[VS] Knorr + Knorr Smooth


Recommended Posts

Nice VS!

PS. Could you please make a SegoeUI instead of Calibri variant? Calibri is a document, not an UI font. Takes up way too much space :)

Check out my desktop. I changed the Tahoma 8-point front to Segoe UI 9-points for both Knorr and Knorr Smooth. Feel free to PM me if you want this mod (unless sharing personal mods privately isn't allowed).

i have a problem with the font or font color on the taskbar!

this is how mine looks:

this is how it should look:

Since this post was a week ago, I'm going to assume that the user discovered the solution. For anyone else though, you just need to reboot. I experienced the same thing when I first played with both versions of Knorr and was very frustrated. On a whim, I decided to reboot and it fixed the problem. I find it odd, since it's never happened with another VS, but oh well. I haven't experienced it again with Knorr since that first reboot, so no worries.

Thanks for this awesome theme!

One thing though: I noticed a small glitch with the quick launch toolbar buttons when using Knorr Green visual style. The buttons don't seem to line up properly (they are 1 px too low which causes an irritating little visual problem when hovering the buttons).

I usually don't whine because of a single pixel offset mismatch. It's just that I like this theme a lot and I'd really like to see it perfect :)

Love the style but I am a Visual Style newbie.

I downloaded the VS and extracted the file getting KnorrG (Windows Visual Style File). I double click this icon and am led to my Display Properties Screen, the VS isn't visible on that screen (I am automatically taken to the Appearance tab), I have WindowBlinds installed - does this effect whether I can use the VS???

Hope you have time to answer

Thanks again.

You need to download and run a UXTheme.dll patcher. Then you'll be able to use the VSs.

Either of these:

Actually.... doesn't WindowBlinds let you import VSs?

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
