Something simple, multiple colour selections (white, black, green (pale), blue (pale) etc...). Also in a lot of simple minimalistic they make the Exit, Maximize and Minimize far too small, i like them quite big (not stupidly big ;) ) so they are easy to click.

I'm using Black at the moment and I'm looking for something new, it's sexy but i don't want transparency and also the Exit, Maximize and Minimize are too small :)

It obviously never saw the light of day. Not even sure if I've still got the psd.

Wow! I will help you look for the .psd if needed. Seriously, that is an awesome mockup.

I would love to see this as a Windowblinds theme: Watercolor Emico.

Agreed again. I think just a bit of transparency on the taskbar would be nice.

Yeah, plus a 4 pixel border, glow effects on the titlebar buttons, and maybe even a new startbutton for the WB version ;)

Aerial and emenience are probably two of my all time favorites. But again, since they never received updates for vista, they don't work correctly with the min/max/close glyphs on vista media center. So far the only skins that actually work correctly with media center are the ones put out by stardock.

If authors took the time to make sure the skin worked natively with vista (meaning all of vista) then that would be a perfect skin.

Something that doesn't remind you that you're using a 3rd party skin.

I wouldn't want to *notice* it being there, I'd rather it just blended in with my system.

Something simple, with usability always highest priority.

This one you posted, Frogboy, is alright. Not my taste, but still, that's closer to what I'm talking about than the others are :)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
