Carbon: Yes, Watercolor was the original theme in the early builds of Whistler (XP).

Genix: You need to use StyleBuilder in order to edit a theme's contents. Sorry, I can't upload the theme mods i've made because I respect Binary's wishes.

Here's the wmploc: (i'll put it back up in one second, fixing the transparency so it works w/ different taskbar variations)

For some reason I can't edit my above post, so here is the file: watercolor mod wmploc.dll

The blue background had to stay because otherwise it would cause the volume slider to be transparent in places it shouldn't have been, so it will possibly look odd for people who don't have the same taskbar color as me :\

Thanks pal... wonderful wmploc...

Did you adjust the color settings for the player? If so go back to the color chooser settings and hit reset and it should display correctly.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
