but stupid skinstudio ****s around with the margins because of the small white border you see..

This means skinstudio sets the buttons into the middle of the bar by default and i fussed arround with it to get it the way it is now,

BUT i will keep on trying and maybe i can find a solution to trick out SS4 ;)

Thanks for the comment, you were the first ;)

Couple suggestions:

1. Thinner taskbar, as previously mentioned.

2. Redesign the min-max-close buttons. They look too similar to Vista. Maybe taper the left and right ends so you get an overall shape resembling an elongated version of the shape in your desktop. Something like:

________

\_______\

Except, you know, with more curves.

3. Maybe try something other than a pixel font. Perhaps the font used in your VISION.ZERO wallpaper might look nice.

Will not take too long i guess, max. 2-3 weeks ?

Thats all i can say, you might understand how it is. ;)

It also depends on what features i will opionaly add,

i think i will make a white version which could take a bit longer...

I like the min,max,close buttons too as they are and glad that you like them,

Hmmm... I actually like the taskbar size... You're probably gonna be split down the middle on this one. I recommend, if you want, to make thin and thick substyles.

Keep it up - you're work is great - However - don't forget the file operation animations like you did with NovumOS...

Haha.. yes i am not going to forget about that.. but since Novum didnt have its own icons it was harder ;)

Hi People,

the taskbar is now actualy SMALLER than in the first preview and the most comments refer to the first screenshot, hope you like ti better now.

I myself think its now perfect the way it is !

I would'nt worry too much about the taskbar... How about you concentrate on how *you* want it... People that wanna use the completed skin once it's available (hint: that's me) will d/l it, people that don't... won't.

Let's be honest here... thin taskbar's look really pretty in screenshots, but, they're completely impractical if you use your desktop for anything else other than staring at it...

I'd also like to mention a small bug I spotted in Novum, the hover text and and the normal text on taskbar items were different sizes... I dunno if this is intended or not, but it was a little difficult to get used to.

Anyway, looking forward to this release :) ETA?

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
