i hope u like it.

Antioch, I don't understand why you like zune's black but to each his own. I took a look at Fifthe1ement's theme but it seems the only thing done properly was the progressbar. The fixed shellstlye he claimed is actually Royale Noir's grey one and not an edited black Zune's one and the group selections color change was not a matching color as Zune's but way too dark.

Anyway, this is for you, a proper one. Enjoy! :)

Yes, I recall that he did make the theme darker per some people's requests.

Would you be able to fix a few of the remaining orange elements?

The "halo" around buttons is still orange - the buttons I'm talking about are the OK, Cancel, and Accept button in the desktop properties (for example). Also, the taskbar window "ping" (such as when receiving a message from AIM or MSN) is still orange. If you could change these to blue I would be INCREDIBLY thankful. Ofcourse, I already am thankful for the help you've given me. I really appreciate ie.

Think of the orange halo for the controls as what makes the Zune theme unique, personally I think it's a nice touch, Royale and Royale Noir are already blue. Besides, the orange taskbar alert is part of Royale, a consistent part in both Royale and Royale Noir as well. So I'm not going change those. It's already a complete theme, don't be fussy! =P

I would like to add the Vista progress bar to the theme. I know you need reshacker which I have. Does anyone know the steps needed in order to chage this. I'm guessing the progress bar is the same in IE when you load a page or download a file.

I have a vista theme with the progress bar. Does anyone know the process to change them?

I realised the taskpanel part which I thought was white was actually a little orange, and Zune had the mistake of special and normal group headers being the same, so I redid the shellstyle for my Zune Remixed mod. Please redownload.

Changelog:

-------------

-Shellstyle normal and special group headers from orange to 2 shades of black

-Shellstyle normal and special group headers font from orange to grey

-Shellstyle normal and special group compress and expand from orange to grey

-Shellstyle normal and special group background from orange to white

Is there any way you could do a Vista Orb version?

How about a modified 'Log Off" and 'Turn Computer Off' screen to match the theme?

Also, it looks like the add remove programs applet has the old blocked progress indicator?

Nice work....

Came across something interesting at joejoe.org forums...

Seems this guy elixer_arjay and the guys there are big fans of my Royale Noir Remixed and Royale Zune Remixed mods, taking all my work and putting into his mod. Funny, not one of them has ever thanked me though, including the author using my work... I think he's a lurker in my local forum just waiting for my every release, since I'm sure as hell he isn't a member there...

Not that I mind, but a heads up would have been nice...

PS: My latest release is always hidden in my sig, lol... I wonder how many people have tried clicking and found it.

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • 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 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.
