I think it has something to do with the separators for the start panel menu's. The ones that you see when you hover over, as an example, "All Programs".

That wasn't it either. Although the font there were both black and I was able to change the muse over to white but it didn/t help the other menus from both showing up black.

I meant the "All Program" menu from XP, it has a skinned menu which is being used in the menus from Firefox in Vista. Also, those shutdown buttons need to be skinned as well.

I'm not at home right now so I can't check it out in XP now. My laptop only has Vista. I'll see about porting in your shutdown buttons.

Those Shutdown buttons are another Vista bug. Here's the screenshot of them in Skinstudio but obviously they aren't render that way in the finished WB as the previous shot showed.

That's weird :s There has to be a way to have them skinned, because I've seen Vista WB skins that had their own buttons there. Sorry, but I cant allow permission for a WB skin if those aren't skinned on Vista.

If I remember correctly, those can't be changed with a visual style, you have to resource-edit the system DLL containing the images.

You can still release the skin, but you'll have to package it with a pre-modified DLL file so the user can swap it out.

No problem! I just went and looked at some of the VS for Vista and all of the Shutdown buttons are render the same way. Another reason why I like XP better. :)

@tmr250z: I can't add more substyles to this theme. Well I can but I'm not going to because then all the other subtyles should also have the toolbar option. I'll think about the black toolbar buttons. I've tried them already but IMO they should have a color. I'll ask my beta testers.

That's ok, lol, now that I am using the blue toolbar buttons on WE Black, I'm really starting to prefer them over the black ones. :D

@StarLion: Then how does VStyler do it with all of his WB skins?

Oh, you were talking about WindowBlinds skins! Sorry, I thought we were talking about native Windows Vista MSStyles (where a resource edit is the only way to acomplish the change).

WindowBlinds can do it all on its own :)

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
