A deviation from my previous works, ;) this style is based on a palette void of colors.

A combination of Black, White & Grey tones, thintaskbars & thin captionbars. Designed for everyday use.

This should be listed as a mod of Nion 2 by lassekongo83. Look at the Start button.... and pretty much everything else.

No offense to lasse, but I don't think he invented dark caption bars & taskbars, & the square winflag has been around since Hmm XP which is at least 4 years old.

How about trying it out & looking a little deeper before offering such a critical opinion. By the way everything is 100 percent from scratch, a trained eye will see the differences are obvious. :yes:

I tried this VS out for a bit and didn't think it was based off of Nion at all, and I am a HUGE lassekongo fan. If you would look through all of the various minimal visual styles on devinatART and Customize, you will find dozens of visual styles that are similar to each other that come from the same lines of thought: milky, simple black and white lines, smooth gradients, Luna, Apple, Clearlooks, Vista, and the list goes on.

Some themes are better than others. That is to say, that their creators took more time and care, and put more thought into their theme, than someone else might have who made somthing that looked similar. Just because something appears similar, or has the same aesthetic values, doesn't mean it's a mod or a rip.

Id just like to say this should not be listed as a mod!!!! I used SlanXP2 and Nion by lasse which are both great styles, but if u use it a lot u will realise these are quite different. Start button is a windows sign, dont see how thats copying lasse, in fact the buttons are different in the way they interact with mouse over and clicks. Thanks for what is imho the best vs made yet!

I think I found a bug....or something

after running your new theme (which by the way looks great) I couldn't run the program Rhinoceros 4 anymore....this never happened to me before although I'm switching themes pretty often... only after I reset the theme to the previously one I used I could run the program again....

I it is of any interest for you I could try to find out more info and post it.

so i really like this theme and would like to know how to go about installing it since theres no .msstyles file or anything...

does reshacker provide tools to install themes?

The msstyles are there, just look in the folder VS Original or VS Mods, and there are subfolders and then just move those to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes.

Hmm, for some reason the font on my Opera got way bigger.

when I swapped back to default XP skin they went small again.

Any ideas?

I think it has to do with the font that is set with theme, try changing it around and see what that does. I remember dealing with that quite a while ago but I don't remember what my fix was exactly.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
