I assume that means it doesn't work?!

Please try and d/l again, the first upload went wrong (the new fangled AJAX upload UI on DA has a few 'quirks'!)

I redownloaded v1.2 again and and now the toolbar fill is okay. But the buttons for maximized subwindows still don't fit the rest of the theme.

Oh I see, I didn't realise that you meant that. Oh well, I'll roll out 1.3 when I get a chance!

The icons fixed in 1.2 were the Photoshop toolbar min/max icons.

No problem. The vs is very good anyway. Thanks for your great work and responsiveness.

What do you mean by "traditional start button"?

Have a look at the substyles...

Here's a mod I did of the Blue (traditional start button) theme using some bmp images from a few different themes from the past which some of you may recognize. They fit nicely overall with the core of this vs. The colors are very soothing and easy on the eyes.

You ruined a great vs... :wacko:

Just posting here to say that I really like this VS. It's actually the first VS I've used in over 3 years (I've been on Luna blue for just too long). The black substyle also goes very well with the black theme in Office 2007. I now just need a new icon set (following the style set by Office 2007) and wallpaper to go with this theme. This also seems to be the most usable of the black themes with redesigned start buttons.

This VS is very nice and was easily adopted by everyone in the family. I personally feel that there's more refinement left in the author with respect to this theme. For me I wish there were a darker shade of compatible blue for the taskbarbackground /taskbartray. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the blast of Office blue on the screen. Yet, there's no denying it. This is a well crafted visual style. Kudos!

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
