I guess the best VS that came out this year would have to be Klarheit, although I don't even like it much.

There was a shortage of good VSs this year because every developer was like ZOMG VISTA!1 THERE HAZ 2 BE 1000 DIFFERNT VIZTA CLONEZ THAT WNT TRNANSLATE WELL ON XP!11.

I'm still using RoyalFour (although, I'm in the process of trying to find Klassic, I think I might switch off of RoyalFour for it, we'll see though) which came out back in 2003.

Royale Vista by dobee

:yes:

both gets my vote because both look good AND are usable.. so props to the designers!!!

lots of visual styles look good but aren't usable (ie: tiny fonts that are unicode unfriendly, darkened explorer backgrounds that affect every program, non standard sized borders making resizing difficult, list goes on...)

I totally agree. There are waaaaaay too many Vista skins that look almost exactly the same out there right now.

Great thread, glad this is going around, it really helped me find a good theme. I have been using SlanXP for a while, but man I just can't keep my eyes off LE5. Really clean and extremely professional theme. It really seems like LE5 could/should be the default XP theme.

I just seen the 5.1 which came out in Jan. man he needs to hurry up and finish the black version of it

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
