For the people looking for this... this is a (brown mod of) Luna Element mod called Hybrid LE, by ArChAn9eL.

Nice screen btw, goes wonderfully with that wallpaper.

It's already been stated what the theme is. If you read the other posts.

It's called Digsby not Rip off of Adium sir.

He said if its a ripoff of Pidgin, which it isn't. It is however a ripoff of Adium.

He didn't ask the name for it.

I just went back and read every single post since the original screenshot, and nowhere does it even mention that this is a mod of Arc's mod. Yet there are however, a few unanswered posts from people requesting info on the theme, along with some confusion because the screenshot poster mentions it's an XP theme, but showed that he is using Vista.

Not very informative at all.

The only pieces of information that were given was that it's "not for public consumption", and that he is using Windows Vista Ultimate... which of course means that he ported it over in some way (I would assume using Skinstudio). I actually did check on that before I made my informative post, so I wouldn't be redundant if the information was already supplied.

Going back to page 31, I see that you posted a screenshot with the original Hybrid LE mod. You did not however, say that "christopher Ha" is AKA is ArChAn9eL on these boards. From my experience, he has always been happy to send his mods to people who ask for them, even though he never releases them publicly, according to EM3's wishes for Luna Element. This is mainly the reason I mentioned it. If I believed that the theme was really "NFR," and had never been shared with people em masse, I wouldn't have even mentioned it.

You can use XP visual styles in Vista with 3rd-party apps like WindowBlinds.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By lonegull · Posted

      "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
