Hi all and thx!

These themes don't overwrite the original theme.. you need only sidebar styler and then you can open any .wsstyles or restore the original theme from the styler menu.

remember that you can also simply save the original theme and load it when you want ;)

hi there,

could you please explain "how deep" this sidebar styler installs itself into your system? is it a standalone exe file or does it hack something or what does it do? i just ask because i want to know how easy i can get rid of it if i want to... and if there is any probability for problems or something

I think that sidebar styler is an application that 'hack' the sidebar and allows users to use new themes.

When you open windows sidebar styler, you can select a button or an image and replace it.

This app allows also to open .wsstyles (image replacements for the sidebar).

But you can also save the original theme by open sidebar styler, click the save wsstyles button and open this style when you want. ;)

After uninstalling the application, the sidebar turn back to the normal. :)

(Excuse me for my language errors!!)

Those are fantastic styles Steel89, thanks a lot.. I'm really looking forward to all of the customization that will take advantage of the DWM engine.. speaking of the dwm, i noticed that in times of extreme hard drive use, changing the priority on dwm from high to normal improved system performance :| fluke?

    • too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
