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.

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

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.

    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
