I enjoyed this theme. Tinted it dark green to match current background.

Only gripe is that the details panel on some windows comes up as a red or bright purple version of the one you have in your screenshot, specifically the download window which always comes up with the bright purple. Clashes horribly with my green.

Oh yeah, I did it that way, mostly because I can`t seem to pull off the transparent start button look that well.

My last major theme "X-Aero" is proof of that. I just did not like how that turned out.

But keep an eye out for an update to Aero Theory. I know it says final, but I have some new ideas on how to improve it.

So your suggestion has been noted.

Thanks for the comment. :)

Appreciate the comment. Glad you enjoy the VS. :)

Oh the details panel has an auto color change code in it. And multiple colored background images to go with it.

That was a shellstyle that I borrowed from my friend Torched7 at Deviantart.

I didn`t really look in to modifying his shell, mainly to leave full credit to him for letting me use it.

But I will look into changing that for sure, on the new update that`s coming soon.

    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
