awesome job on this, saint dark. using it now, probably for a long time too. :)

edit: the font makes the download dialog look rather.. ugly. i don't want to change the font, since i'm afraid of throwing the caption bars and stuff out of whack. :\

mmm, Im not having any troubles, post a screenshot please

here's a screenshot..

how about a different text colour instead of black on dark purple (or whatever colour it is) as shown on xcessions last attached image? its hard to read

Because the original background color is light grey, its only purple when the mouse is over and the text color cant be changed in that actions

damn fast!  :D

aleni, I think that shellscape is ignoring me :(

btw, here?s the changelog:

Style updated.

Fixed all the minor bugs, thanks to xcession in Neowin, the fixes are:

- Now you can drag the taskbar to any of the four sides of your screen and the start button will not look weird.

- Fixed some taskbar effects when you have hidden icons in the tray.

- Some minor bug fixes with the internet explorer GUI.

Thing added:

- New color scheme added, the new scheme ?s name is "Darkness" is just a darker version of the main theme, the new scheme include all the bug fixes of course.

Original text: Samara, a simplistic enviroment for windows xp, the package includes the msstyles file, the wallpaper, the font needed (INSTALL THIS FIRST PLEASE) and the Samara icon set based in the Seer icon set by Dangeruss, the permission is attached.

Already talked to him, at first he wants money, bet when I told him that I just want a subdomain like you he told me that I need to wait till he set me up, that was yesterda:(:(

btw, what do yo people think about the new color scheme?

I have made a samara skin for quicknote to match your theme... can i release it? :happy:

Here is a screenshot... :D

of course, but post the link here

btw, I need to make a whole new thread for the update? I miss the option that allows me to edit any post by me, not only the last one, I want to edit the first one.

This is incredible. But, would it be possible to have the fonts just one notch larger? Thanks alot.

Sorry, but the fonts cant be larger because:

1.- The caption bar size is very small, a larger font can?t be displayed correctly

2.- The font was designed to that size in mind, any larger size, /xept some xtra large sizes) looks terribly bad

3.- This is a minimalistic theme

    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
