come on creamhackered: you read the thread title's in the completed styles forum. there are at least 4 'beta' styles out of the top 10. besides most styles are virtually completed but stay in 'beta' until they go final, at which point they aren't editted much. at least that's been my experience. rarely are there versions 2 or 3. unless we are talking a/b watercolor.

hehe who cares, when its finished it can get moved back there ;)

the main purpose of this was that so people could have easy access to a download link, and now they have it.... i hope this doesnt turn into another 27 pager though ;)

looks nice guys, dont burn out....more...lol

edit: nm... keldyn's l33t moving sk33ls zapped in there before i finished replying..

Oh God! No offense But its terrible... When I started using it... I could still see black parts , and parts from the VS i was using right before it...

Otherwise it LOOKS great... Just needs some tweaking... Oh, and it might help to let you know, I am using a Double Height Start Bar...

ummmm it doesnt look good in 1280*1024.... which i believe is a very popular resolution...

Yeah, a popular res that shouldn't be used on CRT monitors (since they use a 3:4 aspec ratio, not a 5:4 like a LCD Monitor (which is what 1280x1024 is meant for), crt monitor users should use 1280x960, otherwise, things are slightly stretched (you cannot get a perfect square shap on a 1280x1024 screen on a 3:4 crt monitor), so many people use it and don't realize their picture is not correct.

Sounds good Deron. Glad ya like it guys. Ya these threads are getting a little silly lately eh? Geesh....

Anyway, I guess I should clear some things up too, seems we have too many silly comments here lately about our themes.

First..... War of the themes?....No...Mine was made simply because I love the look and color scheme of Windows Media Center. And want my theme to co-exist with it, to be a close match as posible to it. I originally started it for myself only, but MCE seems to be popular, so I thought I would release it. Can't speak for the other themers, and won't assume their reasons, but I'm assuming they had the same reason, because they like Microsoft's MCE.

Secondly...People.....use your brains a little.....Beta means BETA...that means lots of bugs, errors and perhaps many other nasty little glitches may be present. Be patient, they'll eventually be fixed. I work in a default of 1600x1200 and told you on the download link that I didnt do it for other resolutions yet. So please don't waste posts by complaining it don't work in your resolution. That's common knowledge I think, and will be addressed in future updates.

Third.....If you like our themes, use them, if you don't like them, don't use em, simple as that. I feel you shouldn't waste everyone's time, including themers as well as fellow forum members, in simply posting rude or idiotic comments.

Lastly, I think the most important....I think it's wise for everyone to remember that all the MCE themes are in no way an original creation. They are mainly made by copying Microsofts MCE, cutting and pasting the real bmps and pngs from the real MCE, maybe adding a few touches of our own and calling it a day. So people need to lighten up a bit, and not take yourselves to damn seriously when it comes to these themes. That goes to everyone, themers, forum members, etc..Everyone needs to relax a little, it's only a theme for C**** sakes.

All the MCE themes have been passed around to many people to work on lately, whoever is still working on mine...great...suggestions, etc are always welcome, and hopefully we can work to make a great final.

All the people using the MCE themes. If you don't like our themes don't use em. Shut the F*** up and make your own if your only gonna wine and complain. Suggestions are one thing, but stupid, mindless comments waste everyone's time, and neowin's bandwidth. Personally, I never have, nor ever will respond to those sorts of comments.

Anyway..great work to all the themers here, Bant, Hyper, Deron, Xero, many others I don't know. Keep up the good work, the other MCE theme looks great as well, comin along dandy guys!L et's hope these themes turn out well!

Peace...

Danimator

well as most of you guys are here ( Danimator, Bant, Deron, Hyperbole ) I kinda made an amalgamated theme of some of the best elements of yours and the default silver luna theme as a base, I always find some parts of themes annoy me ( excel was unusable in some of the dark themes! ) so I made my own from your parts. I admit I borrowed large chunks, but hey it is just for my use, just thought I would show you a screen shot of the adapted theme, soz if ya think I am a stealer of your excellent work, well I am, you can have the style if ya want! it will not go anywhere other than my desktop!! thanks for the excellent work guys, hats off to you! :)

Have fun!

man one of the guys at deskmod is an idiot...

i dont like the mix of green and blue, they dont go with each other.

geez isnt that color scheme of Windows Media Center? i dont even think he's heard of this. he should've read danimator's three ideas. i didnt want to post there because i don't have an account and it's just a waste of time creating a new one... and besides... i guess im wasting my time posting this up too. :rolleyes:

I noticed that too. LOL :jump:

calling Bant and Danimator?!!! hopefully you have read the previous posts, I have made a theme from your great efforts.. is it possible I can get permission to release it? A few people have been asking for it, I am not going to release it without your permission so it rests with you.....

Thanks in advance

P.S I have no idea what to call it? mce smooth? any suggestions?

Latest updated Screenshot below:

Updates are:

Taskbar styles...smooth.. and scroll bars plus various details

SPaCe,

Where can I download your edition of the theme?

Really liked the theme, Danimator! :) Great job.

There are just a few things you should fix, I believe. The taskbar doesn't support 2 lines, and the Close, Minimize and Maximize buttons don't fit the title bar...

And I'd change the font to Tahoma... But that's just me. :)

I've added a screenshot. Notice the colors at the top of the buttons, and the color of the title bar.

Oh, and it's ok when the window is not maximized.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
