Hey, Dobee, I love the new skin, great work!

I just have a small problem, not a bug, more of a preference. The dropdown arrows, like the ones in the folder tree and registry, are too light which makes them hard to see (see pic below). I would like it if you would make them a little darker. ;)

ok nonw that i have installed it.. I actually like the start flag like it was before.. and the start menu seems cut off at the top.. a bit squarish.. I'm not sure if I dislike this .. but need to get used to it nonetheless! for the rest.. i also have this probel like the other guy does with the files beinng yellow when I select them.. some1 gave a solution but I'm not sure if that is for us to change or for you...

People.. please keep giving your problems/ feedback so Dobee can do his job..

thanks Dobee! keep up the good work!

First off.. thanks for the feedback, if I could reply to all I would, and I'm surprised that there's still interest in XP visual styles now that Vista's out

So Thanks all for your input

Beta 0.2

---------->

Yellowish hue on selected items corrected (thanks to em3 for fix)

Caption buttons fixed

Bold only applies to Calibri font style now

Few more changes...

Nice update! Thanks

As far as the XP styles.. ALOT of us won't go to Vista, or at least just yet for numerous reasons. Cost is the biggest reason for most. I myself bought Vista the first day it came out, but its horrible as far as playing games right now, due to the driver/performance issues, so keep the XP Styles coming.

    • MVS subscribers got the proper 26200.8655 Win11 25H2 ISO downloads as of 6/16/2026 avoiding this whole MCT fiasco by MS. I'll obtain the official 8655 MVS ISO download instead.
    • 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.
