^Read the notes on the first page :) I will make a logon screen when all the main styles are done. Same counts for the shellstyles. Both will be an add-on to the theme. I didn't make shellstyles yet simply because they "break" the theme.

@BlueFox: Thank you! :D

@mitchmalibu: That's nice to hear :)

awesome lookin theme, one of the better i've seen :) one thing though. i'm one those weirdos who have the taskbar placed at the upper edge of the screen. now might be just me, but don't the lower gradiant on the start menu looks a little out of place then? i can see why it's there though since it fits perfectly when you have the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. i see most other themes use the "inverse-color-method" of handling this. like if the taskbar has a darker gradiant on top, the start menu has a lighter one on the bottom, and vice versa. this theme has a light gradiant on both ends. dunno if this makes any sense, my english is a little rusty :p

^If it's weird for you while having the taskbar at the top then it's probably weird while having it at the bottom as well. It looks fine to me both ways though.. I just added the bottom part because it looks to flat without it.

well, it does look fine, it's just something that striked me when i first used it :) but i see the need for it. definately my new favorite theme. excellent work :cool:

Sorry guys, I've scrapped my work on the WindowBlinds port. I guess I'm a little too inexperienced with it, and just couldn't get it to work. :unsure: Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing can do a good job with it, though.

Oh, and I've reverted back to my XP setup, and using this theme now. I love it!

It's the very first skin that I made by myself from the start. I got stuck at some points where he helped me out :p We're kinda helping each other out which you'll see in LE7.

:D so LE7 is already in the works? when can we expect LE6?

If that was a typo, don't mind me. Carry on.

@skelly831: The 7 wasn't a typo :p I can't talk about it more since it's not my visual style. If there's news about it that everyone should know then em3 will post it.

Oh look, there's a Radish? in my threa:p:p

First of all, great thanks for this visual style! Watercolor has always been my all-time-favorite. Looking very much forward to the ergonomic style :woot:

Like any 3rd party visual style, the minimize to tray button in Everest is borked up. You may have a solution for it?

I've put the glyphs inside the caption button bitmaps. If I would solve that problem then I have to take the glyphs out and put them in a separate bitmap. Which would add more complicated stuff to the theme.

@+Capric0rn

Thanks for your answer, I understand the difficulty of the problem. However if you might ever find some spare time.... ;) :blush: I would be glad to help, however I've got no clue creating themes, I only make scripts and little programs for Linux haha!

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
