Very very busy with uni work at the moment, but planning to get another release out next month. Cheers for all the comments! ;)

I am indeed looking forward to an update to this great VS. There are some other bugs that I'd like to report, but I suppose they can wait till you're ready for them. Do let me know ya.

cheers!

Been using this exclusively since the first release. I sometimes switch between black and blue. I would really appreciate if you find the time to add the silver Office 2007 substyle. :D

See what I can do ;)

Edit: Post any bugs you find in a convenient list here for me and I'll try and whack through them as soon as I get a minute.

So far the only one I can think of is with disable titlebar buttons having too much highlight on the black theme.

Somebody asked for a version with larger fonts, not sure I can do that really. In order to create some of the effects used in this theme, I had to do some some things which unfortunately making resizing difficult. I will have a look though.

A true "complete" visual style, very smooth and clean. VERY COMPLETE. I'm going to try to find a Firefox and Foobar skin to match, I don't necessarily love Office 2007 but it surely looks nice system-wide themed.

Thanks a lot!

ps.+looks nice on my native 1440x900, it feels really weird saying that. I'm soooooooo used to saying 1280x1024!

I think certain buttons are not wide enough to display all the text required for it. I'm using the black theme with the new Office 2007 fonts option. Since I've never edited themes before, I'm not really sure how better to describe this problem so I'll just attach screenshots to show some examples of this.

I also have a suggestion... would it be possible to get the 2-tone taskbar

and title bar

to have a smoother gradient from bottom to top so that it doesn't look like 2 colours but rather like a smooth gradient?

Thanks!

..., but also started the grey version (still needs quite a bit of work!)

:bounce:

BTW: Have a look here:

Although the vs itself is badly executed I like the startbutton area. Maybe something like this could be an alternative for the "traditional start button"?

I think it's a regression. What I currently like about your start button is the white contrast background, which kinda makes it stand out on the taskbar and make it seem more like a start button rather than just another icon on the taskbar. I also like how yours is the only VS (AFAIK) which has a round start button which "grows" when you click on it and DOESN'T require another program to have it displayed properly.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
