First off I'd like to say ty for creating such a cool theme for XP! This partnered with desktop sidebar = absolutely no reason to buy Vista bloatware edition.

I did notice that when you enable shadows under style XP, and you have the box over moving video, the shadow turns black and ugly because its trying to render it over video. It needs to know not to enable shadows over video. Dont really know if that pertains to your theme or not since the option lies in style xp, but just wanted to share that info. Please let us know of any further bug fixes or updates :)

Also is this the final version?

One more thing I have noticed and I dont believe it is a bug, but just an incompatibility between the theme and Quicktime. I notice that when the theme is running and quicktime is on, it will only run at 10 frames per second. Turned off those frames go back up to 30. Probably has something to do with an overlay I thin because it basically does the same thing when im running it normal and I put my mouse over something and the description pops up. Same affect it has on the video playback.

Loving the Slim Compact and Slim versions of Blue. No dodgy borders of icons, but my Opera Quickstart does'nt appear to be aligned with the button even though it is. The shadow is barely visible, which makes it look odd. No complaints though, still rocks.

Great for double-thinkness taskbar as well, shame I don't run enough programs to use it all ;)

How do I use this without the icons and sounds provided? I hate them no offense.

If you have already installed it then just do this...

(Skin only)

Right-Click on the Desktop -> Properties -> Appearance.

(Skin+sounds+icons)

Right-Click on the Desktop -> Properties -> Themes.

    • 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.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
