Still have a bit of a hangover, so I'm sorry if this has already been answered somewhere.

Is it possible to get the old "Last Active Forum Threads" Box back on the Frontpage with this theme?

With Firefox you need to wait for the entire page to load, before the drop-down box appears, takes ages sometimes!

Also, is it due to the hangover or is the theme a bit hard on the eyes? Looks extremebly bright on my 24" Inch monitor, I'm actually squinting my eyes while surfing the site now, even though i love the Theme. But on such a large monitor, something 'darker' needs to stand out, to balance the colors in my opinion! ( As i said, could mostly be due to the hangover. Will let you know tommorow :p )

Besides that, it looks above and beyond awesome :)

Must be your hangover. They should put a legend somewhere: "Dont drink while using Neowin"

Everything looks great, but, the forums seem a little hard to scroll through. All the sections seem to blend together now, instead of being clear and grouped.

The only thing I hate is on the front page, no more recent forum topics on the left? Honestly that's a huge blow. It was lighting fast before, just look, nothing good, leave. Kind of annoying now.

this is really cool, also i like you can see whose reading the topic down at the bottom ! :D

Don't get too used to that, it will be gone shortly.

On a side note, you can always view the front page in Summary View and still see the latest forum posts, etc.

Are you on dial-up internet? I can't imagine the front page taking more than a second or two.

I just had the same thing happen to me. Unfortunately, the intellitxt javascript takes an extra second or two and slows down the drop down.

Lol. Keep dreaming.
Easier said than done...
I believe the developers here have said in the past that there are no planned Shift forum themes.
It's just 2.3.1 guys, nothing special.
It's all government funded misinformation.

What a bunch of teases. :p All of you. The new theme kicks massive ass.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
