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.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By Zeromus2003 · Posted

      I am actually looking forward to this..... I think Dark Ages was way more fun than the tedious expansions for Doom 2 (nu-doom).

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
