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.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
