^I'm not to happy about the XP part of the text. The rest kinda fits IMO though. But.. I might as well play around with it :p

@skelly831 and MajinDark: Thanks! :D

@StarLion: You do know that you can't release that right?

I meant that the modded frame bothered me. And now the shadow on the icon bothers me :p I'll send you the original icon :)

Also, you should use the caption bars in your skin instead of the startpanel's userpanel. As you can see in the caption bars, the right side has a gloss on the darker blue bottom. The start panel doesn't have that because there's a "clean" places list.

Ok, finaly switched on both main pcs from your old black theme to this new one Cap, and i must say its great :)

but i do have one small thing i would like to bring up, the colour of a flashing window, say on an msn msg, the orange looks wrong to me, kind of sickly coloured, i feel it would look better as a brighter/stronger orange colour.

but then again im no artists so what do i know >.<

I've played around with that color and IMO that color fits the dark mood of the theme.

The logoff button has the same color but it look different because that's a solid image in the mockup. The flash button the hover button, which is transparent in the mockup, with a color overlay.

^Thanks! :D

Here's an updated mockup from the logon screen:

WE-Blue_Logon-Prev.png

I've remade the Key and ? buttons from scratch, they're looking sharper now. I also added the logo in the logon and it looks freally awesome IMO. I also added a selection to the logon which probably won't be in the compiled version. I remember that it causes nasty errors.

Tomorrow I'll be starting the progress on Silver/Grey which will probably be named Grey. I wanted to make it an early release but I changed my mind about it. The only difference between Black and Grey will be the frames. So this version is going to take less time then the previous ones.

Try increasing the font size on "XP" by one increment and change it from capital letters to lower case, it should look a little bit better and match the actual Windows XP logo more closely. :)

^Did you seen the updated version? The updated version actually has XP in lower case letters. The only thin that I'm not happy with is the color. It needs to look a bit brighter IMO.

@peachey: I thought about that and yeah, I was going to try and make one :D

I'm also thinking about using the blue Windows flag for a screensaver based on the default XP screensaver.

I'm also thinking about using the blue Windows flag for a screensaver based on the default XP screensaver.

I can help you with that if you haven't already started.. just need a psd of the flag and maybe the font to be used.

If you're gonna do it then no probs, just thought I'd help :)

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
